Nonsense. Bishops all but endorsed Trump (which of course they're not permitted to do explicitly), both in published statement like the one I linked to above and as reflected in homilies leading up to the election (which I myself, and many others here, witnessed at Mass). It required no presumption on the part of "liberals."

Democrats don't define themselves by abortion. That's ridiculous. Democrats affirm the right to privacy ("choice"), already enshrined in law.

<<whenever the bishops ram rod Catholic social teaching down the throats of everyone...>>

Really? When did that happen?
