As a PRACTICING Catholic, these responses from other "Catholics" make my head explode. Didn't they ever notice anything that Obama ever said or did? Were they just figuring that he couldn't be that bad because he seems like a nice guy? Just like the so called conservative pundits (like Noonan and Will) that turned to Obama, these are not morally grounded people. They are CINO's. It doesn't help that there is a lack of moral clarity from some Catholic clergy. I do think that the leadership is starting to trend more conservative as Popes JPII and Benedict have been seating new bishops. I am sad to lose Bishop Dolan to New York, but he will be an eloquent beacon of moral clarity for the whole county as the Bishop in NY. May the Lord deliver us from the punishment we have brought upon ourselves these days!

Every single Catholic and Jew I know is hard core Democrat and voted for Zero. Some have already admitted they made a mistake. In fact, the most vocal Zero supporter was the first one to admit to me, he screwed up.

That was his actual words. I was truly shocked as he was a hard core Republican-hater since forever. I doubt he will ever become a Republican, but Zero is losing support fast from even moonbats.

I’m also a practicing Catholic and I think the leadership around here (Kansas City area) was very clear about their preference in the last election (without actually crossing the line and endorsing specific candidates). In his homily each Sunday, our parish priest often talked about the moral obligations of Catholics with regard to protecting life and pro-life versus pro-choice candidates. It was fun to watch some of the people in church shift around in the pews or stare at their hands. Their discomfort with the subject (and likely choice in the election) seemed pretty clear to me. Our archdiocese newspaper (The Leaven) also featured a rather lengthy discussion of the subject. Around here, the practicing Catholics who voted for Obama must have chosen to ignore the clear moral direction provided by the church leadership.
