Oh no way am I calling all Catholics douchebags, and I don't appreciate that assumption. Some of my dearest friends and family members are Catholic (including my best friend). There are some things I love about the church and some of my best memories are in the church. Hell, 11 years ago it helped me kick cigarettes because I needed to give up something for Lent. I gave up cigarettes and haven't touched one since.
I just think that priest is an extremist. Is he gonna ask every parishoner "you voted for Obama? No? Proceed. Yes? GTF outta my communion line!"
None of his business and he IMO is making the church look bad
