BALTIMORE (AP) - The nation's Roman Catholic bishops vowed Tuesday to forcefully confront the Obama administration over its support for abortion rights, saying the church and religious freedom could be under attack in the new presidential administration.
In an impassioned discussion on Catholics in public life, several bishops said they would accept no compromise on abortion policy. Many condemned Catholics who had argued it was morally acceptable to back President-elect Obama because he pledged to reduce abortion rates.
And several prelates promised to call out Catholic policy makers on their failures to follow church teaching. Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, Pa., singled out Vice President-elect Biden, a Catholic, Scranton native who supports abortion rights.
"I cannot have a vice president-elect coming to Scranton to say he's learned his values there when those values are utterly against the teachings of the Catholic Church," Martino said. The Obama-Biden press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Listening to Catholic democrat politicians get it wrong about church doctrine, I was wondering when the Bishops were going to correct them. It seems that the Catholic Church has finally got it sea legs back, because judging by how the Obama voted in the past on abortion those future little fetuses incubating in their mothers better watch out. The Obama says you don't have a right to be born.

This is why, despite having doctrinal differences as I'm not Catholic, that I appreciate the Catholic Church. They are fighting abortion in this country while many new, more contemporary churches don't even see it as an issue, which is appalling. I'm a member of the newer younger church crowd and I don't see how abortion is trumped by economic woes that always happen in cycles and work themselves out.
Well, highboy if you try to figure out the American electorate you're going to go crazy. The fact that abortion was even mentioned in the debates shows how baised the MSM was slanted towards the Obama.
