ITALIAN BISHOPS SIGN A DOCUMENT-WHATEVER

All this signing and talk sounds good. Now, I have a question; what will the Italian bishops do when a politician votes for a pro abortion piece of legislation? If America is any indication they will immediately turn their backs and change the subject. There won't be any punishment and no one will say a word. They'll just ring their hands and slink up to this politician, get down on their knees beg for more public funds to support the Church in it's many various enterprises.

But that's just the way it goes in America. Maybe in Italy the Church has a bit more backbone and honor, not to mention fear of the Lord.

I've got to do something about this cynicism.

"After appearing in public on Monday to speak about the necessity of keeping pro-life ideals in mind while voting, the President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, signed a document with seven other bishops which detailed several essential values for Italian voters to keep in mind during the upcoming elections.

The most imperative in the upcoming regional elections, the bishops said, is “the right to human life, from the point of conception until natural death.” At the same time, the bishops, headed by Cardinal Bagnasco, also reiterated the importance of upholding policies in favor of "protecting and supporting the family, based on marriage between a man and a woman.”
