Catholic Bishops Seek to Meet With McCain, Obama

BOSTON -- America's Catholic bishops have a few thoughts on politics, and this year they want to share them directly with the candidates.

Neither Republican John McCain nor Democrat Barack Obama have replied to the invitations offered last month, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the conference.
