so ok, let me get this straight

it's ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT RIGHT TO BE PRO-CHOICE, but it's a-ok to send over 4,000 of our men and women to their deaths in iraq? (a country we invaded for NO reason. a country where tens of thousands have been killed by US and by each other. a country where over a million people have been displaced because of us. oh there so much more, but why continue?)

the catholic church should shut the fuck up about confessing if one voted for obama. the catholic church should worry about THEIR OWN as in SOME of their priests and the cover ups they're ALL responsible for (the all is those in charge, not necessarily the parishioners). the catholic church should worry about helping those in dire need of food and housing and shelter. the catholic church should start worrying about the way they treat women (did you know back in the day priests WERE allowed to marry? want to know why they can no longer? i'll tell you. because their wives and families inherited 'stuff' when the priests died. the catholic church didn't want to part with that 'stuff'. you think i'm making this up? i'm NOT). the catholic church should re-think their stance on birth control if they don't like people being pro choice. the catholic church should PREACH BIRTH CONTROL

OR

they should shut the fuck up

Priest urges confession for Obama supporters
Homily singles out president-elect's stance on abortion
McClatchy Tribune

MODESTO, Calif. - The Rev. Joseph Illo, pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Modesto, Calif., has told parishioners in a homily and in a follow-up letter that if they voted for Barack Obama, they should consider going to confession because of the president-elect's position on abortion.

"If you are one of the 54 percent of Catholics who voted for a pro-abortion candidate, you were clear on his position and you knew the gravity of the question, I urge you to go to confession before receiving communion. Don't risk losing your state of grace by receiving sacrilegiously," Illo wrote in a letter dated Nov. 21.

The letter was sent to more than 15,000 members of the St. Joseph's parish. It is one of 34 parishes in the Stockton Diocese, which has more than 200,000 members in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and four other counties in California.

Though Obama's support of abortion rights angered many Catholics nationally during the campaign, Illo's letter is believed to be the first in Central California from a priest to his parishioners on the topic.

The Most Rev. Stephen Blaire, bishop of the Stockton Diocese, disagrees with Illo. He said Catholics should not feel compelled to disclose how they voted to their priest........
