If You Voted Obama, You Better Do Penance or You Will Go To Hell

In a follow up to the church taking a stance against Obama post from my personal blog the the other day, here is the granddaddy of all prejudiced churches.

No communion for Obama supporters

It's down to one issue.

Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ's Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation.


And here is another quote:

In fact, in this election, for the sake of argument, if the Republican candidate had been pro-abortion, and the Democratic candidate had been pro-life, everything that I wrote would have been exactly the same.

Nevermind the fact that it is still legal despite 6 of the 9 presidential terms since RvW having been Republican administrations, and 7 of the 9 current SCOTUS judges being appointed by republican presidents.

This is, I am sure, why Jesus did not come and establish "communion" prior to Joseph being given high command under the ungodly Egyptian government, Moses being adopted and raised under, get this, a leader that actively participated in baby killings, and Daniel and the boys serving and protecting God's servant, the wonderfully unstable indiscriminate destroyer of life, born and unborn, Nebuchadnezzar.

Thankfully, he held off so that these individuals did not have to worry about such a huge issue and just knew, it was a given, they were under the judgment of divine law. What a load off of their minds... and ours. Now we don't have to sit around judging God's elect.
