Boo hoo. With 75% of Hispanics voting for Obama, most of them Catholics, the church has no one to blame but themselves. Shut down Catholic Services and hospitals if you don’t want to pay for employees abortions. Because abortions are now a right, to be paid for by employers, period.
The Catholic church is one of the biggest supporters of illegal immigration, so they will reap what they have sown.
Persecution of the church by the state. From the looks of the results, I'd surmise than many members of the church put union membership above church membership. Speaks volumes.
The bishops brought this upon us. Decades of coddling openly-heretical, defiant, dissenting Dammocrap (and, in recent years, some Republican) politicians. Buying into cultural and economic Marxism. Execrable catechesis of the laity for decades and decades. Sheltering thousands of child-molesting priests, thus, at once, committing the murder of the souls of uncounted Catholics, creating scandal and division within the laity, disaffecting millions of lay Catholics. They are to blame. It is their crime.
But, just like with the priest-molestor scandal, we the laity will pay.
The Catholic Church’s flirtations with liberation theology based social teaching has caused this mess in the Catholic conscience. This is also pervasive in other sects in the faith. This is a painful lesson from God to purge the leaven of this false teaching from our midst.
Anybody know what the breakdown was for Catholic voters this time? I’m considering stopping my weekly contributions until the hierarchy whips some things into shape.
In my view, the Church just decided with this election to start “informing” parishioners about the immorality of the Democratic platforms. It should have started 30 years ago, even 20 years ago, but no, they were so enthralled with Dems like Pelosi & Kennedy that they didn’t dare speak out. They were quiet for too long.
Sanctity of life was just a talking point, not something they really cared about...at least not enough to start instructing people about it. The Church began sending confusing messages. The left has been pushing for the Church to change its stance on abortion, pre-marital sex, and gay marriage for a long time. This election is the first they began to fight back. Too little too late.
Until the Church decides to publicly denounce politicians who preserve the left’s agenda, it will continue to falter when trying to get an electorate to listen when it’s convenient. JMHO. I’m so sorry that I feel this way. The devil seems to be winning right now, but I take solace in knowing that Christ won the ultimate battle for all of us.
I hope the Catholic Church gets everything they deserve.
Which is to burn in hell.
Evangelical vote stayed home. Majority of white women broke for Obama. President Obama 15-point lead among all Catholic voters.
I’m sorry....but the Church has brought this upon themselves.
The response of the hierarchy to the Obamacare mandate has been nothing short of pathetic. Obama got right in their faces and delivered a shot to the solarplexus, and they did not even have the guts to take to the pulpits and tell the people in plain, direct language that a vote to re-elect him was tantamount to a mortal sin.
Instead we got cryptic references to web links where we could go and read a statement from the Bishops. And a muddled, confused Voters Guide which seemed to lump the mandate and tax-paid abortions in on an equal footing with immigration amnesty and “social justice”.
They’ve gone along with this program silently in Europe for decades, and I guess I should have expected that from them here. They’d rather that than risk offending Hispanics and union hacks who put into the collection basket, apparently.
To those in the Catholic Church who voted conservative, and to the bishops who exhorted Catholics to do so, thank you.
Not surprising since the Catholic “religion” is blind to so many Biblical truths.
People have pondered whether Hurricane Sandy and other natural disasters were judgements of God on America have ignored the real judgement upon America - 0bama. At least 4 more years of judgement upon all sectors of America starting first at the moral foundations of the country - the church.
