I guess liberals weren't taught that either when they try to force Catholic schools to conform to their agenda, etc. 
  
  If you are talking about Chatel slavery, the US bishops might have owned slaves--but that was not for lack of a clear condemnation of Chatel slavery. The bishops simply ignored Church teaching. This is not all that different from bishops who give communion to pro-abortion politicians despite clear Church teaching on that issue also. 
  
  Nancy Pelosi can give speeches about whatever she wants to give them about.  I disagree with her liberal, secular, atheistic humanistic agenda--but she is free to hold those views.  My problem is that Nancy Pelosi gives the impression that she is Catholic and espousing acceptable Catholic views.
