9. If he endorses from the pulpit.
In live in CA, and yesterday I walked by a chuch that had a Yes on Prop. 8 (the "gay marriage" prop). Gonna have some fun tomorrow. Gonna take the sign into their office and ask if they are tax exempt. If they say yes I am gonna walk out with the sign. Of course all this will be videotaped.

2. Single-issues catholics are an embarrassment to there religion. And,

5. war?
I'm pretty sure the bible says
"Blessed are the warriors for they will be called sons of god"

You need the new RepbuliCON Bible.

another favorite

Mark 12:17 "...And Jesus answering said unto them,
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's,but be sure
you itemize your deductions and hide as much income as possible
And they marveled at him"

3. One priest does not equal the Church
For every one of him there is big majority of other clerics who on the whole range of issues support Obama. The bishops are generally more wary of abusing the misconception many Catholics have of the solitary clerical position and realize that such abuses deteriorate solidarity on moral issues in politics completely. If someone wants to compare body counts based on one's vote one might quickly realize that the pure moral ground does not exist whatsoever except as a convenient ultra conservative red meat fancy. Only a liberal Democrat polity will reduce abortions, avoid another ineffective and amoral punishment system and the sufferings that surround life issues as a whole.

8. So, we Catholics are supposed to ignore the other tenets of our Faith ...
giving aid and comfort to "the least of us" in favor of a WARMONGERING man for our President.

This Catholic will vote for Obama/Biden ticket with a clear conscious.

The NUMBER of abortions conducted will be much fewer when the "entire issue" of women's health is fully addressed. :thumbsup:
