A friend in Florida sent me this e-mail, from his diocese. Evidently, it’s being circulated to all the parish priests:

The 2008 Election is only a few days away and parish parking lots offer an easy target for outside organizations to leaflet parked cars while parishioners participate in weekend Liturgy. Please be vigilant of these efforts and mention to parishioners that whatever literature they find is not an endorsement by the diocese nor has it been approved for distribution. Please remind parishioners to vote prayerfully, reflecting on our Catholic teaching and values and how well the candidates and platforms represent these values.
