OUR LADY OF DIVINE LOVE

A Roman shrine on the Via Ardeatina. The sanctuary to Mary and her Divine Child was built in the mid-sixteenth century, but the image itself dates from the early fourteenth. Pilgrims and native Romans by the thousands prayed there as World War II tension mounted. Fearful for their treasured mural, the population had it removed thirteen miles away from the active fighting to the Church of St. Ignatius. Pope Pius XII had Rome placed under the special protection of Our Lady of Divine Love during the war, and when hostilities ceased he declared her to have been the real savior of Rome. After the war the image was replaced in its original sanctuary.

Here’s another Catholic word of the day: Abortion.

WHY did nearly two-thirds of Catholic voters cast ballots for Obama?

One of his first acts was to rescind the Mexico City Agreement, which action made U.S. taxpayers fund abortions in other countries. He promised he’d do that; the “Catholics” voted for him anyway.

Obama once voted on a measure that would require that a physician attending a “failed” abortion (i.e. the kid was born alive despite the terrible odds) would be obligated to let the “fetus” die.

Catholic Charities just got $100 million from the government for the “Faith Based” task of hurricane relief. The trade-off? The Catholic Charities endorsed HR3200 which will have the effect of federal taxpayer funding of abortions, will require all private insurance plans (while such exist, which will not be for long) to provide “family planning” and “women’s health” services (which include abortion). Obama’s Freedom of “Choice” act would compel health care workers to participate in abortions notwithstanding their moral opposition to this procedure.

Some great religion we’ve got here, ain’t it?

Introibo ad altare Dei. Ad Deum qui laetificat juventutum meam...

But not much to my old age, it appears.

**WHY did nearly two-thirds of Catholic voters cast ballots for Obama?**

Your numbers are wrong. They first came out and said around 50 some percent voted for Obama. That number was then revised down to only 48%.

It still far too many.

In my opinion, REAL Catholics did not vote for Obama. Only CINOs — Catholics in Name Only — voted for him.

“In my opinion, REAL Catholics did not vote for Obama. Only CINOs — Catholics in Name Only — voted for him.”

Agreed!
