The bishops found their voice before the elections

But just before, which some contend was too late.

Okay, but now they’re on the record for clarifying the ultimate issues of life facing society. And the elections only started that confrontation.

His Eminence James Francis Cardinal Stafford criticized President-elect Barack Obama as “aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic,“ and said he campaigned on an “extremist  anti-life platform,” Thursday night in Keane Auditorium during his lecture “Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II: Being True in Body and Soul.“

“Because man is a sacred element of secular life,” Stafford remarked, “man should not be held to a supreme power of state, and a person’s life cannot ultimately be controlled by government.”

…“On November 4, 2008, America suffered a cultural earthquake.”

The aftershocks have only just begun.
