Extremist Catholic Bishops... way YIK!

This article, in USA Today is just completely irritating... particularly this:
The bishops suggested that the final document include the message that "aggressively pro-abortion policies" would be viewed "as an attack on the church."

Are they going to pretend that respecting the personal belief systems of people of every faith could be considered "aggressive polic[y]?" They don't find it even slightly hypocritical to claim that the only belief systems worth protecting are their own? Are they going to pretend that the personal belief systems of the many clergy who support reproductive freedom (including Catholics) are somehow less deserving of respect than theirs? Really?

Kelly,

"Are they going to pretend that the personal belief systems of the many clergy who support reproductive freedom (including Catholics) are somehow less deserving of respect than theirs? Really?"

Yes. Catholic teaching is that abortion is inrisnically evil. Yes, there are dumb Catholics who don't know this.

Note to Mr. Anonymous:

No need to explain Catholic hypocrisy to me... I am well versed in that subject. It is telling though, that you were unable to answer the question, isn't it? The hypocrisy of the extremists (of any religion) is second only to the justification of their immoral behaviour.
