Christian right-wingers are now sharing a 10-minute video of a Catholic pastor claiming that being a Democrat means being “Godless.”
In the video, Rev. James Altman, pastor of Lacrosse, Wisconsin’s St. James the Less Catholic parish, is seen ranting about Catholics who choose to be Democrats.
“Here’s a memo for clueless, baptized Catholics out there,” Altman rants.
“You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period.”
He says no real Catholics voted for Barack Obama, a “godless politician who had the audacity to blaspheme and say, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood,’ the most racist organization on the face of this planet. Founded to wipe out black babies.”
He also calls the Southern Poverty Law Center “one of the most godless, communist, anti-American left-wing radical organizations in the United States.” Black Lives Matter, he says, is “Marxist.” Climate change? A “hoax.” DACA recipients? “Criminal illegal aliens.”
He then goes on to refer to Donald Trump as “the one best pro-life president.”
“So just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat,” Father Altman says. “Repent of your support of that party or face the fires of hell.”
“There will be 60 million, and counting, aborted babies standing at the gates of heaven barring your Democrat entrance and nothing you can say whatever excuse you for your direct or indirect support of that diabolical agenda.”
Altman also says “there are way too many people who don’t know the first thing about Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”
