This was on my homepage:

The article is pretty shocking in that Catholics are usually pro-life. But this paragraph is just so upsetting:

Kmiec began the 2008 cycle as co-chairman of Mitt Romney's campaign, but recently told the Chicago Tribune that, as the campaign unfolded, "I kept discovering that Obama was sounding more Catholic than most Catholics I know" on issues like the family wages, health-care costs and the war in Iraq. With Romney out of the race, Kmiec announced his support for Obama on Easter Sunday, arguing that "Senator Obama comes reasonably close" to embodying "an alternative way to be pro-life." Kmiec develops that arresting claim in a new book, "Can a Catholic Support Him? Asking the Big Questions About Barack Obama," published in mid-September.

I literally gasped.

The evil one is having a field day with all the folks he's sending through that wide gate.

There's a pretty strong movement within the RCC against Obama. It doesn't mention him specifically, but it is about the RCC stance of pro-life. My husband's family is mostly RCC and only 1 of his 9 siblings is voting for Obama.

Can a Catholic support Obama? The answer is clearly NO.

I've tried several time to comment on this. I repeatedly erase it. I'm just too appalled. :tsk

Although Catholics are pro-life, they are socially liberal. I can see why they favor Obama from that point of view.

A 90 (something) year old american nun living in Rome has voted for Obama because he is "such a nice family man"... She don't care he is pro-infantacide...

When you get a conflict such as this, true feelings tend to come out. Clearly, the liberal agenda is more important to them than the murder of innocent children. :tsk

Unbelievable!

. . . but then again, it's dealing with confused Catholics:

Catholics for Obama/Biden '08 (http://www.romancatholicsforobama.com/)

It the vacuum of sound doctrine, I guess that a social gospel will do.

Biden is a Catholic himself, one who at one time considered the priesthood. That's probably an influence on at least some Catholics.
