I’m going to start thinking about how to write a letter and to whom, the Vatican, Bishops, etc. to encourage that these deadbeat politicians have measures taken against them such as excommunication.
Sure, any of these politicians like Biden are not really receiving a worthy communion, being in a state of sin. Might as well, make it a concrete action.
The Bishops did a WONDERFUL job this year, arguing for the life issues. Unfortunately, for many this year, including, sadly, many Catholics, the economy took precedence. Many people were convinced that all of our economic woes were caused by the 8 years of President Bush. Never mind that the seeds of the mortgage crisis were sown by Carter in the late 70's, and that the deregulation pushed by Clinton (there was NO deregulation done under President Bush) made it easier for the questionable mortgages to be pawned off on Investment groups. Also, with Congress creating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it was made easier to 'privatize the profit, and socialize the risk', and that's what made folks like Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, and other big Dems, their fortunes. By increasing the mortgages insured, then sold, by those groups, they made money because the more mortgages sold, the bigger bonuses for the folks running the organizations.
Unfortunately, the Republicans didn't get that message out to the voters, and the Democrats capitalized on the soundbites, the repetition of which were trumpeted by the MSM, including "the worst economy in 50 years" , "maybe another Great Depression", "8 years of Bush have ruined the economy".
It was 'kitchen table' issues, and the non-existent rebuttals that cost the Republicans this election. Folks were thinking of their own families' welfare this year. They didn't give much of a thought to the ruin of the social fabric of this country that would be brought by unfettered Democrat policies.
