The Kansas City Star notes that of the six Catholic candidates running for president, Kansas Republican Sam Brownback’s positions on issues align the closest with those of the church. The five whose positions are farther apart are Republican Rudy Giuliani and Democrats Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd and Dennis Kucinich. The issue arose recently when Roman Catholic Archbishop Raymond Burke said again that Holy Communion should be denied to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights.

Brownback should get used to being alone: attending his campaign rallies alone, donating money to his campaign alone, voting for himself alone . . . lots of Catholics vote for candidates who are demonized by extremist priests – this is old news.
Since Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, loved the Nazi teachings and practices back in the 1930s and early 1940s, it’s no wonder that Sam is on his own and the other candidates don’t care to check things out. These are the books and materials that Sanger wrote:

I used to think the Catholic Church was a good church. After all they cared about the poor and they educated generations of immigrants and poor children in this country. They even took black kids when few private schools would. But it seems that they are being taken over by the Republican party too. In recent years they have turned against the poor. They have turned a blind eye towards the sexual violations of their own priest- even with little boys. They have become a shill for the Republicans and turned against the very working class people they once stood up for.
Amen to that, Kev.
And funny how you don’t hear that PRO-LIFE Rudy has been refused communion by some stick-up-the-butt Archbishop somewhere like Kerry was . . .
My admittedly limited understanding of religon given, this makes little sense to me.
“Agree and accept A B and C and then eat of my flesh and drink of my blood.”?
This reminds me of the movie “Caddyshack”. The priest tells young Danny Noonan about the outreach program and scholarships and all the wonderful things available to him. Noonan then says, “Well, I’m not Catholic.”
Then the priest says, “Oh, well then I’m afraid you can’t come.”
“Caddyshack” . . . perhaps the funniest movie ever made.
Right up there with “Some Like It Hot,” “Animal House” and the original “MASH.”
Oh, yeah, and “Stripes.”
Can’t forget that one–
Bill Murray to babe sitting on the oven: “What? You’ve never had the Aunt Jemimah treatment?”
brownstain should do everything alone. He is a joke of a “man”
I definitely concur about M.A.S.H, Capn.

Hotlips O’Houlihan: Oh my God! They’ve shot him.
Colonel Blake: Hot Lips, you incredible nincompoop. It’s the end of the quarter.
Just to keep this on thread…O’Houlihan–definitely Catholic. ;)
Don’t forget the cheer:
69 is divine, 69 is divine
LOL Dennis!!
“Okay, bub, your f***ing head is coming right off.”
(The football game was the highlight of the movie, for me. Can you tell?)
However, a more appropriate comment for the group here would be when Hotlips asked something like, How did a degenerate person like that attain the rank of Captain in the U.S. Army?
Answer: He was drafted.
The Catholic Church is no more hypocritical than any other church. All organized religions have elements of hypocrisy.
Mary,
In that case, every organization and person has elements of hypocrisy.
Since we are making broad general statements.
