Well, you may disagree, but the majority of Catholics voted for Obama. What does that tell you? Father Phlager was called on the carpet for his shenanigans, but what really happened to him? Nada, nuttin. We can't even discipline a priest gone wild, let alone a few pols that thumb their noses at the church. You can look at the situation any way you want, but I'm trying to be realistic and not let my feelings for the church influence my opinion of the truth. I realize there are multitudes of good Catholics in the pews, but it just seems more and more every day are in positions of influence that are destroying the Church. I can't point to “the last straw” exactly, but day after day, drip by drip, we get stories like Pelosi saying the Church isn't settled on abortion while in Rome. There are people in powerful positions spewing crap like a honey wagon and NOTHING seems to happen other than a editorial in some opinion column by a priest or Bishop somewhere. Where is the backbone of the Church? These people need to be disciplined or thrown out if they just can't be comfortable with the Word of God. We don't need them and I'm sure God is judging our reaction to their blasphemy.

I don't think anybody condones thought police turning all of us into mindless robots, but some things we should all be able to agree on and abortion is right up there at the top of the list. We can argue over Latin mass or what ever else among ourselves, but there are some things that are at the heart of church teaching that we must agree on or we are no longer Catholic. Abortion is one of those. If a Democrat wants to favor abortion, gay marriage, removing God from American life, and a bucket of other topics, Then they need to decide if they want to be Catholic or a Democrat. Right now, there doesn't seem to be all that much pressure to make a decision.
