Catholic church weighs into politics

Catholic church, also covered by The Gaurdian is telling people to remember it's teachings when they vote, as if true believers wouldn't anyway. While softer than the Vatican line it still says:

• no to abortion
• no to stem cell research
• no to cloning
• no to sex outside marrage
• no to homosexuality
• yes to birth control by abstinance only

This combines with pushing for a reference to europes [bloody, repressive, and violent] christian history in the new EU constitution to show that Catholosism appears to becoming more politically active again. While I don't expect a renewal of the Spanish Inquisition, as Monty Python said, "nobody expects the Inquisition".
