Can’t argue with the number who voted for 0bama. However, I would argue that most of those who voted for zero are CINOs. A full 45% of Catholics do not believe or understand the Church’s teaching on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This is the source and summit of our faith and they don’t get it. If they don’t get it on something this important to their faith, it is likely they are missing the Church’s teaching on many other issues also.
These are the people who have succumbed to secular humanism and moral relativism, who think like pelosi and other CINOs.
I understand your point - and you have the hispanic contingent as well.
But this is what I see -
Heirarchy far left.
Majority of “Catholics” voting well left - MORE than average of society.
Then a small sliver of “real Catholics” who bother to understand what is going on.
It has gotten to a point where the political interferece of the majority and the leftist leaders - is really sort of outweighing the good of the others. There must be SOME point on the scale at which one says “OK - enough is enough!” In my opinion - the Catholic church is approaching that point - if it has not passed it.
This Cardinal didn’t have to say ANYTHING about global warming. There are plenty of the world’s poor, and social problems, to attend to. This is just politics.
