This may seem beyond the pale, but about a year and a half ago one of the priests at the parish I used to belong to started giving a homily about social justice that threw the guilt and tacked way to the left.
I had enough, and if you know me, you know I speak my mind. I stood up in church during his homily and interrupted him. I told him what he was preaching was communism, anti-Americanism, and treason.
Many in the congregation were shocked, and I got some scattered applause as I marched out of that church never to return, I’ve found another parish now.
But when priests start spewing this crap they need called on it immediately, Whether in the middle of Holy Mass or not.
He, unfortunately, was not alone. Something was brewing before the Council. Priests such as Father Hesbergh were determined to delink the Church and higher education. They wanted to join the national elites, for Catholic collages to become more like Harvard and Yale. Well, it happened.
The fly in the ointment is less the old unions than the public employee unions.
With all due respect, nobody in my Catholic family is voting for the Marxist, either..
Just like some people who post nonsense at FR.
Biden masquerades as a Catholic. Ryan is the real McCoy.
Good,
So your family has it together.
Oh my!!!!!! you have no idea how many times i have wanted to stand up in the middle of mass and yell out to get them to talk about what is happenng to our country!!!!
Evil prevails when good men stay silent.
i applaud you for your courage sir.

Any Catholic who vote for Obama is nuts.
Any Jew who votes for Obama is nuts.
Any white person who votes for Obama is nuts.
Let me simplify - any person who wants to remain free and who votes for Obama is nuts.
That’s the crew that’s gonna put you all in chains, the Democrats.

Pelosi biden ted kennedy are catholic but they are abominations. it makes me sick that they call themselves catholic. They have/had alot of power and scream from the mountain tops that they are CATHOLIC. what are the religions of the rest of the liberal dems? they dont wear their religion on their sleeve but they are just as evil.
abortion is the silent holocast. if anyone gets a chance go to you tube and look up gianna jennson abortion survivor.
you want to see a first hand miracle by God? check her out. if you continue to support abortion after her amazing story you have no heart nor a soul.
I’m a catholic and would have to be killed to be kept from opposing the Obama junta. My Jewish friends mostly HATE Obama as well.

Akin is obviously hardcore RTL, although a bit soft on some elements ~ from my point of view, but so is your local bishop.
Most of the guys in the hierarchy never call out for the death penalty for rapists, nor for abortionists, yet i think you have to add that to the RTL side or you are not consistent with the "protect the innocent' doctrines.
The issue Akin raised (the magic spemacide/uterus) really isn't relevant to the issue ~ which is why you'll see so many asking why he even said that ~ and if he had been truly consistent in his RTL positions he'd not even found himself inartfully grasping for that concept ~ he could have simply said, "we don't kill babies' and toss it all back to his interrogator!
Economic status is part of it, as is whether or not they are professional people or college educated technicians like RNs and school teachers.
If they own a business they are as likely to be Republican voters as non-Catholics.
Then there are the seriously devout and they will vote Republican on the RTL question ~ right along with their Evangelical cousins.
What's happening is the popularity of the candidates. That drives turnout for the various Catholic factions.
I Suspect this time the latino business owners who thought they heard something about tax relief and reduced medical insurance costs will not vote for Obama. Will they vote for the Republican? That remains to be seen, but I"m pretty sure that class' turnout has been suppressed!
“We have a younger generation of Catholics who are more conservative, especially on moral and cultural issues,” he says.

Please, God, make it true. I don’t see how the pendulum can swing any farther toward evil than it has in recent years.
Why the Church fails to vigorously condemn their likes baffles me???
Here in South Florida we have large Jewish enclaves where the vast majority would die before voting pubbie.
