“Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exists 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”

In a move that harkens back to the Middle Ages when non-followers were burnt at the stake, Rev. Jay Scott Newman of St. Mary’s Catholic Church here in Greenville issued a letter to his parishioners stating that Obama supporters are putting their souls at risk for supporting him for Presidency.

In this most conservative area of the state, there are plenty around here who feel the same way, but Steve Krueger, national director of Catholic Democrats, says “Father Newman is off base. He is acting beyond the authority of a parish priest to say what he did.”

I would say, “Obama’s train steamed through Greenville”, and while it was certainly steaming hot out, the ‘train’ was actually a bus. But what a nice one it was! I took a Greyhound to Fort Johnson when I joined the Navy back in the day, but it was no where near as nice as this one. Not gaudy, but you get the idea…

Anyway, several politicians took turns at the podium and in what amounted to a short pep rally to get Democrats out to register new voters, we were all actually a little thankful when it was over since it was so hot out.

So the big take away: encourage your family, neighbors, and friends to go register if they haven’t done so already, because we need to work as hard in these last 99 days as we want Obama to work for us in his first 99 days!
