If you can walk past burning babies in the streets of a war zone to condemn a scared young woman at an abortion clinic, I believe you’re sacrilegious.

If you can ignore the tens upon tens of thousands of children who do not have enough to eat, and no medical insurance, and schooling that has been gutted by a policy designed to funnel money into the coffers of the pResident’s brother and little else, then I believe you’re sacrilegious.

If you can ignore the wholesale theft of money from people who can’t afford to pay the light bill in order to bail out multimillionaire bankers, I’d say you’re sacrilegious.

Ladies and Gentleman, meet the Rev. Joseph Illo, sacrilegious scum. When will we finally realize that these charlatans have become a bunch of power hungry bastards, and start making them pay TAXES on their ill-gotten gains?

Parishioners of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Modesto have been told they should consider going to confession if they voted for Barack Obama, because of the president-elect’s position condoning abortion.

“If you are one of the 54 percent of Catholics who voted for a pro-abortion candidate, you were clear on his position and you knew the grav- ity of the question, I urge you to go to confession before receiving communion. Don’t risk losing your state of grace by receiving sacrilegiously,” the Rev. Joseph Illo, pastor of St. Joseph’s, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 21.

The letter was sent to more than 15,000 members of the St. Joseph’s parish. It is one of 34 parishes in the Stockton Diocese, which has more than 200,000 members in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and four other counties.

Illo also delivered this message in a homily.

Though Obama’s support of abortion rights angered many Catholics nationally during the campaign, Illo’s letter is believed to be the first in Central California from a priest to his parishioners on the topic.

The Most Rev. Stephen Blaire, bishop of the Stockton Diocese, disagrees with Illo. He said Catholics should not feel compelled to disclose how they voted to their priest.

Blaire said Catholics who carefully weighed many issues and settled on a candidate, such as Obama, who was supportive of abortion rights, were not in need of confession. He said confession would be necessary “only if someone voted for a pro-abortion or pro-choice candidate — if that’s the reason you voted for them.”

“Our position on pro-life is very important, but there are other issues,” Blaire said. “No one candidate reflects everything that we stand for. I’m sure that most Catholics who voted were voting on economic issues.

I include Rev Blaire’s response as that of someone who is NOT sacrilegious.

Let us take the insane wingtard “logic” of Rev. Illo to its obvious destination. According to Illo’s way of thinking, because a few Catholic Priests have participated in child molestation, then anyone who associates with the Church overall is now guilty of sacrilege and should now seek to cleanse him or herself through confession.

See how easy it is to take one issue and throw a big blanket? I’m sick to death of these Jesusistani hypocritical scumbags.
