Did you hear about the Colorado Catholic Bishop Michael Sheridan
saying that Catholics who vote for "anti-Catholic-Dogma" politicians cannot take communion "without confessing"? WTF!!!!!
You MUST WATCH THIS Daily Show clip (if you haven't seen it already)

THE WEEK IN GOD with Stephen Colbert... hilarious

1. Since the Bishops work for a foreign country, i.e., The Holy See
(constructed so as to get leverage for the corrupt hierarchy to get into the U.N. and enslave women throughout the world) they should be tried for treason along with the politicians who follow papal bull and do not follow the U.S. Constitution.

There are two Bishops in Colorado who yap about this stuff all the time, this one, Sheridan, and Chaput in Denver. Speaking of people who should be banned from the country!

2. It sounds to me as though these bishops
are coordinating with Rove to influence the Hispanic vote.

I have read that if Bush can get 30% of the Hispanic vote, then Bush can win the election.

When I was a girl, people would say that they didn't want their wife to have a child in a Catholic hospital because the Catholic doctors would just focus on the child if there was a problem and let the mother die.

3. Catholics can stop this.
If Catholics put a note in their donation envelopes that states when the Bishops and priests start acknowledging that the Church has no place in politics, either Constitutionally or through the NT (the render to god...render to Caesar statement by Jesus)then they will find money in the envelope but not before.

You can be sure empty coffers will inspire them more than anything to do an about face on this matter.

4. Great idea Cleita and it is true that many Catholics have been
opposing the heirarchy in other ways for a long time now. Empty coffers are certainly motivational.

After that, take a look at the members of Opus Dei now running the White House like the Knights of Malta ran it in Rayguns "administration"

5. The Archbishop in Denver already slapped him down
for this crap. Donations were disappearing, and the collection plates were getting considerably lighter.

Sheridan is going to find his puckered ass in Rome for some heavy discipline if he doesn't can it. Worse than defying his Archbishp will be costing them money in lost donations.
