CAELewis, 
I totally agree! 
That character flaw is self serving narcissism driving sociopathy and against the common good. This affliction shows up in most Repubs, but NOT all!!! Paul Ryan and Langone, Mitch McConnell, etc,etc,etc. The USCCB is a mixed group of supremacists who actually believe that the church has the right to USE the lives of others and then rant about Pro-life. 
Oh well ...
