See, the cynical side of me wonders if Papa B would do that, or if he'd follow the USCCB and fall silent on the issue. Will he be the Bishop that the world needs? Or will he cave to the whims of popular diplomacy?

Here's me prayin' it's the former.

If 2004 is any indication, I would think he'd speak out.

A man is a hypocrite if he professes something as true while in fact believing the opposite.

(I am so sick of hearing this.)

Isn't that like being "personally opposed" to rape, but in "favor of" a man's right to choose?

Yeah, or what JC Watts said about slavery. "I'm personally opposed to owning slaves, but if my neighbor wants to, that's his right."

I asked him in person once (when he was running for Gov of Virginia) what he would do about abortion, and other Crimes against life, and he said that it was a top priority for him. I don't know if his record says that, but I was a lone pro-lifer speaking up in a majority pro-choice room and scared shitless.

not only that. if he says that he believes abortion is wrong, it means that he "believes" that abortion is murder. Thus, he supports a women's right to choose to murder her child. This is why the "personally against, publically for" approach is so fundamentally flawed.

Well, he's against partial-birth abortion, at least. [url="http://www.ontheissues.org/Tim_Kaine.htm"]See here.[/url]
