Some Catholics Disappointed in Obama

He garnered the majority of Catholic votes in the 2008 election, but a number of Catholic groups now say President Obama is showing a complete lack of regard for their beliefs. They count his decisions to lift restrictions on abortion and stem cell research among the most offensive. "As far as the Catholic church goes, there's no bigger priority for Catholics than human dignity and human life," said Cathy Ruse, senior fellow at the Family Research Council said. "And the Obama administration has just been an assault on those values again and again in just two months."

I have some advice for anybody who voted for 0bama and doesn’t like anything he has done or will do while he is in office: DON’T EVER VOTE AGAIN! YOU AREN’T NEARLY SMART ENOUGH TO VOTE! HE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THOSE OF US WHO ARE SMART ENOUGH TO VOTE EXPECTED HE WOULD DO! THAT IS WHY WE ALL VOTED AGAINST HIM!

As a PRACTICING Catholic, these responses from other "Catholics" make my head explode. Didn't they ever notice anything that Obama ever said or did? Were they just figuring that he couldn't be that bad because he seems like a nice guy? Just like the so called conservative pundits (like Noonan and Will) that turned to Obama, these are not morally grounded people. They are CINO's. It doesn't help that there is a lack of moral clarity from some Catholic clergy. I do think that the leadership is starting to trend more conservative as Popes JPII and Benedict have been seating new bishops. I am sad to lose Bishop Dolan to New York, but he will be an eloquent beacon of moral clarity for the whole county as the Bishop in NY. May the Lord deliver us from the punishment we have brought upon ourselves these days!

That is funding from the CCHD, not the Catholic Church.

Here’s your link and apparently, it was $7.8 million before finally wising up after the freaking election.

I’m outraged at their outrage! I hope these “misled” Obama voters, especially feel the pinch in their pockets...

Those that profess faith and didn’t know he was the most pro abortion candidate, should go to hell for their vote.

On his way to a decisive victory, Barack Obama won a majority of the nation’s Catholic voters, a closely watched swing group that has sided with the winner in nine of the last 10 presidential elections.

Sad, but it seems to be true!

Every single Catholic and Jew I know is hard core Democrat and voted for Zero. Some have already admitted they made a mistake. In fact, the most vocal Zero supporter was the first one to admit to me, he screwed up.

That was his actual words. I was truly shocked as he was a hard core Republican-hater since forever. I doubt he will ever become a Republican, but Zero is losing support fast from even moonbats.

OK they have to be complete idiots to be surprised by his stance on life?

Where were these people?

Our priest reminded us of our voting obligations in his homily the Sunday before the election. Only about 1/2 the congregation applauded. Very telling!

(We don’t usually applaud the homily but were moved to do so by his strong endorsement of life).

The same is true of “Catholics for Choice.”

Make the distinction between the work of “the Catholic Church” and “Catholics.”

It seems you've made friends with quite a few idiots.

Try harder.

These rosary-rattling retards are "Surprised" by Obama's agenda? What ho? Parochial schools stop teaching reading or something?

Congratulations on a dazzling--blinding--expression of anti-Catholic bigotry.

You have outed yourself and now you are known.

Unfortunately this group is an entity of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. They raise their money largely through donations at Mass.

I’m a Catholic and this sickens me.
