Catholic bishop Gumbleton: Bush policies in opposition to 'culture of life

[UrbScotty]

President George W. Bush has visited Michigan many times during the campaign, including a recent visit to Farmington Hils. But he has never stopped in Detroit's inner city. If he did, he would meet firsthand many men, women and children who have dramatically experienced the effects of his policies.

When Bush travels the country, he often says he stands for "a culture of life in which every person counts and every being matters." These words resonate deeply with Catholics. But is his agenda the Catholic agenda? Does he really stand for a "culture of life" that recognizes and celebrates the worth of every human being?

In other words, current US policy is that some human life does not matter.

Most Rev. Thomas Gumbleton is an auxiliary bishop in Detroit. It's nice to hear a high-ranking Catholic stand up to Bush.
