The bishops approved a National Pastoral Initiative on Marriage just two weeks after 11 states passed initiatives outlawing same-sex unions and after a large number of U.S. voters cited "moral values" as their most pressing concern.
"This is a bedrock of our teaching. This is our moment to teach,'' said Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit, one of the main backers of Michigan's successful ballot measure banning same-sex marriage. "We have been co-opted by the media and the society in which we live.''
What's new about the bishop's crusade is not the teachings themselves but the feeling among church leaders that they finally may have the attention of the people in the pews.

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
