But when you say 65% of CATHOLICS voted for Obama, you would likely have to say that 65% (or whatever %) of protestants voted for Obama as well, if you’re counting all the non-religious folks who demarcate themselves as something. As long as you’re willing to acknowledge that this is not a “Catholic only” thing.
IMHO, now that the Church has "gone rouge", they want THEIR issues discussed from the pulpit. I understand there are Protestant denominations that are doing the same thing, but they are also the same denominations that are dwindling and accepting deviant behavior in their ranks. I don't want my church to start accepting homosexuals as priests or abortion as a woman's right. If you'll notice, the Anglicans are looking to come "home" because their denomination has pretty much abandoned God. If we vote for Dems to get more welfare for the poor, you must also accept the baggage that comes with it, like being charged with "Hate Speech" if you preach Genesis, or Catholic hospitals being closed because they won't do abortions, or accept homosexual adoption. I was taught that Jesus wanted His CHURCH to help the poor, not the government. That came with preaching on Sodom being destroyed for their sexual sin and abortion is MURDER.
People, this is WAR! It has been going on since Jesus walked the Earth. If your denomination voted for Obama, no matter what it is, something is being misstated from the pulpit. I want the Truth preached to me, not propaganda. These usurpers, like Pelosi, Biden, or Kerry, are now in the majority. The Church continues to do nothing and say very little. I find it difficult to believe that more Church officials can't seem to find their voices on these subjects. The Obama vote should be a canary in the coal mine. Ignore it at your own peril.
Jesus is not a joke to me. He is the center of my life. I won't just ignore what is happening and keep quiet if it may embarrass the Catholic Church. I'm sure the Anglicans, Lutherans, and Episcopalians, were just as dedicated as their denominations went down the path to apostasy. The Catholic Church has embarrassed itself in the past and I feel another big one coming soon if we can't stop this slide.
Fair enough!
