4. I am an ex-Catholic since 2004 because of crap like this

I could no longer tolerate it when the Bishops were doing that "communion war" thing so selectively. Kerry (D) was targeted and harassed for being pro-choice why the equally pro-choice Ahnuld was feted by Catholic officials.

The RCC has a long history of negotiating with tyrants and dictators, and this now includes the radical right of the Republican Party.

Thinking Catholics need to voice their opinions on this, we have a tendency to "Just go along..." This is a cynical attempt to leverage the Catholic vote and they will continue to use the pulpit ESPECIALLY IN LATINO DISTRICTS because they are panicked about the GOP anti-immigrant rhetoric killing off their prospects with that very important voting block.
