Are the Bishops Just Playing Politics With Obama?

Pro Ecclesia has a great post and link to a Welborn piece that in short order shows how shallow this charge is. See Politically Motivated?

I have some respects for some more Liberal(Theological wise and Political) Catholic commentators that in a reckless manner have made this charge.

There are no "Right wing" Catholic United States Bishops. I do wonder if they realize the cost of what they have done? I am sure these attacks have not gone unnoticed by the Bishops. Chaput who of many has been in the forefront is probably wondering why he is being labeled "Right Wing" He took many arrows over immigration reform. He like the other Bishops have been working hard on State Execution issues. And all of these Bishops seem quite friendly at times to lets say more Democrat Economic polices and out reach to the poor.

But done of this is noted of course . So I suspect they are paying attention to who is saying what. I have a feeling many of them will not play the role of useful idiot in the future to some folks
