maybe it’s that easy forgiveness for doing bad things you guys have in the confessional we serious Prods lack

Our forgiveness in the confessional is not "easy" by any means. We are required to repent prior to going to confession. Regardless, so few Catholics go to Confession / Reconciliation anymore, it's almost a non-issue.

I am a Catholic in good standing and I never, never have voted for a pro abortion candidate.

Sick efforts to indict the Catholic Church fail miserably. All they accomplish is to indict the sinners who disobeyed Catholic teaching.

My brother in law is a Catholic priest and voted Obama :(

My brother in law is a priest, and he didn't, and he was totally bummed, when he called us last night. He told me though, of an older Irish nun in his Parish who was just all aglow about Obama, so much so that the Principal of the Catholic High School told her to leave her office, once, because she was disgusted that this woman, who is in Religious life, could support such a man.

I don’t know how my BIL justifies this vote in his mind. I know that I have no respect for him any longer. That my husband didn’t defend his brothers decision to me says that he feels the same as I do.
His sister ( staunch Rep. ....or was) voted for Zero because she “hates Palin”. No reason expressed as to why.

I want to see the thread bragging about the oh-so-gooey goodness of the Presbyterian Sunday-school teacher who took Dole’s Senate seat, the one who is pro-abortion and took money from atheist fundraisers.

Can’t wait for the multiple threads on that Princess of Darkness.

You have been exposed to “Anti-Catholic Derangement Syndrome”, or ACDS. Take all necessary precautions

Very Good! I'll have to remember that one!

ACDS...hmmm

The Church has been telling people since the Didache was written in the first or second century that abortion was a grave sin (as in go directly to Hell kind of sin, do not pass trough Purgatory, go directly to Hell and stay there). Before that it was in the Old Testament not to sacrifice children to Moloch.

Ancient civilizations thought that it was, all in all, the better thing to do, to sacrifice children to Moloch to benefit the rest of society—get a good grain harvest or win the Carthaginian war against the Romans (oops—that didn't work) or whatever. Now it is send people to the abortuariums and poverty will end, no more child abuse, etc. Wrong on all counts. Like all bargains with Evil, it isn't give something to get something, it is give something priceless for absolutely nothing.

Yes, I’ve noticed you get scourged quite often. Think of it as walking in the footsteps of Christ. Offer it up!

Sadly there was one very true statement in the article that “Faithful Citizenship” was a cause of confusion rather than clarity. That document should be shredded and never allowed to see the light of day in any Parish.
