What a great day to be a Catholic in America--thank you Nancy Polosi. How wonderful for you to take on the Catholic Church and Her doctrines--you broke a Wall of Silence and forced the Bishops of America to do the right thing and stand up and be Bishops--thanks be to God.

To date--October 13, 2008-- Sixty-two bishops have come out with powerful statements clarifying how Catholics should vote morally in the election Our wonderful local Joint Statement by Bishops Farrell (Dallas)and Vann (Fort Worth) along with that of Archbishop Gomez of San Antonio have been very encouraging here in Texas.

The following is a list of those bishops who have made public statements about Catholics in politics in this election. Regarding those bishops not on the list, it should be mentioned that the joint statement by Justin Cardinal Rigali, chair of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop William Lori, Chair of the Committee on Doctrine, carries the unified voice of all the bishops. This list is from InsideCatholic.com, Will the Church Split Along Red and Blue Lines?
