Amen to what this Father said! šŸ‘

He sounded like St. John the Baptist!

ā€˜Wake Up, Catholicsā€™, indeed!

Should also read: Priest to Catholic Bishops: Stop Being Stupidā€¦

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.

They did the same thing when they funded ACORN. Like, I couldnā€™t believe that they are so dense that they didnā€™t suspect that ACORN was a communist [small ā€œcā€] organization and that since the Democrats were so heavy into it that it was also funding abortions. :ouch:
 
I pray that some of the Obama voting Catholics will listen to this Priest!
 
For us Catholics, the basic issues are: Life from conception to natural death, that is, protection of the unborn, those with life, and those who are sick; protection of new life in its most nascent form, the embryo; protection from cloning to farm body parts; protection from sexual deviance in the form of pederasty, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, prostitution.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not see this as a declaration that Catholics must accept whatever random GOP candidate rises to the surface.

Certainly not. We just should not accept the most ardently pro-abortion candidate availableā€“for example, our current president.

I certainly wouldnā€™t vote for Obama, but I donā€™t think I have to be satisfied with what the other side is offering either, because Iā€™m not. šŸ‘

Update on 14 January: The 15 January issue of OUR SUNDAY VISITOR weekly newspaper arrived in my mailbox this afternoon. Much of the issue was devoted to the topic of abortion. Here is a linkā€¦which I hope still worksā€¦to a page concerning the role of abortion in next yearā€™s election.

Thanks for the link. I canā€™t help but quote one line:
ā€œIn any case, administration support for abortion under Obama has been aggressive and unapologetic.ā€

I know where youā€™re coming from. Neither side of the isle is to be trusted. That said, I do believe our moral obligation is to vote pro life. I believe it to be the #1 priority. If we have no respect for human life in the womb, or at the end of life, we have NO civil rights policy in place. The culture of death that we have in place now will definitely be the ruination not only of this country, but of the world.

Even though President Bush was pro life, he really did zip to stop the killing. He might have set the tone, and therefore put the brakes on somewhat and thus slow it down, but he actually did nothing. I would fully expect another Republican to do the same.

But will they? Sometimes I think the two hardest substances in the universe are human stubbornness and self centeredness.

Luke 16:31 ā€œHe said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.ā€
 
I see the choice presented as a poor one.

Neither GOP nor Democrat have stopped abortion.

Neither have ended the unjust wars.

Neither have helped the poor, the elderly or the sick.

If there were ever a politician that stood for most of what the Vatican has stated as its position, I doubt the partisan supporters of the other side would vote for that person.

Be that person Reublican or Democrat.

I am afraid you might be correct. First of all, they would never make it very far into the primaries unless they had gobs of money. Neither side of the isle would support such a person. Itā€™s a very sad situation we have in Washington. I donā€™t hold much esteem for politicians of either side. They are corrupt and unethical to the core, be they Democrats or Republicans. I hate to be so cynical, but hey, you gotta call a spade a spade.

Sad, but true.

Not just sad, but disturbing!

Neither have ended the unjust wars.

Well, being unjust may be an opinion, but I agree that it has gone on waaay too long.

Neither have helped the poor, the elderly or the sick.

I donā€™t agree with thisā€¦mostly. There are many services in place to help these groups, alas some fall through the cracks and more can always be done. But this statement implies nothing is done and thatā€™s not really accurate.

Your last statement I agree with 100%. I hate voting for the lesser of evils, not that they are evil, but you know what I am getting atā€¦
 
First of all, thank God for this priest. But We The People should not just look at leaders, secular or religious, as the final say. WE are to listen to both and then vote. I did not vote for Obama. I did not vote for other things that stood against Church teaching. No. I donā€™t want any religion forced on the people, but I will vote for what is right.

Corruption in politics was not invented last week. I will review the platforms of the big two and others. Iā€™ll vote according to the well reasoned principles of the Catholic Church.

Pray. Have hope.

Peace,
Ed

His tribe would increase - except Obama supports and defends those that ā€œchooseā€ to ensure that it does not šŸ˜¦ ā€¦this is the legacy of the racist policies perpetuated by the heirs of Margaret Sanger - to which Obama has aligned himself
