35 Is this why the Bishops say that our political culture is negative? Yes, the bishops, said that the political "system is shot through and through with opportunities for corruption, influence-peddling, and the indiscriminate use of public funds for partisan or personal purposes" (PEPP, p. 29). They also said: "If we are what we are today - a country with a very great number of poor and powerless people – one reason is the way we have allowed politics to be debased and prostituted to the low level it is now" (PEPP, p. 10). In fact after analyzing the very negative features of the election process, the Bishops lamented that: "The prime values of our faith – charity, justice, honesty, truth – these are of little or no consequence at all when it comes to our practice of politics in or out of election time." (PEPP, p. 21).
