Bishops talk too much . . .

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

. . . diluting the impact and giving pols the opening to say they agreed on this or that but not on the HHS issue (to name one on which they might speak with authority and knowing whereof they do speak).

Later, from Reader D about the bishops’ voting guide:

It’s a mine field of excuses and loopholes, WAY too long to plow through, not reader-friendly. Which is apparently what they hoped for — bore and turn away anyone wondering what they have to say on the matter of voting. It’s befuddling.
