Folks, I tell you America is in her last days.I see where Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy and those other liberals like Kerry are coming out against the Catholic Church and in effect all religions and morals and in effect threatening them in my opinion.
Americas government through the Liberal establishment is being overthrown. We have turned from a God fearing country toward a Communist inspired country and are headed toward a dictatorship.
The liberals have taken over most of the systems of communication in this country and the educational system. Once they get their control of the US Supreme Court America is doomed.
America needs to awaken or we are in the last days before our government is overthrown.

In a way, I'm almost glad.

Look, Catholics weren't slaves, but we do have a history in this country (No Irish, Catholics Need Not Apply, etc.). Yet somehow, like the black family, we seemed stronger while oppressed, y'know?

I mean, no RC in good conscience says they're sinless, but we at least tried, it seems to me, prior to being 'accepted' in the sixties (of course, we were accepted on the grounds that we stop being Catholic).

Now, there are what, a dozen or so 'catholic' politicians in the Senate (most, but not all, democrats) who call themselves Roman Catholic, but fervently support abortion, gay marriage, etc.

Maybe it's time the Bishops got the message that, no, your friends in a certain political party are NOT REALLY your friends, nor do they support your church's teachings. Maybe they'll get the message that 'monkey see, monkey do,' still applies to many of their flock, and when the church says adultery and divorce are bad, but the shepherds of the flock (the bishops) support and give special treatment to Clintons and Kennedys... well, some confusion might occur.

Of course, this is simply, MHO.
