Rumors that the Catholic Bishops Were Finally Getting their Act Together Apparently Exaggerated

Quoted in the once great Chicago Tribune:

"Catholic bishops say voters' souls at stake"

"As a result of the public debate, bishops were able to shape the document on the floor. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Chicago insisted that the guidelines urge Catholics to consider the religious roots of current conflicts overseas."

"'The people who coalition forces are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and a dozen other locales are not the poor and oppressed seeking to throw off their chains,' he said. 'They are jihadist fanatics who believe they are doing God's will.'"



We have all seen pictures from Haditha, Fallujah, Abu Gharib, etc. Those dead women and children in them were not jihaidsts. They were women and children.
