No, the time for the Vatican and the Catholic Church to speak out was a long time ago. I resent the fact that the “leaders” have waited until now. Maybe better late than never?
I waited in a long line to vote. I noticed a teacher working the lines with Obama pin proudly displayed on her jacket. She is a long time member of the Catholic church.
I asked her in front of everyone how she could support Obama and be a Catholic considering his views on abortion. She just smiled. Several people thanked me for speaking up.
They said if it were not for Catholics breaking ranks on abortion matters things may be different. They may be correct.
