A joint press release (read below) was released yesterday by major Catholics reform groups, expresses their support of same-sex marriage rights to bishops who are meeting at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore, MD. And at the same time, during the first day of the conference today, president Cardinal Francis George urges bishops to continue to confront President-elect Obama's support on abortion rights. Had Obama supported same-sex marriage, you know for sure that would be their #1 agenda.

As a sidenote, Andrew Sullivan pointed out earlier today that the SF Coronicle reported on how the Catholics were in fact working with the Mormons on their Prop. 8 battle.
