Bishop Sheridan, ballot issues and the blogosphere

The Colorado Catholic Conference's wider release of Bishop Sheridan's column in the Oct. 6 CC Herald has stirred up some Catholic blogs. Two conversations of note:

Commonweal magazine's Anna Nussbaum asks, what is the role of the bishop?

Catholic blogger Curt Jester likes it.

What are your thoughts on the bishop's column? From my one year here in the diocese, I still get very passionate responses (for and against) by Catholics over his 2004 pastoral letter, "Duties of Catholic Politicians and Voters."
