In its July 1 editorial, the Houston Chronicle lectures the bishops about matters that they should leave alone. Not to be misunderstood, when the Catholic Church takes a public policy stand on any issue, it is fair game for criticism.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lied again on July 22 when she described herself as "a devout Catholic."
