FUMARE: Cardinal Maida and Archdiocese of Detroit Obstruct Pro-Life Catholics (2450 words)
Not only is the Archdiocese of Detroit failing in its fundamental task of forming consciences, it is obstructing the work of the lay faithful of CPS in bringing Catholic values into the public.
Additionally, the Archdiocese of Detroit and other Michigan bishops are wrongfully appropriating the proper role of the laity by taking positions on such political issues as affirmative action (Proposal 2) and the funding of public schools (Proposal 5).
The Archdiocese of Detroit's policy is being used to prohibit the legitimate political activity of the lay faithful of CPS.
