Denver, Colo., Nov 1, 2012 / 04:03 am (CNA).- The Obama campaign attempted to schedule a rally-like event on a Catholic university campus in the key swing state of Colorado before settling on a dialogue with a co-chair of Catholics for Obama.

“Their original intent was to have more of a rally element to it,” said Paul Alexander, director of Regis University's Institute for the Common Good, which hosted the event.

“We just felt we couldn’t do a rally, but we felt a healthy dialogue among Catholics was important.”

About 45 people attended the Oct. 25 dialogue and small group discussion with Catholics for Obama national co-chair Nicholas P. Cafardi, a law professor and dean emeritus of Duquesne University School of Law.

How many were Catholics protesting misappropriation of the name?

Don't tell me. They discussed why Sandy Fluke needed so many condoms paid for by the taxpayers. This didn't go over in Reno, Nevada either.

Sounds like there are 45 people in Colorado who need to go to Confession.

Romney has to win. If Catholics and other Christians thought Hussein was bad when he thought he had some support from them, they will see evil unleashed if he gets a second term. Praise God it’s looking highly unlikely.

"God will not be mocked."

Don't forget that the Catholic Church supported Franco.

“Catholics for Obama” is the ultimate oxymoron, with the accent on “moron.” Your church is against contraception but you’re fine with partial birth abortion. And your beloved president is okay with snuffing out the life of a baby who was fortunate enough to dodge the abortionist’s scissors and make it out of the birth canal alive.

at the end of 5:30 mass this evening the priest, who’s given many anti-obama sermons over the summer without naming obama himself, said “as far as the election- may the best man win” which drew a lot of laughs as everyone knows who he’s voting for....

leaving mass their were people outside imploring those exiting church to “vote pro-life” and handing out cards with the names of the candidates and their stance on abortion...

the woman went to hand me one and i said “i don’t need one- i know whom i’m voting for”...

she replied, “i hope you’re pro-life”..

i responded, “i’m anti-liberal; its the same thing”...

as i’m crossing the street she yelled “good to hear!”...

True... they did. But the alternative was to support the Communists, who were bent on killing priests and destroying the Church.

Unfortunately there was an event across town (Catholics Against the Pope) that conflicted with this one. Otherwise, a few more would have surely shown up.
