Do you not realize that the Constitution, along with the amendments thereto are, to liberals, a living, breathing document which will mean, never mind the actual words or phrases, whatever they wish it to mean at the time?  Only in that universe can an amendment, which restricts government, can mean that a Bishop practicing his religion as he sees fit is in violation of the terms of that Amendment.

He probably hasn't gone in years. Who is he to say who can give their opinion as how to vote...?Also he is not too bright.

"That division of church and state has application here. No priest, minister, or rabbi should be telling the flock how to vote or for whom. Some do, and they are wrong".

That is the stupidest thing I ever read.Does he ever criticize Reverend Jesse Jackson  orReverend  Al Sharpton? The election isn't going the way they hoped  and lefties want to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Victory in Iraq.

Liberals suck.

McCain for Preznint. 

"As a Catholic since birth and one raised by a devout Irish Catholic mother, I have serious problems with my church on this matter."

I guess he also has a problem with the thirteenth amendment, as well as the first.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Forcing a Bishop to give Biden communion when such an act would be against the will of that Bishop is a form of involuntary servitude, is it not?

Maybe this genius should elaborate further.  The First Amendment not only prevents the establishment of a state church, it also provides for non-interference in religious matters.  But what he seems to be saying is that the government should interfere with the Catholic Church in who it selects for receiving communion, something it is well within its rights to do. 

If these jokers so vehemently disagree with the Catholic Church on such matters as abortion, here is a novel concept: don't attend Mass, and don't be Catholic.   

Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief.  Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.

Masek inflicts so many wrong ideas here, it's hard to write briefly. And yes, this does indicate how shallow his thoughts are, and does cast doubt on his "qualifications."

• Anyone who claims that their views on abortion are an “imposition on others” is, by that statement, an idiot. That’s a completely empty canard. It’s the false hubris of someone trying to avoid penalties for not standing up for what they believe. It’s cowardice.
• Masek doesn’t understand the concept of authority, and certainly not religious authority. The bishop’s job is to judge what is, and what is not, legitimate Catholic teaching. It isn’t their job to be perfect. They were made bishops, not saints. You need to make the distinction between the bishop’s authority and his morality. Masek’s complaints about the bishop’s moral failings do not give Masek the right to disobey their religious authority. You cannot call yourself a Catholic and yet believe that listening to the bishops is optional. By definition, a Catholic must obey the moral teachings of the bishops. That’s not a tangent - that’s at the core of being Catholic.
• The church is very clear that you cannot call yourself a Catholic and yet vote for someone who advocates for abortion. That’s not preventing you from voting for anyone. Is that undue influence? No, because the bishops are simply challenging you to adhere to Catholic principles. If you don’t want to be Catholic, vote for whoever you want.

This is the stereotypical liberal. He doesn’t want to obey the rules, he wants to be above them. He rejects authority because he wants to be seen as superior, either intellectually or morally. The stereotypical liberal simply wants to perch above others and look down upon the rest of us.
