How Will History Judge Catholics In The 2008 Election?

The Catholic Church is often accused of complicity in a variety of moral evils, including the institution of slavery, the rise of the Nazi Party, and even the horror of the Holocaust itself.

Historians differ on the degree of blame properly assigned to Catholics. But they all agree on one thing: These evils were the result of Church teaching being ignored by the laity and acquiescent bishops who should have said more and with a louder voice.

Will historians a century from now look back on this election as the moment when Catholics in America fully embraced another intrinsic moral evil -- abortion -- directly contradicting their professed beliefs? Will historians say that, after 40 years of strong papal leadership opposing "the culture of death," American Catholics chose to turn a deaf ear? That the U.S. bishops said too little, and with too soft a voice?
