The Catholic Church is trying but few are listening.

I don't recall seeing any Christian groups protesting at the White House when Bush decreed that torture could be used as a means to gain information from prisoners of our "lovely" little war over there. And I don't hear of any of them that I know personally speaking out against it either. Some I have spoken with about this showed absolutely no concern over it at all. Maybe we should take pictures and start sending them out to everyone like some do with the pictures of aborted babies? I guess it has to be right in their face and they have to feel threatened by it in some way before they will take action.
