Race Before Religion

This is just another example of a black in a high profile position folding under pressure from other blacks. Bishop J. Terry Steib of the Memphis Catholic diocese has issued a statement telling local Catholics not to vote on just one issue. In other words forget everything we've said in the past and take everything you feel into consideration this time. Indirectly telling black, left leaning, Catholic, liberals it's okay to vote for Barack Obama. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/oct/23/dont-base-vote-on-1-issue-bishop-02/

I'm not much on the Catholic faith, but it's usually one of discipline and tradition. After other priest in Dallas and Fort Worth Tx. and Scranton Pa. spoke out against any candidate who supports abortion. As a black Catholic Steib had to break ranks. Since Barack Obama is pro abortion, among other things Catholics teach against. Bishop Steib felt compelled to make a statement. He has held his position as bishop for the last two elections. What's different about this one? Other than the fact that one of the candidates running is black. Look what he was saying in 2000.http://www.solidgroundministry.com/sg_news/black_catholic_vigil_for_life_2000.htm

Bishop J. Terry Steib has been mysteriously absent since he made the infamous comment. He has joined hands with people like Father Flegler. Who made those controversial comments during the primary. Lately we've experienced a rash of outspoken priest. This may come back to haunt them if Obama doesn't win. Bishop Stein is just one of many men of the cloth who have put their race before religion.
