CATHOLIC VOTE SUPPRESSION

I received a very bizarre "comment" from someone named Kathy this week. The "comment" was in response to my posting the inspiring video The Catholic Vote put out by CatholicVote.com , which most of you have seen and posted on your blogs or sent via email to others. However, I was not alone in receiving this comment.

In his post today, The Curt Jester reveals: Catholic blogs such as Cosmos-Liturgy-Sex and Bettnet and no doubt others have received the same "comment" by someone named Kathy that includes the following.

If you forward this video or link to the website in your official capacity you may be in violation of IRS regulations and Church policy. You will also be distributing materials that contradict Church teaching.

It then goes on to say that there are "other intrinsic evils" involved this campaign season such as racism (I didn't know anyone was running on a pro-racism platform). Ironic since I thought that lying and making false claims was also evil, though maybe the person is just woefully ignorant about blogs and the IRS along with Church teaching.

David at C-L-S does a good refutation of the claims made in the "comment" which are typical progressive boilerplate for why you should vote for Obama. Dom at Bettnet also has his own comments.

    Kathy is probably Douglas Kmeic in drag!!!

    There is a concerted effort and I can tell you it is ongoing here in South Florida, to confuse, obfuscate and manipulate Catholics, particularly Hispanics, as to the polices of Sen. McCain. (as to immigration, war policy, Bush, etc.)

    Ofcourse, the fact that B.Hussein Obama & Joe Biden are pro-abortion and pro-infanticide never gets mentioned.

    Kathy left the same comment for me. I suspect she did a google search for this video and copy and pasted the same comment onto every blog. Quite a few people have left comments about this suppression.

    I honestly believe that God is going to turn America over to her own desires of lust and greed. Obama will win and the responsibility will fall squarely upon the shoulders of Catholics who always "vote for the Democrat," regardless of what they stand for, just as long as the union bosses grease their palms, they are as happy as pigs in slop (literally.)

    Chris, I also know several people who vote democrat because "my grandpa voted democrat and my dad voted democrat.

    I have to agree with the late great President Reagan when he said "I didn't leave the democratic party, they left me"...

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as hosta
