I think that a theological point could be made that it might depend on WHY you voted for the candidate you did - what are the candidates' postions on capital punishment, for example - but ultimately, it is a case of a Roman Catholic bishop warning Roman Catholic members of a possible consequence of voting for Obama. I don't agree with it, but I'm not a Roman Catholic. It doesn't affect anyone BUT Roman Catholics, and since being a Roman Catholic is a voluntary choice, I don't think that it is worth non-Roman Catholics getting upset about. However, if Roman Catholics think he has overstepped his bounds, I think that is something they should take up with higher-ups.
