This past election showed that a majority of Catholics voted for Barack Obama even though his record and his views makes him the most pro-abortion President. For Catholics, abortion is a mortal sin. The Catholic church views abortion as a sin so grave that one could lose one’s soul by partaking in it. The Catholic Church is not a human organization, rather it is the living, breathing embodiment of Christ. It is not a club, one can not be a Pro-Choice Catholic. It is not a supermarket where you get to pick and choose what parts of the faith that you accept and what parts you don’t. To be clear if you think you are a Pro Choice Catholic, you aren’t. (You are not Catholic) The faith you profess to believe in is not Catholic . By denying one of the teachings of the church, that individual has placed himself outside of the church.
This past Sunday the Catholic Church actually took donations for “Campaign for Human Development: The Catholic Church working to end poverty and injustice in America; We’ll turn your dollars into hope for the poor of our nation.” Just so you know (CHD) does not go for charity but for radical Obama-style community organizing. Over the last ten years, CHD has given $7.3 million of Catholic-donated dollars to a group called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).
CCHD’s executive director, Ralph McCloud, admitted to Catholic News Service that “some of the funds that the Catholic Campaign contributed to ACORN in the past undoubtedly were used for voter registration drives.”
Employees of ACORN and affiliated organizations like Project Vote have been either indicted or convicted of submitting false voter registration forms in 14 states, in June 2008 CCHD approved grants of $1.13 million to 40 local ACORN affiliates for the cycle beginning July 1, 2008. Those grants were ratified by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at its June 2008 meeting. (Source Phyllis Schaffley)
So by giving to this charity, Catholics unknowingly participated in voter fraud. But Acorn is not only involved in voter registration they were also involved in petitioning the government and banks to loosen their lending standards
Acorn was actively involved in targeting Fannie and Freddie Mac to get them to lend money to people under normal circumstances that would never qualify for a loan. With the threat hanging over them, banks began to lend to people with no income, no credit and no jobs.
Barack Obama took Acorn and through agitation forced banks to change their standards into wealth redistribution centers. With the banks and the economy now in taters, Obama can now move in and change the shape of the American institutions. A move away from freedom into one where government calls the shots.
God’s greatest gift to man was Freedom. God never obliges any one to love him or follow him it is always man’s choice. By electing Obama, US citizens have now elected a leader who does not believe in Freedom but rather in redistribution. These two ideas are mutually incompatible and the outcome of these two opposing ideas and how the battle that will now ensue will not turn at well. What is most disturbing is that Catholics, who should know these things have unwittingly given money and their votes to someone who abhors what they believe in.
