I wish they were more forceful with the 50% asses who sit in the pews with me every week. Not one sermon during the election cycle demanding that Catholics stand up to this government and vote in defense of the Church. They let the “social justice” “catholics” run the show.
My Hispanic priest basically told us we couldn’t vote for a candidate who didn’t believe in things the Church considers fundamental teachings, such as the right to life and traditional marriage. I was shocked because he is a champion of the Hispanics in our community (social justice type) and we are in the Tucson diocese. I don’t recall hearing anything like that, or at least as emphatic as that, all the years I lived in Scottsdale. Of course, we’ve never before had a president as extreme as Obama either.
Don’t worry. Their shock is coming. Their precious peace and justice initiatives will be on the chopping block soon enough.
They may love the Democrats but the Democrats don’t love them. They’ve been used.
