Bp Morlino on World Over

The present episode of EWTN’s The World Over with Raymond Arroyo features Dr. Stephen Schneck, Chairman of Catholics for Obama, and Most Rev. Robert C. Morlino, Bishop of Madison.

The video of the whole episode is HERE.

Arroyo challenges Dr. Schenck especially about how he can support the Democrat Party’s platform. It gets a little fiery. Interesting.

One of the things that Arroyo asks Bp. Morlino concerns Sr. Simone Campbell’s claim that the US Bishops condemned Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget proposal. Morlino clarifies that a committee of the Conference, not the US bishops, offered an opinion. He also talks about the different roles of bishops and laity in making prudential judgments about moral contingent choices which don’t necessarily concern the promotion of intrinsic evils (e.g., job creation or entitlement reform v. promotion of tax-payer funded abortion).
