No, I would think New Jersey is the state with the worst politicians. We have such a liberal voting record that the rest of us get lost in the sauce.

Calling and stopping by their offices is especially meaningful. I used to stop by my rep’s office on the way home from work…a couple of weeks ago, my sister was shocked when after a conversation on an issue I whipped out my cell phone and called my rep’s office…speed dial!

There is a new statement from the USCCB.
I will try to find it on-line.
www.usccb.org/prolife/constantchurchteaching.shtml.
This is a SECOND statement issued “in response to those who say this teaching has changed or is of recent origin.”

I think the Bishop of Denver, Bishop Chaput, said something about Nancy that went along the lines of “a gifted public servant of strong convictions and many professional skills” but adds that “regrettably, knowledge of Catholic history and teaching does not seem to be one of them.” Here is that link if anyone wants to learn more. catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=13625Nineteen Roman Catholic members of Congress have written to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her to “correct the public record” on remarks she made a week ago on NBC’s “Meet the Press” about the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion.
“As fellow Catholics and legislators, we wish you would have made a more honest effort to lay out the authentic position of the Church on this core moral issue before attempting to address it with authority,” said the letter, delivered to the speaker on Tuesday.
“Your subsequent remarks mangle Catholic Church doctrine regarding the inherent sanctity and dignity of human life; therefore, we are compelled to refute your error,” it added.
Mrs. Pelosi had said the Catholic Church has been divided over abortion and only in the past 50 years has believed that life begins at conception. The remarks were quickly condemned by the bishops of New York, Washington, Denver and Pittsburgh as well as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Catholic officials have stressed that despite different understandings over 2,000 years about when life begins, their church has always considered abortion a grave moral evil.
The signers of the letter asked Mrs. Pelosi to “rectify your errant claims and apologize for misrepresenting the Church’s doctrine and misleading fellow Catholics.”

Oooh, I know. I’m sure that I can’t say it, but they have a big festival downtown each year where many find their future spouses (at least he frequents this parish whenever he does decide to attend mass).
