unite and galvanize Catholics on the right and left

With ever more illegals voting, the percentage of Catholics voting for the statists will only increase.

Just like the black vote, the democrats know that they have them.

Archbishop: Obama Wrong on Birth Control Mandate
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2012/January/NY-Archbishop-Obama-Wrong-on-Birth-Control-Mandate-/

A Roman Catholic leader says the Obama administration has become a serial violator of the Constitution.

Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, soon to be ordained by Pope Benedict as a cardinal, says the White House has been on the wrong side of the Constitution several times.

The most recent is the administration’s requirement that church-affiliated institutions cover free birth control for their employees.

When asked whether he disagreed with President Obama’s mandate, following a lecture in New York Tuesday night, Dolan said, ‘You bet we got a disagreement.’

“It’s not about contraception. It’s about the right of conscience,” he told reporters right before Obama gave his State of the Union Address.

“The government doesn’t have the right to butt into the internal governance and teachings of the church,” Dolan said. “This is not a Catholic issue, it’s an American issue. We’re strong on this issue of conscience, and that’s what’s at stake here.”

Dolan released a video urging Catholics to protest the requirement.

The church opposes contraception and considers morning after pills the equivalent of abortion.

Legal experts predict a court battle between the diocese and the government over the requirement.

Why do you pick on only the Catholics when other denominations voted strongly for Obama?

Has Obama Lost the Catholic Left?P> Obama won the overall religious vote, 52 percent to 46 percent, reversing President George W. Bush’s 51 percent to 48 percent “values voter” victory over Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry in 2004. Obama also won the Catholic vote, persuaded young evangelical voters to choose him and began to squeeze shut the so-called “God gap” yawning between religious Democrats and Republicans during the Bush era.

How will the roughly 9.1 million evangelical Christians who voted for Obama vote in the next election? Will Obama's actions compel the 31.2 million evangelicals who didn't vote in the 2008 election to vote next time?
