Bartcop Family Catholic Consigliere
Shocker
I was in St Louis over the
holidays.
While
driving around with the senior Bartcop Family Catholic Consigliere, we
talked about
a lot of things. It was Saturday, but being a dumbass who can't keep
track of a calendar
I thought it was Sunday, so I asked him when he was going to Mass.
He
said, "I
stopped going to Church."
It was all I could do to keep from driving off the damn road.
I asked what was up with that and he said:
"The Church told me
I wasn't allowed to vote for Obama because of the abortion issue,
which
means I could only vote for the party that wants to dismantle the
safety net for
the
150 million Americans that are doing all they can to make ends meet."
I
could hardly believe my ears.
Hey Catholics, I got a thunderbolt for you:
If
you lost THIS guy, you've lost
everybody.
You
know how most kids want to be a fireman or astronaut when they grow up?
Not this guy - all he ever wanted to be was a priest - since longer
than I've been alive.
If
you can't keep THIS guy in the flock, you
have no f-ing flock.
I'd like to take credit for "turning"
him, but he doesn't even read the page.
The Catholics have been taken over by right-wing idiots from Benny the Rat on down.
I still can't believe you lost THIS guy.
