Some pushback from our bishops ...
"Of course it would be wonderful for the Clinton campaign to repudiate the content of these ugly WikiLeaks emails. All of us backward-thinking Catholics who actually believe what Scripture and the Church teach would be so very grateful."
-Charles Chaput, OFM CAP., Archbishop of Philadelphia
"If it had been said about the Jewish community, if it had been said about the Islamic community, within 10 minutes there would have been an apology and a complete distancing from those remarks - hasn't happened yet,”
-Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York
"...the truth of Christ is never outdated or inaccessible. The Gospel serves the common good, not political agendas. I encourage my fellow Catholic brothers and sisters, and all people of good will, to be good stewards of the precious rights we have inherited as citizens of this country. We also expect public officials to respect the rights of people to live their faith without interference from the state. When faith communities lose this right, the very idea of what it means to be an American is lost."
-Joseph Kurtz, Archbishop of Louisville and President of the USCCB
