Catholic bishop: Voting for Obama jeopardizes the ‘eternal salvation of your own soul’ (VIDEO)

[hue]

A Catholic bishop from Springfield, Illinois is warning that the stakes for the 2012 election are even higher than most people think because voting for President Barack Obama could damn “you own soul” to hell.

In a column and video posted by the official newspaper of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and obtained by Right Wing Watch on Wednesday, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki called out the Democratic Party for temporarily removing God from their platform, supporting abortion and recognizing that “gay rights are human rights.”

“There are many positive and beneficial planks in the Democratic Party Platform, but I am pointing out those that explicitly endorse intrinsic evils,” the bishop explained. “My job is not to tell you for whom you should vote. But I do have a duty to speak out on moral issues. I would be abdicating this duty if I remained silent out of fear of sounding ‘political’ and didn’t say anything about the morality of these issues. People of faith object to these platform positions that promote serious sins.”

a regular night of poker in Hell because I'll defiantly be seeing you there.

3. Gee, I wonder how the Bishop intends to cast his vote? hmmmmmmmm?

4. Very dangerous territory to mention a specific candidate,

or even Party. That is crossing the line into endorsing a particular candidate. Somebody in the church needs to defute that, or they are liable to get their tax exempt status revoked.

5. That's funny. I thought being a Catholic Bishop did that.

6. What does raping children and covering up for rapists

so they can rape again do to your soul.

Oh wait, you would have actually have a soul in the first place....

[DeSwiss]

7. These frauds should be arrested for their cons. Damn! n/t

8. Please tell me this isn't the one who gave The Prayer at the DNC...Please.

When the Nuns on the Bus got a spiffy little cameo.

9. Balance the Budget --Tax Churches!

[Norbert]

10. So I ask the 'good' bishop

What should I do? Vote for a person that in your words 'jeopardizes the eternal salvation of my soul’ or vote for a person that has no soul.

I know what I will do and the 'good' bishop is not going to be very happy about this.

11. I learned long ago not to listen to them (priests). Question everything, retain what is good.

12. Time to put the heirarchy on 'ignore' again. nt.
