text: Not only am I willing to listen, I have actively sought support for "what is reported". I spent a good part of yesterday searching for an instance in which a bishop advocated a candidate by name without success.
  
  To this point what I have found is that bishops and priests have pointed to Church teachings, particularly on abortion, and individuals have taken that to mean that they could not vote for their favored candidate because that individual supported abortion, supported the government paying for abortions, and was foursquare for overriding our long tradition of respecting earnest religious beliefs.
