  Yes, the Bishops have had to retain legal counsel due to the clerical abuse horror.  And they have allocated some resources to argue their positions concerning ssm and abortion - should they not?  Do they not have the right to teach Catholic positions?
  
  But do they not also support Catholic welfare and social programs?  Health services?  Of course they do.  
  
  But please - we digress.  Do not the Bishops statements endorse many tenets of BOTH political parties?
