I wish our Bishop Conference (USCCB) was like this

MANILA, Philippines, February 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The bishops of the Philippines have responded emphatically to growing pressure from anti-life activists, calling for accountability from Catholics on moral issues.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) have rallied Catholic leaders throughout the country to educate parishioners on the immorality of artificial birth control methods, in response to a concerted onslaught by population control advocates.

Supported by the United Nations, activists for population control have launched an aggressive assault on the country, pushing for anti-life legislation that would limit family size to two children, increase the social acceptance and availability of artificial birth control and give greater access to abortion.

House Bill 3773, the responsible Parenthood and Population Management Act of 2005, is now before parliament.
“There’s a hidden agenda behind the population bill,” Archbishop Fernando Capalla of Davao, president of the Roman Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, told reporters. “All this is being done in the name of business.”
Capalla accused foreign companies that manufacture contraceptives of backing the strong lobby for the passage of Bill 3773, reported Ecumenical News International.

I wish our Bishop Conference (USCCB) was like this…

I think everyone does, but it won’t happen until all the progressive, modernist leaders croak.
