He was always a solid Bishop. I remember back in the '90's when he forbade any pro-abort politician from speaking on any Church property. With Corpus Christi and the surrounding environs running 70%+ Democrat, that took some real guts.

This is very heartening and thank goodness Bishops are speaking out more than they ever did a decade ago. I only wish we had Bishops that would speak so clearly and decisively in Australia...

I also recommend Archbishop Chaput's latest book, Render Unto Casear. He has been a consistent voice on the importance of the anti-abortion stance but it is also a wonderful piece on adherence to Catholic doctrine in general.

I think it should be "good" before conscience and ChristI.
I concur with the retired Bishop!
