The rap on Obama during the primaries was that he couldn't win because he struggled with Catholics. Apparently, he got past that. Early exit polls indicate he won 54% of the Catholic vote compared to 45% for John McCain. George W. Bush won the Catholic vote 52%-46%.
He also improved among white Catholics, according to the early exit polls. Bush got 56%-43% As of now, McCain lead by just 51%-49%
This was despite an aggressive push by more than 50 Bishops to encourage Catholics to focus on abortion as the central issue.

P.S. If you read Matthew 4/6 you will see and be able to read that the devil quoted the scriptures correctly, word for word.
Pius the X, and the XI, as well as Leo XIII, warned the Church about the errors of modernism. Since then neo modernism, post modernism, secular humanism, relativism have completely inundated the Church, further discussion is useless. We have all made our choices and with those choices come responsibility and accountability, in the end we have not the wisdom to decide that will be up to God. When we all kneel before the judgement seat of our Lord Jesus Christ the truth will finally be known not before.____God Bless Us All__deacon joseph

Sounds all rather self-righteous to me......and I think Christ condemned that quite specifically......kinda went out with a wimper and running backwards, hiding behind some papal generalities and an old testement scriptural quotation that either has nothing to do with the discussion or is highly arrogant.
I expect the new president to create a polarization and not a unification of the United States. Unfortunately so much of politics is based on race. Benjamin D'Israeli said that ALL politics are based on race. I suppose he meant that we all have an ethnic agenda when it comes to the body politic. I am not advocating that this is necessarily a bad thing. I am saying that many fence sitters will now start choosing a side... a wonderful catalyst to the millions of apathetic Americans who have allowed themselves to be dispossed from their birthright. Every tribe or ethnic group has a devine right to live and procreate their genotype. To remove those conditions is tantamount to genocide, is it not? As I look around me I see the last bastions of what once was America crumbling before the new world. Sad. Perhaps Obama will be the one who brings sanity to the majority American voter for future elections... if we have any.
