Wanna be appalled?
Listen to this story about a Catholic being denied communion because he endorsed Obama.

Not appalled?

First of all, it is impossible to agree 100% on every issue with any candidate. You have to decide which issues are important to you and whether those fit with what the candidate offers. That's how we should all vote in a perfect world...

This Priest who denied the guy communion seems to not be able to realize this. What's worse, is that he is denying a member of his faith a very important element of that faith on the grounds of a personal disagreement about an issue which, as weighty as it may seem, is derivative in terms of the act of communion. I mean, denying communion, in parts of the world, is an act tantamount to excommunication, which is a pretty big deal.

Am I surprised by all of this? No. People are generally petty, even religious leaders.
But I'm sort of angry about it because many of my fellow human beings are blindly choosing to follow leaders of this caliber. Of course, this isn't as bad as child molestation, but what kind of leadership is the catholic church providing with idiots like this guy at the pulpit?
