Obama wins with the Catholic vote

Obama wins with the Catholic vote

The Catholic vote was divided much as was the rest of the nation’s voters, leaning slightly in favor of Obama. A final Gallup poll, reflecting tracking from Nov. 1 to 4, showed Catholics favoring Obama by 52 to 45 percent.

“The Catholic vote, like any number of votes, does have the potential to make an impact,” said Gregory Smith, a senior researcher who specializes in Catholic politics at the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life.

While they do not vote as a unified group, Catholics are significant in elections because of their large numbers, making up approximately one in four U.S. voters, he said.

Smith said it is difficult to pinpoint what effect the contraception mandate and religious freedom issues are having on the Catholic vote this year.

News-Briefs articles come from various media outlets many of them being Catholic. The purpose of the “comments” section below the article is to discuss the substance of the article, PERIOD. Avoid personally attacking the author of the article, the news source of the article and especially avoid attacking the person posting the News-Briefs article which is me.

Accusing others of being “unchristian, non-Catholic, anti-Catholic, an enemy to religion” or in any way questioning the Catholic identity of others simply because they post a news article that upsets your own neo-Catholic viewpoint, is indicative or your own weak faith and an unwillingness to face the truth.

Gregory offers little of substance but prefers to use his postings on News-Briefs articles to simply be argumentative and to ridicule.

This repeatedly was the case before his recent absence and it is obvious now that he intends to continue with his disruptive behavior. It is for this reason that all of his posts, like his friend Roman Candle, will be removed from all News-Briefs articles.

In short, work your “issues” out on your own. They will NOT be tolerated here.

Looks like someone here is seeking to be argumentative. Instead of your constant bashing of this news article Gregory, why not take the advice of Cannoli and contact both the Deacon and the Catholic News Agency. But you rather continue antagonizing, which is unmistakably evident. Whatever your problem is, handle it via Private Message and stop making an a$$ of yourself.
Holy Cannoli

Evangelicals and Church Going Catholic Voters Favor Romney by Wide Margins

Obama narrowly won the Catholic vote driven largely by over performing among Hispanic Catholics.

I'm shocked!

I sortta sick of people talking about the "Catholic vote" as if the entire voting block was voting in unison. It obviously isn't, and this is very disturbing. What I just can't get over is why people want to call themselves Catholic when they don't go to church, don't read the bible or the Catachism, or even want listen to Catholic media.

If Obama won with the Catholic vote...just proves again the sorry state of the Church.

Timothy Dolan should be proud, look at all the Catholics he encouraged to vote for the Fraud.

So long, America...
------------------------------------------

The American bishops let the ‘seamless garment’ social justice doctrine work its poison for so long, now they are mystified when Catholics help re-elect the most anti-Catholic president there ever was.
-----------------------------------------

Just goes to show how seriously Catholics take their own doctrine... about as seriously as those envelopes that fill the baskets with their loose change every Sunday (at least every Sunday that they attend).
---------------------------------------

When the leaders of the church advocate for class warfare, it's to be expected the rank and file will follow suit. It's shocking to me how Catholic voters continue to favor social justice over the loss of religious freedom, abortion measures and sexual perversion the Democrats advocate.

I'm very glad to see the Protestants are still voting for true justice (not social justice) by a 13 point margin.
--------------------------------

If our candidate is not utterly perfect on the issue, such as suggesting rape and life of the mother exemption, then we go ahead and vote for the psychopath who advocates killing babies that manage to survive an abortion?

This mentality has just enabled FAR more abortion than Romney ever would have on his worst day.

Maybe the body count will reflect our purity? This is like marrying a career prostitute to avoid marrying a fiancee’ who isn’t a virgin, and is therefore impure.
------------------------------------

The question is what kind of church do you have when neither the parishioners nor those who lead them are interested in the doctrines that supposedly define them.

It would appear the Church has chosen a popularity contest approach to be all things to all people, rather than being an anchor for all people against the world of temptation and consequences.

It is said that after elections we get the world we deserve. I have resisted that belief since I didn't vote for any of this, but now I see that we do.

The older generation first receives the world they have taught to their children.

And here we are, wondering what comes next. Too bad the Church doesn't know the answer or chose not to teach it...but it's not too late, is it?
-------------------------------------------

A friend who I trust and is very well connected in the Church said in September that over half the members of the USCCB were still planning on voting for Obama this year.

Given what Raymond Arroyo said about their vote in 2008 ( see onelacatholic.blogspot.com/…/how-many-of-hie… )

I believe this.

“All heresy begins below the waist.” And the problems in the USCCB still run very deep in this regard. That is the primary explanation for the failure of the Church in this election.
--------------------------------------------

..and for the idiots who didn't want to chose Romney because he is not fully prolife...

Only an immature low life A-hole would have stayed home. Their big day of moral posturing just got us the maximum possible number of abortions,
6 dollar gasoline,
the end of coal (doubling our electric bills),
the end of fracking, skyrocketing taxes,
“flexibility” with Russia,
more of Moochelle Obamas food nazi policies,
a warm embrace of the muslim brotherhood,
nuclear weapons for Iran,
the final abandonment of Israel,
the likely destruction of the dollar as a reserve currency,
further oppression of American churches,
and all the Abortion Obama and his machine can churn out.

Good work guys.

This should be a profound warning to the Vatican that it has effectively lost the souls of over half of those in America who call themselves Catholics.

Hypothetically, it is comparable to a situation in which over half the Catholics living in a nation embraced unholy paganism, while continuing to call themselves Catholic. What can the church do?

When the church is afraid to carry out actual excommunication, unwilling to do more than argue with the heretic that they should stop being heretics, it is no longer Catholic.

What priest is brave enough to ask for a show of hands of who voted for Obama, then to ask them to group together and tell them that they are excommunicated, that their names will be removed from the records of the church, and that in future they are to be denied communion or even attendance at mass? And finally give them a request that they henceforth do not call themselves Catholics.

It is past the point where the church can try to redeem the majority who have strayed. It can either expel them or be destroyed by them.
