Good comments on this. There are not a few Catholics, like my parents and myself, who ignored the bishops' admonishments on single issue voting. Speaking for myself, I think they have totally forfeited their moral authority with their mishandling of the sexual abuse cases by some members of the clergy. I have an informed conscience, and it doesn't necessarily agree with theirs. by khughes1963 on Mon Jan 15, 2007 at 11:33:28 AM EST Parent
