I've heard that the Vatican is gearing itself up for a sit-down with some of the American bishops over the "prolife = no abortion or birth control only, forget that other stuff like torture and poverty and wars, that's all for wimps" disjunction, which some of the bishops here are also apparently guilty of, as, the V sees it not only as inconsistent with doctrine, but also showing a tendency to "being political" which is displeasing. If true, this would be good. If not true, what a shame. Because this needs nipping--not in the bud; it's well past that, but weeding out for sure.
