I promise to leave this subject alone but I just ran into another article about the American Catholic Church and the election of the Obama/Biden ticket.
It appears that American Catholic Bishops are planning to “forcefully confront the Obama administration about its support of abortion rights”.
Obama did promise “to reduce abortion rates” but the Church said that did not count and it was anti-Catholic to vote for him. Can you see the lack of any common, human sense here; it is not OK to lower the amount of abortions in this country, an all out ban is the only acceptable path. That stance is not only stupid it flies in the face of reason and in the face of reality; how can lowering abortion rates be a bad thing?
They plan on confronting Joe Biden and his statement that he learned his values as a young man growing up Catholic in Scranton, Pa. The bishops will say that his values are unacceptable if they run contrary to Catholic teaching. They obviously assume that only their value system has merit.
Another bishop said “you just cannot check your principles at the door to the legislature”. What about the principle of freedom to live your life according to your desires and wishes; since when does the Church know what the hell is right for us to do. Their arrogance must be thrown right back in their faces.
Another bishop is attacking Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius saying she should stop taking Communion until “she changes her stance” on abortion.
Dr. Whelan, president of Catholic Democrats said the Church leaders need to tone their stance down because it was counterproductive and would alienate even more Catholics.
I say let them try their intimidation, real Catholics have principles and values and they sure don’t always match those of the Catholic Church, the Church they grew up in because their Church has lost its way when it comes to the rights of the individual. They cannot treat Catholics as just sheep in a very large herd.
