U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
The 18 Democrats who recently criticized Pope Benedict XVI when he answered questions about Mexico’s legalizing abortion both misrepresented the pope’s remarks and defied freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The position was noted by Sister Mary Ann Walsh, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ director of media relations, in a May 18 statement.

Among the 475 priests expected to be ordained in the U.S. by the Catholic Church in the next few weeks, 9 percent have been touched by the Iraq war or served in the military before answering a call to serve the Church, according to a survey by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Among the military veterans, more than one-third served in the Air Force.
