1. "Don't risk your state of grace by receiving sacrilegiously." Oh, come on!!!

You can always kick in a few extra bucks and buy your way back into heaven.

2. Ah yes the long lost eleventh commandment.

"Thou shall worship the Republican Party without thinking. Thou shall have no other party before them."

[HopeHoops]

3. "Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I voted for the murdering chimp the last two times."

"Wait, that's not what you were supposed to say!"

6. LOL!!! too funny!

[Ned_Devine]

4. That's rich

The catholic church; the same organization that sanctioned the widespread, wholesale molestation of children for decades if not centuries, is asking other people to confess to sins? Priceless!

[SemperEadem]

5. why confess when you have done nothing to contradict the 10 commandments?

there is no sin in voting for Obama.

Is this some made up shit like "indulgences"?

Perhaps the church needs to address their league of child molesters first before trying to stick their noses into what doesn't concern them.

7. They need to go to church with a notice of revoking tax exempt status if that >

priest pulls that stunt again. Enough of invasive church intervention. The bible is meant to govern a persons individual life not all those around them. Time for churches to get back to the decency of helping the poor and sick and not taking the position of God and judging others. "Judge not yet ye be judged." So, the only thing I would humbly suggest they need to abort... is their rhetoric.

8. On the path to total irrelevancy

The Vatican's refusal to alter its position on contraceptive birth control relegated itself to a position of total irrelevancy in regard to one of the major decisions facing Catholic parents.

This has been compounded by the church's increasingly rigidly conservative stance on sexual moral issues. If the church's future is in retaining the loyalty of its young people then the church has chosen a stance that is intolerable for the vast majority of young people since they find it totally irrelevant to today's reality.

It is not surprising that those who are attracted to the priesthood in today's environment are rigid intolerant traditionalists. Only the most intellectually stunted could be attracted to a church that has receded into the Dark Ages of superstition and authoritarianism. If you wish to see the future of the Catholic Church in America and not too far off also its future in South America, one only has to look at the status of the church in Europe.

9. Funny, but I must have missed something.

I didn't see the names of any bishops or priests on the ballot they gave me at my polling place. Until they show up, well, I'll just keep on voting with my secular conscience.

Thanks RC Church!

[Khaotic]

10. Yo Father ...

I attend mass now and ... then.

I loosely believe that there are entities out there beyond our grasp.

However, I no longer answer questions with mythology and do not require dogma to give creedence to words attributed to the words of the character referred to as the son of a deity in the bible.

I find those words compelling and will not shit my shorts if definitive proof were to come out that zombie deity scion never existed.

Whoever wrote those words was a good person and for the most part they are good words to live by. In 2008, we should no longer seek to proliferate them through the use of mythology.

Because they are good words, I have not cast aside the church, as the church does "try" to live by those words; at least they do if you don't consider the dark ages, the crusades, or the inquisition.

However, it is very troubling that the Catholic Church is heavily vering off into the land of the Christian Reich and seeking to once again influance legislation.

This is bad, as I do not believe "Jesus" would seek out Caesar to attempt to influence a woman thinking about having an abortion. He would simply spread the good word.

11. If the Church doesn't want to pay taxes and keep

the government out of its business, the Church should not interfere with the government's business.
No candidate is pro abortion. That's the frame the right wing uses to characterize freedom of choice.
As for my choice: I choose to reject advice from religious hucksters.
"If it weren't for sin, the priest would have no job."

12. I Quit Long ago

Who cares,what these guys say. I was raised in a Irish Catholic Family an as i gained yrs i became totally dissatisfied with there line of religion. I just cant believe them at all. In fact Who cares what they say. The church is in a time warp an will not get out of it and is losing its relevance more and more every day.
