“Be sure to thank Catholics for Obama.
A heck of a lot of folks of other denominations voted for Obama, why should Catholics get the blame? I think any Catholic who voted for him was STOOPID, but I don’t think they were a majority of his voters.”
Catholic doctrine illustrates that the foundation of the Catholic faith is dedication to and belief in the sanctity of all human life. Therefore it is impossible to support infanticide (or those politicians who do) and maintain a spiritual connection with the Catholic Church.
Those who support abortion and claim to be catholic are doing just that.....claiming to be catholic.
I have attended Mass when the presiding priest made the dictates of Catholic doctrine regarding abortion very clear to the congregation and have seen individuals stand and leave. I pray for their souls, but the Catholic Church doesn’t need members who elect to pick and choose which tenets of the Catholic faith they wish to follow.
Personally, not unlike the Republican party, I believe the Catholic Church needs to demand that their members are true to the doctrine of the Church, or in regard to the Republican Party, that its members remain true to conservative ideals.
Anyone can say they are Catholic. It is how that person lives their life that determines whether or not they are Catholic.
EODGUY
I know Catholics who voted for Obama, simply because they were mad at the Republicans about the economy. They didn’t even CONSIDER how dangerous for unborn children he will be. They heard the letter from our Bishop, and the excellent sermons preached by our priests. They let their emotions, and fears about their financial future, fanned by the continual drumbeat of negativity by the MSM, get the best of them.
