well, Pew says that 45% of "Protestants/Other Christians" voted for 0 -- that's about 38% of the votes
so, the "Protestants/Other Christians" who voted for 0 put 0 in... without that 38%, he couldn't have won....
What I've been saying for years now is we need more than a letter or an opinion piece in the NYT. We need the church passing judgement on members that scoff at God! About a month before the election, just think, what if VP Biden was called on the carpet and told he must support life of lose the Sacraments? Pelosi? How about a few Kennedy's? How about some Hollywood idiots? We could get some attention then.
If Biden was told to shape up or he's out, what would he choose? We need this conversation. If Biden was excommunicated, what effect do you think that would have on someone in the cafeteria?
IMHO, I believe this is why God has put this right in front of everyone's nose. You are either with Him, or you are in rebellion. Being in open sin and still believing God has forgiven you is just wrong. If Pelosi can openly say the abortion question is still open right in front of the pope and nothing happens, I guess the abortion question is still open for her and millions of others. That right there should have merited some sanction from the church.
The fact that some Catholics voted for Obama is just a symptom of a much larger problem. How would the church react to find a priest was having an affair with the organist? Do you just let it slide because they are "catholic"? If you are in open sin and still attending church, should someone have the right to call you on it? Read about the Corinthian church with open sin there. Paul said to confront them and then throw them out to Satan if they don't repent.
