As you start your fall plenary meetings you are faced with a crisis in the Catholic Church in America. The most immoral evil person to date has been elected President with a lot of help from the Catholics. Even among churchgoing Catholics Obama received 49% of the vote. That means that federally funded embryonic stem cell research, the Freedom of choice act A pro Abortion Supreme Court for the next 25 years and a repeal of the defense of marriage act are surely around the corner. Many of us pro life Catholics put the blame squarely in your corner. Why? YOU Have Failed. There has not been enough catechetical preaching from the pulpit. Sure you say 100 bishops made statements. 100 out of 300. You are not unified. That means two thirds did not do enough. How can Catholics have and Informed conscience if they don't hear from the pulpit what the proper Church teaching is.
There are Pro abortion politicians who are still allowed to receive communion. That is sending the wrong message. I believe these politicians are heretics and should be excommunicated. That will be sending the right message.
Your document "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," did not go far enough. It should say plain and simply enough "To vote for a Pro abortion candidate over a pro life candidate is a mortal sin" PERIOD. Do not leave any doubts. Do not talk about other important issues. There are no other issues as important as protecting the innocent pre-born human life. NO MORE AMBIGUITY.
Now the election is over. We have lost a battle. But you my dear bishops must act NOW. Do not wait til the 2010 election. DO YOUR JOB. Preach. Teach. GET your priests to do the same. From the pulpit. That is the only way we can correct this very sad state of affairs in the United States Catholic Church . And as stated in my previous post we must pray not only for the conversion of Barack Obama but also for all these misguided souls who voted for him

Election hangover
Ok. The election is over finally. Obama won. Death won. Atheism won. McCain lost. Pro life lost.
The day after, I must admit, I was very dejected. How can God believing people vote for a candidate like Barack Obama and other pro death politicians? How can this happen?
Then I read an article by Lisa Miller on Newsweek online linked here :http://www.newsweek.com/id/167917. It seems to celebrate the end of the influence of Value Voters. All I could think - "it is the economy stupid" The value voters turned their backs to God and voted their pocketbooks. It seems that America will vote for the Devil himself if he promises a good economy. Forget the Pre-born humans. They are not important. Following God and his commandments and laws are not important.
Look at the exit polls.
49% of the church going Catholics voted for Obama.
Protestant/Other Christian 45% -- Obama.
Catholic 54% --Obama.
Jewish 78%-- Obama .
White Protestant/Other Christian 34% -- Obama.
White Catholic 47% -- Obama.
White Jewish 83% -- Obama.
32% of Protestants who attend Church at least weekly voted for Obama
On and On. For complete results go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26843704
Jill Stanek in a column in WorldNetDaily entitled "Life will not go on," wrote in part "this means we are fooling ourselves if we think the United States is still a Christian nation . Its people just elected a barbarian as president, authorized the killing of both its youngest and sickest, rejected scientific fact that human life begins at conception, blocked parental intervention of abortions of young girls, and voted down the wording of an abortion ban they said only two years ago they would support."
I agree with Jill but I will go even farther. America today is an atheistic Godless society. We will ignore God's fifth commandment and vote our pocketbooks. It is the idol -- money. It is the economy over God's laws. We worship money. Our economy takes precedence over millions of -humans whose innocent lives have been taken.
Like many I thought we need to pray for Barack Obama to be converted. That is still true. We also need to pray for the millions of people who voted for Obama. They need to be converted. Until they are I am afraid that Abortion will never end. Until people turn to God and vote pro-life over the bad economy we will lose. And when will the Wrath of God finally take force.
With Jill Stanek and all good Pro life, God loving people let us pray for the conversion of America. For Obama. Miracles Happen.
