"If Anyone is Left, Then Discuss Iraq"
An excellent suggestion from a commenter at Diogenes' Off the Record as to how the USCCB's upcoming strategy session with Catholic Democrats should go:
I hope the first thing [the Bishops] do is demand a retraction of the May manifesto. Second order of business should be that the congresspersons sign a commitment to promote pro-life legislation and to decry the politics of death promoted by their former lobby/financial masters - Planned Parenthood, NOW, and NARAL. Third order would be individual confession and public repentance for past promotion of the culture of death. If anyone is left, then discuss Iraq.

That is an EXCELLENT idea!
Then I would like them dressed in sack cloth and roll around in ashes.

Nah. The above conditions should be more than sufficient to clear the agenda calendar for that day.
Then they can do some real work saving souls for a change. You have to keep your priorities in mind, of course.
Isn't this the guy who thinks Adam Smith is a Catholic theologian? Yeah, this clown is worth listening to!
Ah, the genetic fallacy--right on time. BTW, the proposal came not from Diogenes but from the commenter "ladybird." Which, we all can agree, is an odd name for a "guy" and is compelling evidence that MM didn't bother to read the link.
Oh, that's right--these are Catholic Democrats. I forgot that spending public money on certain initiatives the Church supports coats the legislator with sin teflon.
More seriously: the first item is the bare minimum from those Dems who got their thongs in a twist about the Pope's statement in Mexico City.
The remainder would be nice, but is beyond the possibilities of politics.
Jay, you are an obvious homosexual.

Better than listening to a clown like you who thinks the DNC is a Congregation of the Roman Curia.
Jay, you are an obvious homosexual.
And he's also deceived by the Anti-Christ, if memory serves me aright.
Regarding this meeting though, it might be useful as well to ask the assembled members of the USCCB to likewise:
* condemn the May manifesto
* commit to promote pro-life legislation and to decry the politics of death of the pro-abort crowd
* participate in individual confession and public repentance for their historic tolerance and even cosseting of pro-abortion Catholic politicians.
And then whichever bishops are left could talk with the remaining politicians about the Iraq War.
