"The bishops have given great emphasis to the religious liberty debates in the United States, but how vocal have they been on the other issues? Some bishops argue that they have spoken out on these other issues but that the media only covers the bishops when they participate in the culture wars."

Duh, bishes, you're losing the culture wars. And rightly so. Are you speaking out on "other" issues with anything like the energy and coordination that goes into the fraudulent fortnights, "defenses" of marriage, contraception fights and abortion fundamentalism?

It's the blind trying to lead the seeing. For goodness sake, you costumed posturers can't even take a hint from your boss in Rome. Funny how he gets such terrific media coverage for speaking out on...  the gospel.
