Also remember that REAL Catholics did not vote for Obama, only CINOs — Catholics in Name Only — vooted for him. In supporting abortion, they are sinning and need to go to Confession before they can receive Communion.
Basically, they excommunicated themselves.
I get so tired of the self-excommunication line: People who see nothing wrong with abortion and see nothing wrong with calling themselves Catholic on top of it certainly see nothing wrong in receiving communion without benefit of confession.
They will NOT "excommunicate themselves" for the simple reason that those in authority ALSO do not bother exercising their moral authority by excommunicating those Catholics who publicly advocate abortion.
Really, why Should we expect more from those in the pew than from those in the heirarchy?
The only relevant poll on Catholic voting that I have seen so far was this one: 79% of Catholics who attend Mass (ie “actual Catholics”) voted for McCain-Palin.
