And Catholics sheepishly keep quiet and vote for men and women who promote evil.

54% of Catholics are so ignorant that they voted for Obama in the last election. I hope they’ve wised up since then.
 
You know in all my years of voting, the most time we spent at the Polls was around 45 mins, the last election was about 3 hours, people lined up outside and around the building, needless to say I knew who was going to win, I almost went home without voting.
Tell you the truth, I’m really worried about this election.:o
 
To you politicians who promote non-Catholic values, I will not vote for you just so your opponent will not get into office. If you do not represent me, you do not have my vote. I don’t want your government money. I don’t want your ideas of equality, fairness, and justice. I don’t want your health care. I am not a prostitute who sells my vote for temporal benefits.

This speaks my mind towards the idea of how important “electability” is 👍 We make people “electable” through our votes.

We should take a hint from Ron Paul’s supporters in this regard.
 
I absolutely agree with Father!

That said, I think we should clarify a possible disingenuity on his part. He states that he, making only $20,000 per year, isn’t jealous of wealth. That’s good. None of us should be, regardless of how much or how little we make. Let’s remember, however, that most priests receive a salary…AND have a housing allowance or live in a rectory; some diocese also mandate a utilities allowance for those who don’t live on church property, as well as a food allowance, car allowance, etc. I can recall a priest saying that his only outlay really was his clothing. Are they worth it? Certainly. Is this priest right to call these things to our mind? Certainly! Father should, however, acknowledge that his concerns (alone, with no dependents of which we are aware) might be different from those of a little family living on about the same amount without the perks. Should issues of life outweigh issues of economic well-being for that little family? Certainly…but we need to acknowledge and applaud their concienctious struggle to get by on the same amount as Father is getting by on alone.

Ahhhh…that means you know NOTHING about the Lost Tribes of Israel. :confused:

Well, don’t worry, nobody else does either, but that hasn’t stopped speculation that this group or that group may be descended from one of the Lost Tribes. 😃

So, perhaps, Obama might be descended from one of the Lost Tribes, even if he doesn’t know it.:rolleyes:

I see your point. But at the same time those struggling with a small family can qualify for all sorts of similar perks. The government pays for housing (including subsidized rent in nice neighborhoods), provides food, provides medicine and health care, and even provides cell phones, cable TV and internet.

It has gotten to the point in America where the lower end of the working class are fools. They should stop working and they could live a better life.

How many times have our Bishops endorsed obamacare only to have it bite them, and take so many faulty stances and then act suprised when a snake acts like a snake.

👍 The motto of the øbama administration could more accurately be described as, “Abortion then, abortion now, abortion always.”
