I was disappointed with the lack of discussion in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and our parish.

Our religious leaders do not want to speak out on moral issues affecting our community. It seems that they don’t want to chase people away from attending church and contributing.

Our pastor and the parish council chair both signed recall petitions against our Wisconsin governor.

There seems to be a lot of rationalization in accepting the Liberal positions and politicans that are against church teachings.

I am very frustrated that 50% of Catholics voted for the pro-abortion Obama and Biden Ticket. I firmly believe that this is in part a failure of our Bishops to take action against so-called Catholic politicians who suppport anti-Catholic positions. A strong action against those CINOs would send a very strong lesson to the Catholic faithful that the Church is no longer a cafeteria where you can pick what you believe.

It occurs to me that the Catholics who attend Mass regularly are also the ones that donate regularly to the Church. Since the Bishops seem to want to ignore the "Catholic" politicians who claim to be Catholic but support non-Catholic positions, we faithful Catholics should tell the Bishops, "no more money until you start formally excommunicating these heretics."

The priest at my parents' parish voted for Obama because of his help for the poor! If the priests don't understand the significance of the difference on the issues of social welfare and abortion, how can the laity? These pro-abort Catholic politicians are creating scandal and confusion in the Church and the Bishops are to cowardly to deal with it.

I think a national movement is in order. The pocket book is the one area that gets everyone's attention. I think Catholics in large numbers should write a letter to their bishops and tell him you are no longer donating to the Church until they take real action. What do you think?
