As a lifeling Catholic I have never seen a priest or anyone in the hierarchy making recomendations on anything in an election, until this year. Culturally, priests are not allowed to run for office, and are not encouraged to be political. But this time, it is different.
Liberal Catholics have lost their cover, they can't hide. They used to be able to split hairs like Kennedy, but that can't be done anymore. We have a ways to go as far as organizing and being more effective like the Tea Party, but the democrats have lost us. 2008 was the highest level of support they will get from us from now on, and it is down hill from there.
i’m in NY and they’ve spoken about this without naming names...my sister in law is in Florida...she told me her parish priest told everyone the only way to stop this (forcing priests to perform gay marriage, free contraceptives at Catholic churches, taxpayer funded abortion, etc) is to vote obummer out of office...
