I asked this question on another thread and didn’t really receive an answer. So, I’ll ask again..
If for some reason Obama drops this issue, do you think all will be forgiven in November?
I’m not talking about the conservative Catholics that reside at FR..but what about the more liberal members of the church that maybe up in arms now?
Tis, a good question and I do not know the answer. One would think the bottle has been opened and the genie is out. In a normal world it could not be put back in but this is fair from a normal world.
This said there are many more things that will occur between now and the elections, so much that elections could be postponed? Greece default, Euro collapses, Israel / Iran, US - Syria friendly nations against Syria, Terror attack, US dollar failure (might be longer than a year, could be 3 or 4), Debt ceiling again...
To many factors but I would say they all work against O except the postponement of elections if that were to occur.
Liberal Catholics will still support him. The faith of liberal Catholics is in politics and “social justice”.
Barnum noted that there was a sucker born every minute and I doubt the Church is immune to that principle. Of course there will be some who will forgive and forget but somehow I think there will be just as many who will remind them of Obama’s previous duplicity. In the end I believe he will suffer a net loss of voters.
