Pray, Don't make me laugh

FOX News posted this story (excerpt below):

Ninety-five bishops from President Bush's church said Thursday they repent their "complicity" in the "unjust and immoral" invasion and occupation of Iraq.

"In the face of the United States administration's rush toward military action based on misleading information, too many of us were silent," said a statement of conscience signed by more than half of the 164 retired and active United Methodist bishops worldwide.

President Bush is a member of the United Methodist Church, according to various published biographies. The White House did not return a request for comment on the bishops' statement...

Well, well. I wonder where the Catholic Church is. Oh, that's right -- the Catholic Church opposed the war, but stifled its criticism to help Bush defeat Kerry -- because of Kerry's pro-choice position on abortion.

So here's my question for the Catholic bishops -- you have the president you wanted, so what's up with abortion? Anything? And now the election's over -- why the silence on torture and unjust war? Huh?

I guess if we wait for the churches to stand up and speak out, we can expect to be in Iraq the rest of this century...
