Political Missteps of US Bishops

A good article today in CatholicCulture.org about how the same miscalculation of the US Bishops that helped passed health care reform (which included federal funding of abortion of course), is now being repeated with respect to immigration.

As soon as US Catholic Bishops throw their support behind deeply flawed legislation, that support is used to boost the bill and confuse American Catholics, even if the bishops simultaneously express reservations or concerns about certain provisions of the bill.

Perhaps some US Bishops are too trusting of current Congressional leadership.
