Catholics are only telling one half of the story here.

Yes, the Catholics did help get marriage amendments passed.

BUT, Catholics also voted heavily for Obama and Obama’s future Supreme Court can override those state amendments in a single decision.

Yes, if they don’t repent they will all be damned to hell.

The Catholic Bishops started to find their voices in the past month ... It wasn't nearly enough.

They need to keep pounding on the pro-life issues constantly ... not wait until a month before the next election.

If it drives a few apostates out of the Church, and into open apostacy, so be it. The Church would be smaller, but speak with a clearer voice.

Gloat only.

You are missing the point, this is the trend and the direction that we need to go to retake the congress. Can you make comments in that direction.

As to your comment, the voter in CA and FL show a very strange pattern on how they voted irregardless of their church affiliation. They overwhelmingly supported Obummer, yet, they also supported the DOMA initiatives in large numbers.

My conclusion for this is that the vote for Obama is a revenge vote against Bush (extremely poor reason). And the voter, in general, is center right when it comes to social issues.

These voting patterns give me great hope for the future. We can unite and retake congress.

There are “catholics” and Catholics. If every American who had ever been baptized in any Protestant denomination was called a Protestant voter by the media, we would see similar voting patterns among that group, since it would cover a whole lot of “protestants” who never bothered to darken the door of church.

There is no Catholic vote. There is the churchgoing vote and the non-churchgoing vote, and voting patterns of Catholics who attend mass regularly are virtually indistinguishable from those of Protestants who attend services regularly.

The Supreme Court and abortion was one of the major factors of my vote. I cannot imagine anyone calling themselves Catholic or Christian and voting for bho.

I guess we won't talk about all the Protestants who voted for Obama and all the evangelicals who just stayed home.
