text: There is no evidence I can find online that there was/is and extreme left that could sweep abortion under the rug. What helps me get past this is that like other religions with bad theology and irrational teachings, such as forbidding blood transfusions even to save a life in the Seventh Day Adventists the Catholic Church has an obsession with this issue that transcends logic or reason. 
       Behind this is the claim that Evangelical Catholicism leads to friendship with Jesus (George Weigel  on Cardinal Bernardin). He refers to the "Bernardin Machine" as if the Cardinal were a politician. The connotation suggests corruption which I find offensive, as I do his idolizing someone who was for all intents and purposes a greatly challenged man with serious cognitive deficits-JP II.
      The USCCB is not outraged likely because they voted for Trump and are at a loss what to do now that he has assumed the Presidency.  
      There are serious ethical, religious, theological flaws here.
