Catholic voters heavily favored Obama, analysis shows

Jesus said: Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Matthew 7:13-23

I am not sure what you are trying to say m. Shalom, but if you are quoting the bible, you are quoting words interpreted by a monk/monks who decided which non-female writings supported their beliefs. ..and remember..even the devil can quote scripture. The bible separates and divides people in this world and it's literal translation the cause of much butchery and terrorism. If you are using this to call down Obama then I would be worried about you on the street when he is out there. It could be scary. I hope you have a good shabas.

WOW, Maranatha, that is just crazy stuff you're quoting now. A bad tree can bear good fruit and a good tree can bear bad fruit in both literal and figurative senses. Maybe it's time to lay off the scripture and start studying science and genealogy.

I always found Song of Solomon, 5:4 (KJV) inspirational: "My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him."

bottom line - Catholics did the right thing -

That was because of Biden, and other elitist illuminati. However, they couldn't have gone soley on faith, because of all the issues the liberals were for.

I believe the election of Democrat Barack Obama signals a new and much needed era of democracy in the United States, replacing the long broken Republican era of George W. Bush. Obama could not have made a better choice than Joseph Biden, now the Vice-President elect, who has had a long and distinguished career as the Democratic Senator from Delaware. Joe Biden is a man of integrity and a good catholic, notwithstanding the hammering he has taken in recent months from some ultra-conservative, fundamentalist leaning and single issue bishops who have spoken out so vehemently against him and President elect Barack Obama. Fortunately, most catholics did not vote on the abortion issue. They voted on the entire spectrum of life issues; hunger, poverty, unemployment, unjust trade practices, racism, sexism, human rights violations, trafficking in women and children, etc., etc., etc. It is important to keep in mind that as a U.S. Senator, Joseph Biden has an unequaled records in many if not all of these areas. Perhaps the election of Joe Biden as VP will give more publicity and exposure to Delaware's landmark legislation, the Child Victims Law which became effective on July 10, 2007 removing all criminal and civil statutes of limitation in regard to the sexual abuse of children and opening a two year legislative window for bringing forward previously time barred cases of child abuse by anyone, no matter his or her color, creed, orientation or religious affiliation. It is time that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops stopped blowing smoke, stopped scapegoating men with a homosexual orientation, stopped blaming them for the church's sex abuse scandals, curtailed their sexist attitude toward women barring them from priesthood because of an indefensible "they don't look like Jesus" position. Who didn't know men and women were different? Or is the Reverend Fernando Cristancho, a priest from Columbia incardinated in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, who talked some women into bearing his children by way of in vitro fertilization and now stands criminally charged in Maryland of abusing two of his triplets, just another rogue homosexual priest? And Iowa's Bishop Lawrence D. Soens isn't guilty of serial child sexual abuse either, I suppose. Sister Maureen Paul Turlish Abuse Victims' Advocate New Castle, Delaware maureenpaulturlish@yahoo.com
