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.

"Don't forget that the Catholic Church supported Franco. True... they did. But the alternative was to support the Communists, who were bent on killing priests and destroying the Church."

How analogous to our nations present situation is that?

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

Why do liberals get away with substituting the word “felt” for “thought”?

They run around the world feeling instead of thinking and if these particular unthinking group of people would think they would discover that they are not Catholic, they haven’t consulted the Catechism of the Catholic Church in any way since 2nd grade and they would THINK that they have no right to scandalize a 2000 year old group Founded by.. . .

OK I’ll stop, but please do not say The Church Went along with blah blah blah Franco etc whether it’s true or not because that would imply to a thinking person like many of you Freepers, that these unthinking people represent the Catholic Church. They have no acqueintenceship with the Church.

such a joke. first of all, anybody can claim they are catholic, and then just goot and trash cathloicism.
its kind of like gun control. there’s a guy named john rosenthal who heads stophandguniolence. whenever he’s on the radio, he always makes a point to say he’s a registered gun owner. big deal, how disengenuous.
they’re all sneaks.
by the way, catholics for obama’s website asks, (no kidding)

is obama prolife? YES..... i kid you not
well, they have one thing in common with obama, pathalogcal liar.

Only because conservatives let them. I had a conversation with a liberal obama supporter who yammered about what she "felt" was true. I told her she was welcome to form her opinions base on "feelings," I would base mine on reality. She immediately got the message and shut up.

Since it is generally useless to try to communicate verbally with lower life forms I recommend this approach, to conserve energy amd not waste oxygen.

Do you really even have to ask that?

Republicans are not Fascists. The Democrats, as much as I don't like them, are not Communists openly killing clergy and taking over churches.

Your analogy doesn't hold.

The analogy is that neither side is desirable yet an outside force for good has to choose between the lesser of two evils...yet any compromise between good and evil is a victory for evil.

Our Priest didn’t tell us who to vote for, but it was made real clear without naming names was against life and religious freedom. This is not a political parish either, although it is pro-life.

Did an intern write this article? Could the author not even bother to ask why these Catholics decided that Obama’s policies were most in accordance with their beliefs? Could the author not probe even a slight bit and ask a why question?

...and don’t forget that the Catholic Church persecuted Galileo for agreeing with Copernicus...the church “couldn’t handle the truth!”

Shoulda waited until after the election to strip religious freedom away from the “social justice” mob and God from the Demonrat’s platform. This was a tad too much to spin with the God people.
