Commenting on Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles, Anthony R.

This a an issue that is properly left up to the multitude of individual Catholics working through the proper political channels to decide. The USCCB as an organization should not have a public opinion on the matter. The bishops as a group have wandered far afield of their competence in matters like this and need to be put in their place. There aren't enough characters permitted in this post to express my disgust. My dollars go elsewhere when they come calling with their hands out.
