Maybe Raymond Burke needs to remove the lint from his naval so that he can see what the world is like.Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death” by bill hicks | October 3, 2008 Vatican officials seldom single out political leaders who differ with the Church on issues like abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research. But now that the Vatican’s highest court is led by an American, the former St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, we can expect things to get more explicit in Vatican City — at least when when it comes to U.S. politics. Burke, who was named prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature in June, told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues.” He then attacked two of the party’s most high profile Catholics — vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion. He said Biden and Pelosi, “while presenting themselves as good Catholics, have presented Church doctrine on abortion in a false and tendentious way.”

He, or the Church if he speaks officially for them, can go to Hell. They have no business messing with our civilian politics or in condemning one party or the other.
Our politics should NOT follow the dictates of any one church. Of the 50,000 varieties of Christianity in the US, which one should be allowed to dictate? Then we could get into all of the other faiths ...
If he condemns abortion and bioethics, is he then implying by silence the war mongering and murder and torture called for by others in our society are good and God's goodness?
He is nuts!
