At the end of the day, Catholic Church leadership did not have the courage of their convictions. They shied away from a direct confrontation with Obama and anything that might have dissuaded Democrats from the collection basket.

They should have been wall-to-wall with one clear, unequivocal message. Either Obama backs down from this, or it is sinful for Catholics to vote for him.

They did not come anywhere even remotely close to that.

It occurs to me that the Catholics who attend Mass regularly are also the ones that donate regularly to the Church. Since the Bishops seem to want to play "nice-nice" with the "Catholic" politicians who claim to be Catholic but support non-Catholic positions, we faithful Catholics should tell the Bishops, "no more money until you start excommunicating these hereitcs."

The priest at my parents parish voted for Obama! I think a national movement would be in order. Write a letter to your bishop and tell him you are no longer donating to the Church until they take real action.
