You Are Going To Hell

But not for the reason you think. Check out what a Catholic priest in California says about people who voted for Obama:
A Roman Catholic priest has told parishioners they should confess if they voted for Barack Obama because the president-elect supports abortion. The Rev. Joseph Illo says his parishioners at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Modesto shouldn't risk losing their "state of grace" by receiving communion sacrilegiously. He delivered the message in a Nov. 21 letter and during mass. In an interview this week with the Modesto Bee, Illo says he sent the letter because Catholic teaching requires that people go to confession when they commit a mortal sin. During the 2008 campaign, many bishops told Catholic politicians and voters that abortion should be the most important consideration in deciding which candidate to back.
What's one more mortal sin when the list is already a hundred pages long?

RELATED: I think I last went to confession about 38 years ago and I totally made up fake sins to confess because I didn't dare confess my impure thoughts about the boys in my class. And I never really said my penance, I'd just sit there and hum the Supreme's Up The Ladder To The Roof for what I thought was an appropriate amount of time.
