Could Obama awoken a sleeping giant?

“Losing the Catholic Vote?”

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

I hope every single Catholic that voted for this fraud is sorry now....

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!

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!

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.

This notion that's peddled by the religious right - that they are oppressed is not true. Sometimes it's a cynical ploy to move their agenda ahead. The classic example being that somehow secularists are trying to eliminate Christmas, which strikes me as some kind of manufactured controversy.

This is only the beginning. Wait until HHS tries to force Catholic hospitals and facilities into performing abortions under the threat of withdrawing Medicare and Medicaid funding.

Losing the Catholic Vote?(sic)

Correction: Losing the "Catholic Vote"?

Liebau and her headline editor should know better.

I was wondering why last Sunday the homely seemed political. The priest kept saying that Hope and Change was not the change promised and that it was an empty promise. It was the most political I have ever heard in my local church. They tactfully supported Obama in 2008 with all the promises of a more just world and helping the poor. I guess the church “leaders” finally figured out what we already knew Obama is a false prophet.
