I waited in a long line to vote. I noticed a teacher working the lines with Obama pin proudly displayed on her jacket. She is a long time member of the Catholic church.
I asked her in front of everyone how she could support Obama and be a Catholic considering his views on abortion. She just smiled. Several people thanked me for speaking up.
They said if it were not for Catholics breaking ranks on abortion matters things may be different. They may be correct.
I think so, too. The Obama campaign was very clever in appointing Biden, who posed as a legitimate Catholic spokesman and was NOT slapped down by the bishops right away. If he had been excommunicated, the results of the election might have been different.
I think it is right to believe that if faithful Catholics had been properly catechized, and voted accordingly, Obama would not have won. I am so ashamed of and disappointed in the failures in the leadership in the Catholic Church.
