Glad I left the Catholic church a long time ago and attend a God-fearing conservative denomination.
That’s why we need female priests, Bishops, liberated nuns — yep, that’ll do it!
No, they stayed home. This is why Romney earned fewer votes than John McCain - despite the fact that John McCain suspended his campaign and the disaster that was the 2008 crash.
And he still ran a better campaign than Romney. :)
Well, Catholics who do not attend Mass on Sunday are not really Catholics anymore. It is more accurate to refer to thenm as former Catholics or people who were “born Catholic.” Faithful Catholics , who do attend Sunday Mass, voted overwhelminhgly against Obama, as they did in 2008. These faithful Catholics would have heard or read the bishops’ statements.
Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back. While “catholic” voters who don’t attend mass voted for Obama en masse, evangelicals stayed home.
At least the majority of faithful mass attending Catholics voted for Romney.
Thats an interesting strategy. If our candidate is not utterly perfect on the issue, such as suggesting rape and life of the mother exemption, then we go ahead and vote for the psychopath who advocates killing babies that manage to survive an abortion?
This mentality has just enabled FAR more abortion than Romney ever would have on his worst day.
Maybe the body count will reflect our purity? This is like marrying a career prostitute to avoid marrying a fiancee’ who isn’t a virgin, and is therefore impure.
if this is true this really pisses me off....
The half that voted for Obama or the half that didn't?
Why would the sincerity of the devout Catholics be questioned? I don't get it.
Another FReeper was saying the Catholic Church should "Go to Hell". Why is that? The bishops in my state sent out a letter telling parishioners to not vote for gay marriage. Some of the Catholics evidently disobeyed. Why is the Church to blame? Why the irrational hate for the Church among other Christians? You are making Satan very happy.
Maybe after Islam becomes the official religion of the United States they will come around.
I would suspect that a majority of the Catholics who voted socialist came from south of the border.
Amen.
Quite the opposite. The Catholics that I know who voted Obama attend mass every Sunday. The ones I know who do not attend church regularly mostly voted for Romney.
It would appear the Church has chosen a popularity contest approach to be all things to all people, rather than being an anchor for all people against the world of temptation and consequences.
It is said that after elections we get the world we deserve. I have resisted that belief since I didn't vote for any of this, but now I see that we do.
The older generation first receives the world they have taught to their children.
And here we are, wondering what comes next. Too bad the Church doesn't know the answer or chose not to teach it...but it's not too late, is it?
They’re crazy. Don’t they know how he’s destroying them?
Time to purge the church of lukewarm Catholics.
Time to purge the church of lukewarm Catholics.
Someone at that church needs to set the example. (the right one)
I friend who I trust and is very well connected in the Church said in September that over half the members of the USCCB were still planning on voting for Obama this year. Given what Raymond Arroyo said about their vote in 2008 ( see http://onelacatholic.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-many-of-hierarchy-voted-for-obama.html ) I believe this.
“All heresy begins below the waist.” And the problems in the USCCB still run very deep in this regard. That is the primary explanation for the failure of the Church in this election.
“No, they stayed home.”
Only an immature low life A-hole would have stayed home. Their big day of moral posturing just got us the maximum possible number of abortions,
6 dollar gasoline,
the end of coal (doubling our electric bills),
the end of fracking, skyrocketing taxes,
“flexibility” with Russia,
more of Moochelle Obamas food nazi policies,
a warm embrace of the muslim brotherhood,
nuclear weapons for Iran,
the final abandonment of Israel,
the likely destruction of the dollar as a reserve currency,
further oppression of American churches,
and all the Abortion Obama and his machine can churn out.
Good work guys.
This should be a profound warning to the Vatican that it has effectively lost the souls of over half of those in America who call themselves Catholics.
Hypothetically, it is comparable to a situation in which over half the Catholics living in a nation embraced unholy paganism, while continuing to call themselves Catholic. What can the church do?
When the church is afraid to carry out actual excommunication, unwilling to do more than argue with the heretic that they should stop being heretics, it is no longer Catholic.
What priest is brave enough to ask for a show of hands of who voted for Obama, then to ask them to group together and tell them that they are excommunicated, that their names will be removed from the records of the church, and that in future they are to be denied communion or even attendance at mass? And finally give them a request that they henceforth do not call themselves Catholics.
It is past the point where the church can try to redeem the majority who have strayed. It can either expel them or be destroyed by them.
