Diocese Repudiates Catholic Priest
who said Obama supporters should not seek Communion
A Roman Catholic diocese in South Carolina officially repudiated a priest Friday after he told his parishioners that people who voted for Barack Obama had supported the 'intrinsic evil' of abortion and should not seek Communion.
Father Jay Scott Newman, writing in the weekly bulletin of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville, S.C., called Obama 'the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the United States Senate or to run for president.'
'Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ's Church and under the judgment of divine law,' Newman wrote."

BROTHERS
I’ve been big sister
All my life,
Seen trials and tears
Much love and strife.
I took some hits,
The biggest and tall,
For the love of them,
My siblings, small.
But once again,
I’m called to fight
For little brothers
With all my might.
My little brothers,
Fathers they be,
Need sisters older,
Judiths like me
To walk behind,
While men do scorn
And praise these priests
And blow their horn,
To give support,
As they help others,
And back them up,
My cassocked brothers.
But how you hate,
You say to me,
These other Christs
That live for He.
With that, my hair
Stands up on end
For born a Catholic
I will defend.
You better run,
You better hide,
To bully His Blood
I won’t abide.
With sacrifice
And daily Mass,
Big sister, I,
Will kick your…
…as I was saying,
To all them others…
Don’t mess with Judith’s
Little brothers!!
(Father Jay Scott Newman,"he ain't heavy,he's my..." little, brother)
