Concerning our “Partisan” Bishops

Thomas Peters (aka American Papist ) issues a challenge to “left-leaning Catholics” (such as Joe Feuerherd of the National Catholic Reporter , Michael Sean Winters of America , and Fr. Thomas Reese, SJ):

I challenge them to explicitly and totally repudiate the pernicious claim that US Bishops, when they speak about abortion, are engaging in “partisan politics.” This same claim is similarly made about American Catholics when they, essentially, mimic the talking points of the US Bishops.

The claim that US Bishops, and those who agree with them, are “partisan” when it comes to abortion is deeply hypocritical, because such a claim is, itself, a partisan charge made exclusively by liberals.
