A Catholic priest in South Carolina has told his congregation they cannot receive communion if they voted for Barack Obama. This is due to the fact that Obama is pro-choice, meaning he agrees that abortion is acceptable. This priest said that a vote for Obama is the equivalent of voting for abortion, resulting in sin on the part of the voter. He says these voters must do penance (probably more than 5 Hail Marys) before they are once again able to partake of communion. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? All that was said at All Saints four years ago was that we disagreed with the war in Iraq and we got lambasted by the IRS and threatened with losing our tax exemption.

Sorry Father, but I don’t agree that you can declare voting for one candidate or another sinful due to a candidates views. When did you become God?! And what about previous Presidents who had views that might have been in conflict with the laws of God–views regarding torture, adultery, lies, theft, etc. Oh, but those guys were okay because they never came out and said how they felt and we didn’t know about lots of this stuff until after the fact when it was too late to declare our votes sinful.

So every Catholic be forewarned: you are going to Hell (or at least for a stint in Purgatory) unless you repent today for your vote last week for Obama! Get off to confession now!!! Don’t take the chance that you might get hit by a car and not have time to do penance for your sinful ways in the voting booth!

Another reason why……forget it. Enough said.
