"You can't be a Catholic and a Democrat"

For anyone who has been bored to death listening to Sunday sermons from pastors who seemingly have no imagination when it comes to preaching to their congregants each week, pay attention to the name James Altman – "Father" James Altman, that is, the priest from St. James the Less parish in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

This is a man who has had, and continues to have, the courage to speak what he believes is important for the salvation of his parishioners, despite the waves it may cause.

He has not only made waves, he's caused a tsunami of reaction that is reverberating through the Catholic Church.

What did he do?

Everything hit the fan after the sermon he presented to his parish last fall. He stated his beliefs, and the parishioners gave him a standing ovation! His reaction to that, as he explained to John-Henry Westen of LifeSite News: "The faithful know one thing above all: that I love my people, and I will feed my people in word and in sacrament."

What caused the uproar can been seen and heard in his 10-minute video, "You can't be a Catholic and a Democrat." He calls that a "no-brainer" and asserts that the church bishops and leaders must recognize that for their own personal integrity and that "any shepherd who doesn't say that [should] get out of the Catholic Church."

Father Altman wasted no words in his criticism of the Democratic platform concerning abortion: "There will be 60 million aborted babies standing at the gates of Heaven barring your entrance."

"Here's a memo for clueless, baptized Catholics out there: you cannot be a Catholic and be a Democrat, period. Their party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic Church teaches, especially its teaching that abortion is a 'moral evil.'"

Hello, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and so many others.

As a result of that sermon, Father Altman is castigated as a "right-wing priest" – and he has given his critics more ammunition with his criticisms of the COVID vaccines, the shutting down of churches and denying the sacraments during the pandemic, plus his other opinions concerning the DACA program giving citizenship to illegal aliens.

Clearly, he is not afraid of controversy, and he is a man who stands by his opinions.

And, clearly, his views have garnered worldwide interest. It's estimated that the videos of his sermons have been seen by at least 1.5 million viewers.
