There are several articles on how the DNC has attacked the Catholic Church -- something Mary Landrieu has done nothing about.
The first article is:
KISSLING BARES HER ANTI-CATHOLIC STRIPES; SHE FURTHER SHAMES THE DNC
Click Here for Catholic League Article
Additionally, the DNC highlight two anti-Catholic groups that "pose as sheep in wolf's clothing". The first is the Frances Kissling's CFFC, the other is Call to Action-Online.
Both of these can be found under:

Or just Click Here to show these and other links
The next link highlights the attack on the Vatican directly by Frances Kissling's CFFC through the "See Change" Web link.
Basically, the "Catholics for Free Choice" has been trying for about 4 years to get the Vatican kicked out of the United Nations (not as a voting nation, but from its observer status).
This was because the Vatican was able to work with a number of countries to block the agenda of Planned Parenthood, NARAL and CFFC at the United Nations on the issue of abortion (when Clinton was president).\
The link through the Pro-Life, Pro-Family group C-FAM describes the list of this. The link is:
http://www.c-fam.org/HolySee/index.html
Under that page is a link to the opposition -- with the CFFC apparently driving the "www.seechange.org" web site, and listed a number of times in the web link Austin Ruse and "www.c-fam.org" under the link:
This is under the link "Voices of Intolerance" or http://www.c-fam.org/HolySee/voicesofintolerance.html

Where has the voice of Senator Mary Landrieu when the Catholic Church is attacked by her Party?
Why is Senator Mary Landrieu silent on this issue? If she claims to be a Catholic she should be vocal about denying these links and fighting with the DNC to remove these harmful and harmful organizations to the Catholic Church

Though somewhat emotional, I have tried to make a case that as long Mary Landrieu is silent on these links on the DNC, she is opposing the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and is supporting anti-Catholic groups by her silence.
They should have fought back or helped the Jews escape.
Silence was a sign of their guilt.
So, apparently, it is with Mary Landrieu.
According to Websters Dictionary online:
magisterium : teaching authority especially of the Roman Catholic Church
CTA-USA Online (Call to Action -- US) is a good example of a group that is "anti-magisterium". This is also a supposedly "Catholic" group as is CFFC.
Think of the word "magistrate", meaning "judge", and then relate it to the "judgements of the Catholic Church".
Hope that helps.
Surely Ms Landrieu would not claim to be a practicing Catholic, surely she would admit she has lapsed, but has just not taken up any OTHER organized religion as yet???
Its the same here in Michigan with our new gov Jennifer Granholm who tries to claim she is a practicing Catholic (a Eucharistic Minister no less), but still votes and supports pro-death legislation.
I would not mind this becoming an issue with TV stations, radio stations, and newspapers BEFORE election day...
The abuse of this 'concoction' as you call is pretty bad. I would argue that there is no reason for her or any other lay person in her parish (about 20 miles from my home) to be a Eucharistic Minister, this is a wealthy parish with enough priests. The church is awful. It is one of those modern hotel lobby like buildings with plenty of bare walls and liturgy.
I miss New Orleans. My husband is a native and I lived there for 18 years before we moved up here to Michigan. I'll be watching what happens down there.
