Those who vote for any abortion backing candidate cannot be called CATHOLICS. Its that simple. In addition, voting for an atheistic Marxist is double blasphemy. After this election you will have no chance to change your mind, It will be made up for you in D.C. The next ‘president’ will more than likely appoint at least three Supreme Court Judges. It can be the end of the line for Constitutional Governemnt.

Barack Obama won the Catholic vote by nine points, 54/45,

It's disappopinting that Morrissey would post that without the caveat that those "numbers" are based on unreliable and unscientific exit polls with suspect methodology. What happened to objectivity, Eddie?

Not understanding how the church condones all of this. That is what puzzles me.

St. John Chrysostom once said "The road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops." They'll have to answer not only for their own souls, but the souls of those they lost.

Why is it always the “Catholics” in these articles? Members of other religions voted for Obortion O too.

And their support is also down — all I have is old numbers from a couple of years ago. See you later.

I share your concerns but I stayed in the Church. You may be surprised to see many changes. Things are tightening up. Pope Benedict is serious about changing the culture of the Church. John Paul II started the reforms and Pope Benedict is pushing hard. We have a pretty conservative area but the priest is pushing the new (old) Church positions pretty hard. He is discussing elections and what it means to be a Catholic. I have joined some groups committed to changing things. I pray you consider a change of heart towards the Church. We need good conservative Catholics to reverse the misinterpretation of Vatican II.

Actually the divide is between practicing Catholics, those who attend Mass, receive the sacraments and pray, and nominal or lapsed Catholics. The latter include those who were baptized and never practiced the faith or believed for a while and then fell away. They simply don't really believe. Dozens of Democat pols fall in this non believer category: Biden, Sebelius, Pelosi, Kerry, the Daleys. No one who really believes in a Just Living God attentive to the affairs of humans would endorse the mass for-profit killing of innocent unborn children. It doesn't bear thinking about.

there is a law about taxes, and I am sure you are aware of it.

A priest can talk about issues, but cannot recommend a candidate.

Protestant churches don’t seem to be so highly scrutinized on this issue, but I have seen a few articles about Protestant churches in trouble because of some saying “Vote for _______________.

Well, some Protestant churches are obviously exempt from IRS concerns: every Black Church in Chicago held get out the Obama vote rallies in 2008.And they will do it again.

The Church, herself, does not condone this. It has been the fault of bishops and priests who have been lax in preaching The Truth from the pulpit over the past 50 years. They have put “feel-goodism” before saving souls and this watered down theology has resulted in catholics who have no idea what the Church doctrine is and pick and choose which parts they wish to follow. Add in a subversive laity who are more interested in social justice and undermining the church, and you have a climate in which the Obama administration feels comfortable in attacking the one last major opponent to a complete socialist state.

What makes you think those CINOs go to church on Sunday? My wife and I do. We find that 90% of our church friends despise Obama. In our Bible study group, there is only one Obama supporter out of 10 people. The overwhelming majority of folks working in the various ministries feel the same. So, my question is, “Where are all of these Catholic Obama supporters?”

After his assault on the Catholic church, I don’t see how he gets any of their votes. Why call yourself a Catholic, if you support a man who attacks your church? What is wrong with these people?

Don't know where they all are at, but I can tell ya without a doubt there are a few hundred thousand living in the Hispanic areas of Houston metro.

In fact, the Diocese of Galveston/Houston supports immigration reform that would allow amnesty to illegals.

Gotta grow the roll.

You’re correct about the CINOs. Any poll which presents the views of persons born into a Catholic family, is not accurately portraying the views of practising Catholics. The Province of Quebec still has about 95% of its population with Catholic family roots, but only about 10% of them still practise the faith. It’s the most liberal province in Canada.

I'm very glad that the US Bishops are against the anti-life provisions in Obamacare.

However this story shows how soft the Bishops still are on other so-called Social Justice issues:

Bishops Vs. Boehner
