Slowly but surely, the Catholic powers that be are developing some spine.

A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama

Call me stunned. Finally.

There is hope.

[xmission]

Awesome. About time.

Now excommunicate Kerry, Kennedy and Pelosi openly...

[Ann Archy]

WOW!!!! I was SHOCKED at first......but the man is RIGHT!

[xmission]

Wish it had been said before the election.

[Natural Law]

Unfortunately the letter to parishioners was two weeks too late!

[Campion]

Knowing this priest and his parish, I can assure you that they’d heard it before. St. Mary’s Greenville is a special place, and he’s a special priest.

Obama supporters already worship at the altar of the Messiah so what’s their problem?

He may very well have warned parishoners before the election that their vote would have consequences. There’s no way that story would have been reported, though. The msm needed the CINO vote to go to 0bama too badly.

This guy has courage...Congrats to him.

[SERKIT]

Barrack “Intrinsic Evil” Obama. Has a certain ring to it....

[Emperor Palpatine]

Let the excommunications begin!

[visualops]

Naw... St. Mary’s isn’t like that. We have several conservative traditional churches up here, and they are growing growing growing.
Most of the parishes up here take an active role in the pro-life movement.
For a few weeks up to the election, our church had a “graveyard” of crosses and several signs saying “vote pro-life” at the entrance driveway, which is on a fairly busy road. You couldn’t miss it.

This guy will cave, and his bishop will tell him to. Maybe I’m cynical, but this guy will drive parishioners out of the church and the hierarchy won’t stand for that or the decrease in cash flow that will follow them leaving.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Its nice to know there’s still a few Catholics left in the priesthood and hierarchy.
