| Catholic priest says Democrats are going to hell ‐ and Texas bishop backs him up |
| 2020-09-09 |
| [Fort Worth Star-Telegram] A Wisconsin priest who condemned Catholic Democrats has the support of a Texas bishop. Father James Altman, pastor of St. James the Less Catholic Church, lashed out at Father James Martin, who participated in the Democratic National Convention. In a 10-minute video posted to YouTube, Altman called the priest a "hyper, confusing spreading heretic" and had harsh words toward Democrats. "Here is a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there: You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period," Altman said in the video posted Aug. 30. "The party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic Church teaches, so just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell." Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland tweeted his endorsement of Altman’s statement. "My shame is that it has taken me so long," Strickland said Sept. 5 of the video. "Thank You Fr. Altman for your COURAGE." |

| #3 The Democrats, especially this bunch, are extremely pro-abortion at any time for any reason, up until the moment of birth, and including leaving to die if the baby survives the abortion attempt. Add to that the attacks on the protypical family, traditional marriage, and trying to make anyone that has conscience objections (like Catholics) against the progressive mantra of "anything goes" (including apparently pedophilia)... Yes, you cannot be a practicing Catholic (eligible for communion), and support the modern Democrat party. But you are not irredeemable. Confess the sins, make contrition, and try not to sin, and in the future (starting immediately) avoid the near occasion of sin. This includes avoiding supporting Democrat party politicians that ultimately support anti-Catholic policies such as elective abortion on demand, euthanasia, and the forcing of acceptance of deviant sexual acts under penalty of the law. |

| #2 Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell. Maybe a lot sooner than you think if the Democrats win. |
