In a Reuters piece we read:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – U.S. Catholic bishops on Thursday ended years of soul searching over whether Catholic politicians who support abortion rights should be denied communion, leaving the decision with local bishops. …
LITERAL VERSION:
We decided not to decide.

accepta aqua, lavit manus coram turba dicens:
“ Innocens ego sum a sanguine hoc; vos videritis! â€Â.

” Di voi pastor s’accorse il Vangelista,
quando colei che siede sopra l’acque
puttaneggiar coi regi a lui fu vista;
quella che con le sette teste nacque,
e da le diece corna ebbe argomento,
fin che virtute al suo marito piacque.
Fatto v’avete Dio d’oro e d’argento;
e che altro è da voi a l’idolatre,
se non ch’elli uno, e voi ne orate cento?”
