Obama's Transgressions May Cause the Catholic Church to Beatify a Mormon

President Barack Obama may rue the day he picked a fight with the Catholic Church and its millions of followers. The Anointed One has spit on one of their house specialties and has aroused the anger of the kitchen help:

Catholic leaders are furious and determined to harness the voting power of the nation’s 70 million Catholic voters to stop a provision of President Barack Obama’s new heath care reform bill that will force Catholic schools, hospitals and charities to buy birth control pills, abortion-producing drugs and sterilization coverage for their employees.

“Never before, unprecedented in American history, for the federal government to line up against the Roman Catholic Church,” said Catholic League head Bill Donohue.

Already Archbishop Timothy Dolan has spoken out against the law and priests around the country have mobilized, reading letters from the pulpit. Donohue said Catholic officials will stop at nothing to put a stop to it.

“This is going to be fought out with lawsuits, with court decisions, and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets,” Donohue said.

Congratulations Obama. You have just united the cafeteria Catholics. Let’s take a look at how they voted in the past three general elections, courtesy of the Pew Research Center:

I believe this might be the first time the Catholic Church beatified a Mormon.
