And Letting the Bishops Wait
...until after the election.
Were I Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden, who are "pro-life" in their understanding of how best to promote life in every dimension from a consistency approach that includes a comprehensive understanding of War Murder, and facilitating the social structures that encourage life (affordable housing, health care, pregnancy assistance, etc...) - because the Bishops do not seem to understand this approach, and have a very narrow limited understanding of public policy which is exclusively Republican imposing criminal penalties only on women (when men created unwanted pregnancies) as the only viable "pro-life" solution or position-
I would make them wait until AFTER the election before meeting with them.
I would just politely schedule with them on November 8th.
If they insist on anything sooner, you know that they are trying to posture to influence an election. And that is not proper or legal.
Note that this is the position taken only by the US Bishops- American Republican Bishops- the Bishops in the rest of the world have better sense and the rest of the world watching the US Bishops doing this think we are all in trouble.
