Molochite Catholics
Not the legitimate Melkite Catholics... but the bastard Molochite Catholics

A sad statistic from my home state. From The California Catholic Daily;
“Molochite Catholics”
Eighty percent of California Catholics in the U.S. House defied the Church by voting in favor of the sacrifice of children for embryonic stem cell research

In ancient times, pagans and idolatrous Israelites offered human sacrifices by throwing babies and young children into fires as holocaust offerings to the false god Moloch. In A.D. 2007, neo-pagan and idolatrous “Molochite Catholics” are determined to offer young children -- individual human beings in the embryonic stage of their lives -- as sacrifices to the possibility that cannibalizing their stem cells will provide cures for other human beings.

On June 7, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 247-176 to pass Senate Bill 5, sponsored by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, allowing human embryonic stem cell research. California’s congressional delegation, the nation’s largest, voted 41-11 to pass the bill. Sixteen of the 41 identify themselves as “Catholic” -- 15 Democrats and one Republican.

Not one California Democrat, regardless of religious affiliation, voted against this modern-day version of child sacrifice. Of the seven Republicans who voted in favor of Reid’s bill, one identifies himself as Catholic.

Altogether, 16 of California’s 20 Catholics in the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of embryonic stem cell research. Just four Catholics, all Republicans, opposed the bill.

Thus, 80 percent of California Catholics in the U.S. House voted against the clear, unequivocal teachings of the Catholic Church, in which they claim membership. If the 16 “Molochite Catholics” who voted for child sacrifice had voted instead to follow the teachings of their Church, the vote of the California congressional delegation would have been 27-25 against the bill.

Catholic Democrats voting in favor of the bill:
Joe Baca, San Bernardino
Xavier Becerra, Los Angeles
Dennis Cardoza, Merced, Modesto, Stockton
Jim Costa, Fresno, Bakersfield
Anna Eshoo, Palo Alto
Gerald McNerney, Pleasanton
George Miller, Concord, Richmond, Vallejo
Grace F. Napolitano, Santa Fe Springs
Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco
Lucy Roybal-Allard, Los Angeles
Linda Sanchez, Cerritos
Loretta Sanchez, Garden Grove
Ellen Tauscher, Walnut Creek, Antioch, Fairfield
Mike Thompson, Napa, Fort Bragg, Eureka, Woodland
Diane Watson, Los Angeles

Anyone care to lay a bet that absolutely nothing will happen to any of these "Catholic" politicians? Anyone?? And it's also simply beyond me how any faithful Catholic could even associate themselves with the Democratic Party.
