The full headline is below.  I wasn't sure where to put it--Religious Discussions, Election 2012, Politics all could have this.

But, it's about time a Catholic bishop said this.

CATHOLIC BISHOP: VOTING FOR OBAMA, DEMS COULD PLACE ‘ETERNAL SALVATION OF YOUR OWN SOUL IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY’

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki from Springfield, Illinois, is getting attention after making some strongly-worded comments about those Americans who opt to vote for President Barack Obama in November. In a column and video that was posted by Catholic Times, the official newspaper of the Diocese of Springfield, Paprocki targeted portions of the Democratic platform that “explicitly endorse intrinsic evils.” He also warned that supporting certain politicians could place peoples’ “eternal salvation…in jeopardy.”

While he noted that it’s not his job to to tell people who do vote for, the faith leader said that he has a duty to speak out about moral issues. Despite his stated problems with the Democratic Party platform — the initial removal of God, its stance abortion and its support of gay marriage – Paprocki spoke relatively favorably of the Republican platform.

I seem to remember, about 16 to 18 years ago, having a conversation with a few of my great-aunts on my father's side, and I was saying this exact point.  Didn't sway them in the least.  It (the truth as told by the bishop cited) needs to be stressed, over and over.

Run-of-the-mill Catholics will continue voting mostly DemonRat until major DemonRat politicians that claim to be Catholic are excommunicated.
