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.
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.
