Nixon Won. Twice. | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is not about who has the right answer.  It is about who has the right to decide.  While it is tempting to say simply that the bishops and Rome have done badly on countless matters, it is enough to say that the Church belongs to the people, not the bishops and it is time for the people to take it back and to take all Church property from Episcopal control - as well as the election of the very same bishops.  Nixon won because he controlled the party and the second time picked McGovern to run against.  The bishops are equally guilty of such shenanigans.  Remember, they picked Rigali, Law and Chaput - among others.
