Reply #17: It's just false to claim that the Catholic Church promoted Bush*. [View All]

Some individual Catholics, including some priests and some bishops, promoted Bush* as being "pro-life" and more in line with Catholic teaching, but many other Catholics disagreed. Punish any clergy who broke the law, but not the entire Church.

I'm guessing that not many broke the law, anyway. It is always possible to choose one's words carefully and I'd bet most did, even if they strongly hinted that voting GOP was the moral choice. They may have violated the spirit of the law but stayed within the letter of the law.
