This is a very liberal group. It is also a CINO group by nature [CINO=Catholic-in-name-only].
Perhaps the key point of this article is to undermine the efforts of Catholics United to guarantee the defeat of as many Democrats in the November elections -- especially those who voted for ObamaCare
Left leaning? Is that what we're calling hard core Marxists now?
A far more accurate name for this group = ANTI-CATHOLICS UNITED
CongressCritters John Boccieri (OH-16), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03), Steve Driehaus (OH-01), and Tom Perriello (VA-05).
Seriously, the Catholic church ought to copyright the term “Catholic” to keep groups like this from hijacking it.
sick , Sick, SICK people !
Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03 race is considered a toss-up.
The others are all leaning Republican...
Maybe Tea Party should target these folks as well -- just to nail the lid on the coffin...
Please stop calling these vile people Catholics. They are most certainly NOT. There is no such thing as a pro life Democrat. Watch what Stupak did; they say anything to get elected, then volunteer or are coerced into voting the evil Democrat line. Democrats are evil because they support the killing of the unborn.
God is enlarging hell to receive them.
I am NOT trying to pick a fight or stir trouble - but as a non-Catholic looking in I have NO idea what “Catholic” does or does not mean anymore, in any cultural, doctrinal or philosophical sense.
this will become Exhibit #3,879 that NOBODY gets Excommunicated anymore
According to the article, all but Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03 are in trouble.
Her district takes in a lot of very rural Northwest PA.
I’m not so sure that she is not in trouble.
Good intel is always useful.
Catholics should trademark the work “Catholic.” It’s outrageous that people like Soros are using it.
Oops you said it first.
I don't blame you at all. You've been tormented, as we all have, by two different "engines" running in opposite directions: the engine of "doctrine" and the engine of "discipline."
Catholic doctrines ( as taught, for instance, in the Catechism) are correct and wholesome and intellectually splendid and blessedly coherent; Catholic discipline has been, overall, and for the term of my entire lifetime, wretched.
That means that anybody can say anything, no matter how distorted or mistaken, and not face even a nominal rebuke from those who have the authority to do so: I'm talking about bishops, the principal "supervisors" of the Church.
As a result, well-meaning people both within and outside of the Church are baffled or disgusted.
The Bishops are not using the authority which is rightly theirs,as the New Testament says, "to bind and to loose," to "correct, rebuke and encourage," to communicate where they can, and excommunicate where they must.
And where we do have good shepherds --- my own bishop, Richard Stika of Knoxville, is a good one; Benedict XVI the Bishop of Rome is a very good one --- they face the incessant opposition of the wolves within the fold: you could well say, "wolves in shepherds' clothing."
I have hope, because I am convinced that God still wears the crown in this Church--- though it's a crown of thorns. It's an active battle, and it's going on right now, a battle with no neutrals: every person will ultimately have to go beyond "observing": every person will have to get in there and fight.
I think Weasels United is perhaps a more appropriate and apt name. They are NOT Catholics.
Call themselves anything they want...but they ain’t Catholic...
