Catholic priest says Democrats are going to hell ‐ and Texas bishop backs him up
[Fort Worth Star-Telegram] A Wisconsin priest who condemned Catholic Democrats has the support of a Texas bishop.Father James Altman, pastor of St. James the Less Catholic Church, lashed out at Father James Martin, who participated in the Democratic National Convention. In a 10-minute video posted to YouTube, Altman called the priest a "hyper, confusing spreading heretic" and had harsh words toward Democrats. "Here is a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there: You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period," Altman said in the video posted Aug. 30. "The party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic Church teaches, so just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell." Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland tweeted his endorsement of Altman’s statement. "My shame is that it has taken me so long," Strickland said Sept. 5 of the video. "Thank You Fr. Altman for your COURAGE." Posted by: Besoeker 2020-09-09 |
