“Losing the Catholic Vote?”
One can hope, but as long as he is for social justice, what he calls “fairness” it is doubtful.

I can not see how you can be a Catholic and vote for a Democrat. I was at Mass yesterday and the priest called Obama argent. I almost stood up in church and cheered. If the whole Catholic Church voices their opinion against the Administration, it may be enough to rout the assclown out of office!

All the 0bama voters I know in the real world are either Protestant or unchurched.

Maybe if more of us stood up in church and cheered our priests would get even bolder.

Every Bishop should start formal, written, excommunication of every Catholic politician who supports this or fails to cause its repeal. The Church needs to get very serious NOW!

Not likely if most are like my mom.

The Catholic Church in America has been sewing this field for a long time by coddling CINO politicians. Looks like Obama finally “crossed the line” and it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. Of course don’t expect any coverage of this in the MSM.

Losing a lot of other votes from other religions.
50 percent of Catholics (Catholics make up about 22 percent of the U.S. population.) approve of his presidency, down from 67 percent in his first six months in office.
DOWN 17 POINTS
among non-Catholic Christians, who make up 55 percent of the U.S. population, had fallen from 58 percent to 43 percent.
DOWN 15 POINTS
Mormon respondents, who represent about two percent of U.S. adults, fell from 43 percent to 26 percent
About 78 percent of Muslim respondents approved of the Obama presidency, down eight percentage points from when the question was first asked. (86)
DOWN 8 POINTS
atheists, agnostics, and members of other non-Christian religions, who comprise about 13 percent of the U.S. population -- While about 75 percent of these respondents approved of President Obama at the start of his term, their approval declined to about 64 percent.
DOWN 11 POINTS
Jews were the religious group third likeliest to approve of President Obama, giving him 61 percent approval. This too is a decline: in January-June 2009, their approval rating of the president was 77 percent.
DOWN 16 POINTS
Overall, 48 percent of Americans approve of President Obamas job, down from 63 percent in the first months of his presidency. Gallup claims that its survey of over 276,000 adults claims an overall margin of error of plus or minus one percent.
DOWN 15 POINTS

One of those evangelicals in 2008 was my brother in law, who got brainwashed with all this Jim Wallis sojourners BS. I hope (and think) he’s since seen the light.

Please, all FReepers with the ability to clearly communicate a thought (most of you), write a Letter to the Editor of your local paper, talk to your neighbors, blog, anything to support Catholics in this fight.
There is a reason that Religion is in the FIRST Amendment to the Constitution, faith is that d*mn important for if a man is not free to believe, he is not free.

I think so. It appears this Pope has a courageous heart. And he is willing to stand against Obama. I commend all Catholics for standing up against this government.
