...great gap between church teaching and practice troubles Cincinnati's Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin, president of the U.S. Bishops' Conference. Said Bernardin in an interview in U.S. Catholic: "So many consider themselves good Catholics, even though their beliefs and practices seem to conflict with the official teaching in the church.

His fellow bishops apparently feel the same way. In one significant action last week, the bishops opposed "efforts to use food as a political and strategic weapon," and called on "the whole Catholic community" to fast at least two days a week in order to help the hungry.
