IOW - they've read the writing on the wall.
Ping!
100 bucks says Obamanation outlaws the church if he is elected. Any takers?. He opposes anything that is of God. He is the Anti-Christ
The nuclear option, should be considered, or at least threatened, to pro-death American politicians and officeholders who are supposedly adherents to the Catholic faith. Now would be a good time to start.

pass this video link along! It is wonderful.
Would that we could air it on national TV for at least 3 days before the election...
It seems that FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act) which is Pelosi and Obamas top priority in a new administration s SO extreme as to take breath away
No Christian should be able to suppor that.
It eliminates the ability of anyone to object to or even offer alternatives to abortion (up to and forcing medical personnel to participate) and sets churches up to face civil rights violation charges if they even speak out
FOCA will essentially have that effect.
It outlaws conscience protections for both institutions and individual health care workers. The Catholic hospital system will be the first to go, followed by other Catholic social services organizations.
These, and other similar statements from the American Bishops are welcome indeed.
It is way past time that the Bishops grew a spine and realized that the “social justice” faction of The Church is nothing more than an ultra leftist bunch who would love to see life issues limited to only the death penalty.
I think American Bishop’s backs are against the wall now and they no longer have a choice about speaking out. “Moral Equivalence” is dead.
Ping. Good Morning!
Ping. Good Morning!
Thanks for the post. I am on my way to Mass and will study it in depth when I return.
Finally, it appears to be a strong life supporting statement!
It’s about time they grew a spine.
The church should have taken a definitive position on this 30 years ago.
He would plants the seeds of a new bloody civil war.
He has already done it

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
It looks to me like the start of an avalanche among the bishops this year. I have never seen so many bishops speak out so clearly and unequivocally, especially in October with an election approaching, when they have usually gone quiet for fear of risking the tax status of the Church or offending the Democrat politicians.
I think they are recognizing that this is a critical turning point. If Obama wins, it could block any further movement toward life for the foreseeable future. If he loses, we will continue to press forward toward a return to constitutional government.
Especially critical is the Supreme Court. And that goes not only for the right to life but for freedom to bear arms, freedom of religion, freedom to choose your path and succeed in life, freedom of speech, and a host of other freedoms that we take for granted.
An Obama win, with Pelosi and Reid sitting on a filibuster proof majority and a collapsing world economy, might cause irreversible damage.
So it’s speak now, or forever hold your peace.
It’s about time. Better late than never.
I have been thinking that we shall soon see some actual formal excommunications.
