If the bill funds abortion for illegal immigrants does it fit into his field of expertise? Plus I can understand how busy the Cardinal is with leading  protests at all those abortion clinics in L.A. and being the visible leader for the pro-life cause in his diocese.  Oh wait his time must be involved in something else. Possibly it is the time he has spent persuading all of his pro-aboriton friends in the government. Well maybe not. Possibly it is in supervising those seminaries busting with new seminarians.  Oh wait.  Oh well I am sure he is doing something.
