I think it would be right for them to threaten excommunication to those politicians who vote for it. I would like to see the Vatican come out and say they would support the Bishops decision on that as well to make it more concrete.

I have always liked Cardinal George from his time here as our bishop.

Well sometimes the boundaries must be stated in terms that no one can wiggle out of. This might (in my opinion is) be the time to take that stand. We must take a stand on the issue of life and its place in Holy Mother Church.

I wish the bishops in our country had the courage to act as the Uruguayan Archbishop Nicolas Cotugno did.

Okay, if Archbishop Cotungo can take a stand why is it that bishops in America will not?

What is it that holds their tongue?

If it is fear then we need a St. Patrick to come to America. From what I have learned of St. Patrick he had no fear of earthly matters.
