Where are the Catholics in Congress?
The Andrea Shea King Show ^ | May 18, 2009 | Andrea Shea King

Posted on 05/18/2009 3:20:57 PM PDT by patriotgal1787

Tonight on The Andrea Shea King Show at 9 pm ET:

Deal Hudson of Inside Catholic joins us again with his take on the aftermath of yesterday's abominable activities at Notre Dame. Where are the Catholic members of Congress? Crickets...

"The scandal of President Barack Obama receiving an honorary degree at Notre Dame yesterday pales in comparison with the ongoing scandal of Catholics in Congress. Of the 161 Catholics presently serving, only 26 have 100 percent pro-life voting records, while 28 have a zero percent rating. Sixty-five have less than a 20 percent pro-life rating and 75 have accepted donations from pro-abortion lobbying groups."

Deal is the director of InsideCatholic.com and the author of Onward, Christian Soldiers: The Growing Political Power of Catholics and Evangelicals in the United States (Simon and Schuster).

Earlier, he wrote that 68 bishops were openly critical of the choice of President Obama to receive an honorary degree. But what about those who do not speak? What does their silence mean?

Tonight we take a look.

Better question: Where are the Catholics?

Answer: With a few exceptions, outside the graduation.

The RCC has been compromised.

Rome needs to replace the docs of Vatican 2 with the Bible.

“Of the 161 Catholics presently serving, only 26 have 100 percent pro-life voting records, while 28 have a zero percent rating”.

Unfortunately, most politicians with a few exceptions, are political whores.

...28 have a zero percent rating

Real Catholic leadership would have those 28 murderborts gone in the next election.

Should tell you most all you need to know about Catholics (with some exceptions). Ever ready to beat up on others on Free Republic, but when it comes to their own in action...

...there's not a dime's worth of difference between them and the liberals (with some exceptions).

Holey Mother Church is becoming a bit threadbare, IMHO.

AND IMHO that's a very sad thing. Maybe Benedict 16 can turn things around.

You nailed it.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS WHO PRACTICE THEIR FAITH WERE IN JAIL, GETTING ARRESTED, OR WERE ON THE STREETS OUTSIDE THE GATES OF A DESPICABLE, HERETICAL UNIVERSITY!
