They should probably be deported somewhere else. Didn't David Duke find a home? If he did, they can!
No, they’re just saying, this is what we can support, and this is what we can’t. If Mitt is just about right according to what they’re saying, and Barry sucks, whose fault is that?
My pastor (in West Virginia) read excerpts from Bishop Jenky’s letter and some comments from Francis Cardinal George, tying them together with the First Reading and Gospel about the commandments. Very well done ... and these letters get a hearing far from the diocese in which they are written.
Sadly our Spineless Bishop DeLorenzo, only co-signed the letter from the bishopf Arlington in the Catholic Paper, he didn’t have the priests read anything in Mass.
Sell the cathedrals, put the taxes into the budget, and preach the Gospel. If that is what it takes, do it. My own congregation has had some talk of the same.
If they’re going to cr@p all over the church with thier anti-Christian policies, what makes them think the church won’t scrape it off and fling it back? ......”He who soweth spairingly, reapeth spairingly....”.
Headline says Bishops Electioneering...Wish the hell they were.. that bishops letter was hardly inflamatory ....I had members place a car top sign on their vehicle in the church parking lot facing the entrance posted at each of our 3 Sunday masses without getting pastors approval. Some of our “leading catholics” had demo-com yard signs at their residences, promoting every candidate. In fact one who serves as an usher busily chewed out the parrishoner who put that sign up....Parrish is in central Wisconsin LaCrosse diocease.
Won’t know if it did any good till count comes in.
To ask that question is to answer it.
Ak Kresta said today that while 50% of self-identified Catholics voted for Obama this time, this was down by 4% from 2008. 59% of practicing Catholics voted for Romney, which is up 4-5%. If the bishops presses their attack, the percent of the latter will continue to arise. But it suggests that in the past the Church has failed to look closely at the issues. The focus should be on religious liberty. That might make some liberal Catholic congressmen and senators tell the administration not to extend their mandate lest Catholics in their district begin to turn against them. If the local party seems them weakened, it might replace them with secularists.
