It was said above that NO REAL Catholic voted for Obama.

Pro-murder Democratic Roman Catholic politicians partake in the Eucarist. Since they are not forbidden, but welcome to the table they are "real Catholics." That was my point.

They are "real" in that specific sense, that they had not been denied Communion so far. They are not "real" in the sense that they do not logically follow through with the Catholic teaching, specifically on the points that abortion, euthanasia, human cloning and gay marriage are not matters that can be put to a vote. A Catholic who is real in the latter sense -- his faith is real in him, -- would submit his fallible judgement to the judgement of the Church.

Now, which Christian group would that be, that holds to the big lie that individual judgement in the area of interpreting the Scripture may supercede and even publicly protest the judgement of the Church?

If anyone does not accept as sacred and canonical the aforesaid books in their entirety and with all their parts, as they have been accustomed to be read in the Catholic Church and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate Edition, and knowingly and deliberately rejects the aforesaid traditions, let him be anathema.
