So wait, it's not the Vicar of Christ condeming to Hell? Nah, just American Bishops and bloggers. :-)
I haven't condemned anyone to hell, neither have the Catholic bishops. We don't know what was in the private letter. And we all have different ways of approaching these things. Weak.
Speaking of reactions, here is something from the National Catholic Register: http://www.ncregister.com/daily/...our_president1/
What comes to mind after reading this article is the following:
"Happy", politically correct, horse manure.
That's nice that you "liked" Obama. I too like many "civil, decent" men who champion evil and who pose as prophets and Messiahs.
And we couldn't get a "congratulatory" note to Obama without the obligatory mention of race. Question: if racism is over, why do we keep talking about it?
And are we so terribly stupid to believe that no one voted for Obama because of race, that blacks don't see him as "their guy" simply because he is black? I saw several people on the way to work this morning overjoyed by his election. They were black and they feel that "their time" has finally come, that their dream has been realized. Noooo, this wasn't about race at all...
I've also heard the following: that the election of Obama proves that racism is over. Give. Me. A. Break. I know of several people who one could easily call racists. True, they are not in the KKK, but they don't hide their racial slurs very well either. And yet, they voted for Obama. And yet, they will still use racial slurs and remain fixated on the color of one's skin when forming their opinions.
What exactly is impressive about Obama? His public speaking? His smile?
And, to the people who are "in their hearts" pro-life "but who haven’t translated their pro-life principles into their voting decisions", I'd like to know where you've been living for the past two years. Obama is THE culture of death icon. There is no excuse, assuming you are informed on his positions. To be pro-life and support Obama is simply a contradiction. Why dress it up in niceties and explain it away?
Finally, please tell me, without the platitudes and generalizations, what "great" thing Obama has done.
Please. Tell me.
My own congratulations goes out to those Catholics who have not become heretics and who heeded the teaching authority of the Church. You are to be commended for your fortitude and for your courage.
Political correctness is cowardice and the dressing up of Obama's "achievement" as exciting is sickening.
The vote for Obama in the majority Catholic states shows a failure in Church leadership and the application of Church teaching.Notre Dame went for Obama.
Most Catholics are heretics and have been burning incense before the emperor Obama's image.
Stop the sacriledge of these heretics receiving Holy Communion, Bishops!
Our Protestant brothers and sisters stood up for the faith in their vote! The South will rise again!
The majority of Catholics are faithless!
Bishops and priests, proclaim the Church's teaching on marriage and the dignity of the marital union from the rooftops. Advertise in the secular media! The message of Humanae vitae is liberating and fulfilling. NFP classes must be required for all engaged couples who marry in the Church. The biology of conception, which seems not to be taught any more in secular courses,is taught in them.
The head of the Univ. of Michigan Embryonic stem cell Division is 'Catholic'. He is in the same profession as an abortionist.
well, one thing I heard on Monday was that IF Mr. O wins, he has much more to live up to than he can imagine. He has to deliver. So let's see how that plays out. Also, I have to agree on the race issue. Those of color in my office only reiterated whatthey heard on the TV and were not able to discuss anything other than He isnt republican ( and he's mulatto, not Black). I plan to pray for him ( and his cabinet) everyday so that he reamains open to the Grace of God so that he dosent too much damage.
I'm just 'bummed out' seeing how DUMB Americans are in voting for "Obamanation'! How can we such idiots?
Prepare for persecution....
I like how the Vatican's sentiments are "fluff," even though they they certainly came from the desk of the Pope. But they were delivered by a Jesuit - perfidy and outrage.
"they certainly came from the desk of the Pope."
???
The desk of the Pope. The CEO of the Catholic Church. He has a corporate desk.
