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
