Anyway the church has no business in politics…
child molesters are felons….AND Catholics own that label.

Screw the Catholic Church. I’ll go to a service and eat their effing cracker. It’s time to start giving this superstitious nonsense the scorn and contempt it deserves.

Hmmmm sounds like a couple of ex-catholics to me. hehehe

Good, finally speaking up. We don’t need those pro-murder democrats taking the Body of Christ into their filthy mouths.
The priests haven’t cornered the market on pedophilia, their is a higher percentage of molestors in your teachers…
JC we don’t want your kind in the church!!!

Good to see the Catholic church is getting their mojo back by standing strong for life..The Evangelicals, need to seek God, many have lost their way.

There are two types of Catholics: 1) The Real Catholics who follow and obey the teachings of the church and make them a part of how they live. 2) The Cafeteria Catholics who look at their religion as one who is in a cafeteria line. They pick and choose what they like about church teachings and pass on the teachings they don’t like. The Cafeteria Catholics are not pleasing God, they are only fooling themselves. They should not go to church at all, never mind receive communion. If you don’t believe in the teachings of your church, leave it and start your own. You could call it the church of abortion, or the church of death to the unborn, or the church of obama. The only problem with these new world churches is, they may seem trendy with their embrace of worldly beliefs, but they will not lead a single person to Heaven!

Yes, I agree with the majority of comments. It is time, only a little too late, for the Catholic church to stand up for its beliefs. I see that my Diocese newspaper has an article, finally, on its abortion concerns. There is so much at stake, if the Catholic church is not pro-life, it is nothing.

Slavery was once legal–it was an immoral law at one time.
The Holocaust of World War II was a horribly intrinsic evil.
Abortion is legal–but it too is a horribly intrinsic evil.
Perhaps if enough people see the graphic pictures of a violently ripped apart aborted baby, like we say the pictures of the Holocaust victims, and photos of the slaves who were lynched to death, perhaps then AMERICA WILL WAKE UP AND END THESE HEINOUS ABORTION LAWS!

The only way JUST way to fight is to sign the petition to BLOCK OBAMA’S ABORTION LEGISLATION BEFORE INAUGURATION DAY! Go to:

Good job. Is time someone practiced what they preached.

george   November 14th, 2008 - 9:17 am

By the way, the Priest did not say those that voted for Obama couldn’t ever take Communion, but rather, only after they repented. I voted my conscience and wrote in Alan Keyes, a TRUE believer in the evil of abortion.

Hey…I make good money relieving those sinners of the burden of their reckless sexual ways.

Kenny C   November 14th, 2008 - 10:12 am

How can you repent for something that you voted for that going to last for at least 4 years. My guest is that you’ll have to live with it for that period of time, repent or no repent.
People are going to have to take voting serious.
I’m I allowed to go shoot those lousy creeps that ruined our economy and then say I repent. If so somebody please lend me a gun.

Praise the Lord and pass the alter boy!   November 14th, 2008 - 10:13 am

While we are all repenting maybe you should do the same, fat boy. It doesn’t look like you have missed too many meals in a world filled with hunger. I guess St. Francis is no longer in vogue. Since you like meddling in politics, maybe it’s time to examine your tax exempt status.

R.J.   November 14th, 2008 - 10:20 am

This is the same church that used to burn people at the stake for thinking the world was round instead of flat. This is the same church that killed millions of Muslims and Jews for not believing in Jesus, and the Catholic church as the supreme ruler of the world. This is the same church that denies their priests to be married, but protects them when they have sex with little boys. The Catholic church Koolaid may not be the same as Jim Jones, but it’s just as deadly.

Pandoraha   November 14th, 2008 - 10:41 am

Wow, A Priest with the courage of his convictions! He’s not speaking against Obama. He’s speaking against Catholics who don’t follow the rules of their Church. They are phony idiots who just take up space. They don’t help themselves by coming to Church.

GET OUT AND START YOUR OWN FAUX CHURCH. YOU GIVE CATHOLICS A BAD NAME.

VoiceofReason   November 14th, 2008 - 1:14 pm

Yeah – Obama is pro-choice, meaning he believes in the right of women to choose. Doesn’t the Catholic Church call that free will? Wasn’t free will a gift from the almighty himself? What happened to judge not lest ye be judged. Catholics, in keeping with their religion, should not choose abortion, but who gives you the right to tell non-catholics how to live their lives. God certainly does not.
When/if the rapture ever comes, there will be plenty of Catholics sitting around on Earth wondering why there still here. Probably plenty of priests too.

Fat, bald, dumb, and loving it!   November 14th, 2008 - 1:22 pm

If this self righteous dope would spend more time reaching out to pregnant women instead of judging others (wasn’t Christ against that?), perhaps there would be fewer abortions.

JamesFaulk   November 14th, 2008 - 2:16 pm

“R.J” wrote the only post here that makes any sense.

The WORLD is getting sick and tired of the ‘chosen ones’ who are the REAL evil here.

In their frightened brainwashed behavior, the lunatic righties and fundies have once again proven they are a species unto themselves, and soon to be extinct.

I swear, Half of America seems to be made up of racist inbreds.

I have noticed alot of them seem to be regulars
on Breitbart forums.

Lance Athanasius   November 14th, 2008 - 2:21 pm

RJ, Voice of Reason, Fat & dumb…. Please don’t talk theology, it only shows how ignorant you are. I am not a roman catholic and I have my doctrinal disagreements with the RC church, but you guys are stupid. No, Jesus was not against judging, he was against unrighteous judging. Judge by a high standard. Free will? Yes God gave us free will and it resulted in the Fall of mankind. Jesus redeems us from the fall. When catholics are right I support them. On this issue they are not only right, but righteous. If you are in favor of killing babies then you need to repent before taking communion. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate in the entire world. He is sick. He voted to not allow medical treatment for children who survived an abortion. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Ok here is a youtube video showing how these babies are killed, destroyed. Is this good or evil?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THS2zZ4m260

This is a long video, but it is chilling to see the ways these babies are killed. It covers Infanticide and The Born Alive Infants Protection Act?

The Diocese and the Church have condemned Father Newman’s actions and statements. By attaching stipulations for the sacraments based on political affiliations Newman violated both Church and Federal laws. The sad thing is here, is how anti-American all of this turns out to be. The GOP has done nothing to slow or stop abortion is the 6 years that they controlled every branch of government. The partial birth abortion ban of 2003, ended a procedure that only accounted for .014% of all abortions, and in no way reduced the number of abortions.

The fact is the GOP is never going stop abortion, it’s an easy way for them to garner votes and distract from real issues. Like why the U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation in the world (expect Lativa — they passes u.s. in 2006). The hypocrisy of those who claim to care about babies, but think that a pre-natal care system that can boast “Better than Latvia” is good enough for the U.S. is overwhelming.

Moreover, it is the job of the Church to stop abortion. As challenge after challenge has demonstrated, we live in free society that allows people the freedom to make mistakes and sin. Abortion is Constitutional.

It is not the job of the U.S. Government to legislate morality. And even if were, in the sum of moral choices Barack Obama was for the vast majority of Catholics the clear moral choice.

As a practicing catholic I find the comments on this board interesting. Separation of church and state comes to mind.

So if we support a candidate that wont legislate our churches beliefs we are sinners? Last time I checked killing adults is a sin too. The Iraq war, Execution, and torture dont seem to fit the teachings of Christ either.

Whether or not you support a woman right to chose a few points
neither political party has done anything about this topic.

Republicans held a majority for six years and did nothing to end a womans right to choose. Why do you think that is? Perhaps its just rhetoric? Any candidate or party that claims to be against the right to choose and does nothing is no better or worse than those wont legislate against it.

The catholic church is against divorce, the death penalty and war. McCain was divorced and is for the death penalty and supports the war.

Should we confess if we voted for him?

The Catholic church may as well turn out the lights and lock the doors. Sin in its camp has negated its authority. No one takes it seriously anymore. It is weak and refuses to fix the problems it has created. It has devastated so many people and families and refuses to man up and repent. It will live on the past until the dinosaurs that run it roll over and bury themselves in there own pile of dung they have left behind.
