"Catholic Politicians Feel Church Heat on Abortion"

A propaganda piece an article in today's Chicago Tribune contains the following hilarious line:

.... Because the Catholic Church grants bishops great latitude in their dioceses, it remains unclear whether the bishops' recent actions represent the beginning of a broad shift toward harsher public sanction of Catholic officeholders who disagree with the church on abortion....

Let's see. In Iraq, we find a children's prison, torture chambers, and mass graves. In Cuba, left-wing hero Castro imprisons political opponents and journalists for decades. But Catholic bishops in the USA actually suggest to pro-baby-killing "Catholic" politicians that they stop pretending to be Catholic, and a cognate of the word "harsh" is employed in an article about it.

And note how "fair and balanced" the article is: it quotes the subversive traitor Richard McBrien and the editor of the liberal Jesuit magazine, America. No identifiable real conservative Catholic is quoted. And, by my count, the word "conservative" is used four times; the words "liberal" and "progressive" are not used at all.

And note the ominous "warning" with which the article concludes: oooh, you foolish bishops; get some spine, stand up, and demand that Catholics be Catholics, and you're going to get it!
