Will Obama’s Catholics Realize What They Have Done?

Courageous Priest ^ | November 12, 2012 | Fr. John Hollowell:

[NYer]

First click here to watch a classic scene from the movie Brave Heart.

By Fr. John Hollowell: Brave Heart is obviously a classic. In the film, Robert the Bruce, the dashing young man from the video above, betrays William Wallace for money, lands, and titles. He regrets it after looking into Wallace’s eyes and seeing the wreckage that his decision has on his country.

I firmly believe that when Catholic hospitals are closing, when priests are being arrested for not marrying Adam and Steve, when our country starts aborting children with tax money, when the Catholic Church is completely turned on and the movement by secular atheists to annihilate the Church begins in full force, then the utterly horrendous, morally bankrupt nature of the voting practices of the cafeteria Catholics will finally be realized, and a lot of Catholics who voted for Obama will say the same thing Robert Bruce said above:

“Money, lands, titles, power..nothing…those pro-life Catholics fight for something that I’ve never had, and I took it from them when I betrayed them and I saw it in their faces on the battlefield, and it’s tearing me apart.”

Ping!

[Gay State Conservative]

No,because Baraq’s “Catholics” care more about money than decency or morality.And we know the mother tongue and birth nationality of these “Catholics”.

[windsorknot]

It is beyond comprehension that Catholics could vote for the most pro-abortion POTUS in US history, going so far as to oppose a bill that would have protected the lives of babies that survived abortions.

[harpu]

Who really gives a sh!t...these OBozo Catholic, arseholes will get what they deserve!!

[jtal]

and a lot of Catholics who voted for Obama will [ regret it ]

I'm extremely dubious.

in fact, I'm betting Obama's kathlix lead the charge against us "recusants".

[ArrogantBustard]

And we know the mother tongue and birth nationality of these “Catholics”.

Yes, they speak English and their birth nationality is USA.

Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland ...

Same mother tongue and birth nationality as the huge masses of "mainline" Protestants and black evangelicals that voted for 0bama.

[Bryanw92]

This is the result of Liberation Theology and the Social Gospel. People were taught that socialism is the Christian thing to do...and they believed it. Now they can’t separate their leftist politics from their faith.

[caver]

It seems as though Catholics are just like the Jews.

[Donnafrflorida]

Speaking as a Catholic, i am at a loss of words to explain how any Christian - catholic or not, can support a politician who goes against the very core of our Bible. all that comes to mind is 30 peices of silver.
these folks are not christian in any sense of the word.

[MDLION]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Many of my fellow Catholics will continue voting Pro-Abortion until the jackboots come through their doors.

[C19fan]

Sorry to say this but not going to happen. Catholics in France, Southern Germany, Ireland, Spain and Italy went down and have never recovered.

[Neidermeyer]

when our country starts aborting children with tax money
*********************************************
We’ve been doing it for decades with hundreds of $Millions each year going to PP.

[Sophia777]

Christians are not what hey used to be.

No they don’t care

[ansel12]

Until the 1972 election, Catholics had either never voted republican, or had once in 1956 (depending on the source), today’s Catholic vote is the best that it has ever been, and winning 48% of the Catholic vote in 2012 is a pretty good year for republicans and Catholics, in fact, one of the best in history.

[sitetest]

Nope, these useful idiots of Satan will come up with another rationalization why it isn’t their fault. That includes the various bishops and priests who supported the Kenyan anti-Christ. They will lack understanding even as they are led off to their deaths.

[ansel12]

Christians are not what hey used to be.

Some Christian groups are very conservative.

Sure they realize what they did.. this is what they wanted, like the rest of the majority. They`ve decided socialism is the path now. Hope they enjoy it when the SHTF.

[EnquiringMind]

No.

[DarthVader]

Remember Jesus said that there would be the wheat and the tares. The wheat are those believers who are truly repentant who strive to live authentic Christian lives. The tares are those who are unrepentant, selfish and hypocritical, Christian in name only. The wheat goes into God’s barn and the tares get burned up in the furnace.

[redgolum]

Good movie. Think the good father is more of a romantic than a realist

[Bryanw92]

48% is less than half. When I said Liberation Theology and Social Gospel are to blame, I was talking about Catholics and Protestants (especially the mainline Protestants). People vote for the socialism because they’ve been taught that it is Christlike. After all, everyone wants to feed the poor, right? I think that many choose to ignore the abortion-on-demand side of socialism.

[Alberta's Child]

I agree with the general sentiment here regarding Catholic voters, but let's be brutally honest. Even if voting for Obama is out of the question, why would any Catholic cast a vote for a Republican candidate whose well-documented track record was one of a leftist governor who was an ardent supporter of the very same government policies on the state level that Obama has been pushing on a national level?

Let's look at Romney's "accomplishments" from Massachusetts ...

Ardent support for abortion? Check.
Gay "marriage" codified into law? Check.
Government-mandated health insurance? Check.
Government-mandated health insurance with legal mandate for birth control and abortion? Check.
Government-mandated health insurance with legal mandate for birth control and abortion, with no exemption for any who object on religious grounds? Check.

Now tell me again, folks -- including (especially) any Catholic religious figure who insists that Romney was someone worth supporting ... What exactly were we supposed to accomplish by electing Mitt Romney to the White House?

[Gay State Conservative]

Yes, they speak English and their birth nationality is USA.

A noticeable percentage of them certainly will be but I'd wager the clothes on my back that a noticeable percent...probably a *very* noticeable percent...have a mother tongue other than English.*They're* the ones to whom I was referring.

[Rashputin]

"Will Obama’s Catholics Realize What They Have Done?"

Nope. They've already hardened their hearts and consequently have been given over to a reprobate mind.

Before long such folks will be making sure they're no longer identified as Catholics because claiming to be Catholic will no longer be acceptable to the fascist nobility.

[ansel12]

Sure 48% is less than half, Catholics vote democrat which is how they have always voted, with a handful of recent exceptions, exceptions that all happened after Vatican II (unless 1956 is counted).

Voting 48% republican is one of the most republican voting results in Catholic history, it is a huge improvement over most elections.

[ex91B10]

"...France, Southern Germany, Ireland, Spain and Italy..."

They didn't have guns. That's the difference IMO.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.

[coton_lover]

No, and it is so sad. As a convert to the Catholic faith, I see modern Catholics believing more like protestants everyday. They don’t want to believe as the Church teaches — as what God wants — they believe only in what they want. Modern Catholics believe that God changes with time, and if He doesn’t, then in His Infinite Mercy, God won’t let them go to hell.

[kidd]

Most “Obama Catholics” are, in fact, non-practicing Catholics.

They are either/both apathetic/ignorant. The MSM guides them, not the Holy Spirit.

[Theodore R.]

Catholics in many instances believe in “D” for Democrat over “C” for Catholic.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

“No, and it is so sad. As a convert to the Catholic faith, I see modern Catholics believing more like protestants everyday. They don’t want to believe as the Church teaches — as what God wants — they believe only in what they want. Modern Catholics believe that God changes with time, and if He doesn’t, then in His Infinite Mercy, God won’t let them go to hell.”

I am also a convert and so I believe in everything that the Church teaches.

And many times that is a huge difference between converts and cradle Catholics.

[ArrogantBustard]

If you want to let illegal immigration blind you to homegrown stupidity, that’s your problem.

I don’t share it.

[Rashputin]

That makes three of us. I can’t believe how often cradle Catholics don’t realize what a gift they were given.

Then again, it makes a lot of sense because it’s human nature to undervalue what you didn’t have to work for. It also shows that while Satan doesn’t have to life a finger to keep non-Catholics constantly compromising with the society at large he works overtime distorting and subverting Church teaching to convince Catholics to go along with the society.

Christ is doing with His Church the same thing He did with Gideon. Winnowing down the size of the army so there won’t be any doubt about Christ being the reason we win.

[Gay State Conservative]

If you want to let illegal immigration blind you to homegrown stupidity, that’s your problem.I don’t share it.

Read my response carefully.In it I acknowledge the existence of home grown *and* foreign born parasites.From the comment noted above you seem to only acknowledge the existence of the home grown variety.And *I've* got a problem?

[mia]

Now wait just a minute. Not all Catholic’s from these states voted for Obama. I certainly didn’t and I’m a Western New York Catholic. But, I certainly know a lot of Catholic’s who did. Totally breaks my heart.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Middletown, CT Catholics were victorious, Fr. John. Do they look like pro-lifers? The leader of this group is on the payroll of the Hartford, Archdiocese. She got a grant from Catholic Relief Services. The group is funded by CCHD. They defeated one of those right-wing prolifers, gaining a victory for a NARAL candidate. Free contraception. Social Justice. We cannot beat them. Not yet.

[MarkBsnr]

"Will Obama’s Catholics Realize What They Have Done?"

Before long such folks will be making sure they're no longer identified as Catholics because claiming to be Catholic will no longer be acceptable to the fascist nobility.

The aging liberals in my parish have not spoken to me since the election (heh heh heh). Possibly because of my outspoken intentions at Mass the last two weekends, which also involved the high praise of Bishop Jenky (of Peoria) and the letter that he made his priests read the Sunday before the election.

The aging hippies and social justice Marxists are dying off or leaving.

Before long such folks will be making sure they're no longer identified as Catholics because claiming to be Catholic will no longer be acceptable to the fascist nobility.

I'm having such fun with the 60s crowd. I teach fifth grade religious education as well as supplement intermediate grade religious education. I engage in rough and tumble theology. I will make a point or read a Scripture passage and point to one of them them and say "go". They are expected to comment or enlarge upon or give their opinion on that point. And why.

After about three classes, there are no shy kids. Exactly all of them give as good as they get.

I will do my best to educate Catholics in the Faith that was handed down to us from Christ. I will blow raspberries at the liberals who have damn near destroyed the American Catholic Church. Screw you, you profaners of the Faith.

God will not be mocked; nor will He be thwarted. Not in the long run anyway...

[Running On Empty]

That makes four of us.

Good post.

I agree

[Rashputin]

I don't even know who is on which side of things yet in my parish. There haven't been any really silly social justice homilies but there haven't been any homilies I'd call warning people of straying either. I'm still trying to figure out where various people stand on things. All the priests changed not long after Easter so I don't have any sense of what sort of folks they are, either.

I've had a lot of people chat a little bit before or after Mass, but so far haven't been invited to any groups or had anyone do much more than be generally friendly. So, while everyone is friendly, I have no idea who are the stand up Catholics and who are the Cafeteria sort as of yet. I'm trying to figure out which of the Bible study groups I might be able to join and will no doubt figure out more at that point.

As for leftover hippies, it's a good thing I don't know who fits into that group. I've had more than enough run ins with such folks over other things.

I agree, God is not mocked. This country has been sliding further and further into paganism while at the same time the vast majority of the population claims to be Christian and I believe the Lord is going to make it clear what He thinks of those who talk the talk and don't walk the walk.

Indeed, the history of the English Reformation is instructive. The bishops line up behind the king. Even the leaders of the pilgrim of grace believed the king. The professionals sold out, some because they were with Cranmer and some because they hope to turn the king. The American Church seems to be as confused. The Bishops are meeting in Baltimore and back to doing what they have done for years, pass resolutions on the economy and the like, rather than regroup to resist obama’s secularization of the social services. I am afraid that some will be co-opted by the President. I could not believe that Dolan would not use the simple expedient of inviting neither candidate to the Al Smith dinner.

[Rashputin]

I think Dolan knows he's got to do things differently and that everything has changed in a very basic way. On another level, he obviously still enamored of the idea that he can make some sort of gentleman's agreement with the Devil.

Whether intellectually knowing things have changed will overcome his desire to play the role of "Kim, little friend of all the world", remains to be seen.

[ArrogantBustard]

.And we know the mother tongue and birth nationality of these “Catholics”.

Do tell?

What "mother tongue" and "birth nationality" do you think "we" know?

If you wish not to be misunderstood, you should write clearly.

[ArrogantBustard]

Not all Catholic’s from these states voted for Obama.

Nor did all Protestants, or all Jews, or all Buddhists ...

Large chunks of the people who did vote for the Kenyan Antichrist are to be found in those states, though

[verga]

Who really gives a sh!t...these OBozo Catholic, arseholes will get what they deserve!!

And sadly we will also get what they deserve, at least in this world.

[Gay State Conservative]

For some people you have to submit a 30 page report.With charts and graphs.

[Scotswife]

Dear Father....where do you think many of these catholics got the notion that abortion is not an issue, but a “living wage” is?.....
These are the social justice folks.

They listen to sermons preached by social justice priests and nuns.
Who heard it from their social justice bishop.

[daniel1212]

I see Catholics believing more like protestants everyday

Or mainline Protestants becoming more like Rome, who fosters the nominalism you reject by treating even overtly liberal nominal members as members in life and in death, even notorious public sinners who are sppsd to be excommunicated (Ted K. etc.). Meanwhile those who most distance themselves from here are substantially more conservative.

[ArrogantBustard]

Here's what happened:

You made a snarky comment containing thinly veiled ethnic bigotry.

You got called out on it.

Now you're embarrassed.

And that's good. You should be.

Just drop it ... it's not going to get any better for you.

[Gay State Conservative]

Now you're embarrassed.And that's good.You should be.

First of all.."ArrogantBustard";interesting name,but your spelling needs work.OK,listen carefully...I'll use as few multisyllabic words as possible so you'll understand.

There are many,many people in this country getting government cash.Many deserve it because they worked for it and/or they're truly disabled.I,myself,fall into the "worked for it" category;Army pay as well as having paid into Social Security for 40+ years.As a result I get your basic Social Security retirement check.No military pension,however..I didn't serve nearly long enough.

However,more than a few..probably *many*...do *not* deserve it.Of that large group of people a very noticeable percentage are just as white,just as home grown and just as fluent in English as am I.But,OTOH,a noticeable percentage of these undeserving ones aren't nearly as home grown and not nearly as fluent in English as am I.These are the people...white,black,brown,yellow,red,Cleveland-born,Toronto-born,Tijuana-born...that I refer to as "parasites".You feel free to claim otherwise if you wish.You're entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts.

"Embarrassed"? Thanks for the chuckle."Bigotry"? Are you sure you're in the right place? Sounds like the DUmpsterKids might be more your style.

Have a nice life!
