FIRE & BRIMSTONE, GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT!

The Catholic Church may begin circulating a video urging followers to vote against marriage equality, abortion rights, and health care policy.

A video shows a blacksmith forging "plans," so to speak, for the economy and jobs, but the video asks, whether all that building will be done in vain.

"Catholics across the nation will be put to the test," the spot says. A moment later, graphic text reads, "Marriage should be reinforced, not redefined...Your vote will affect the future and be recorded in eternity."

The video then asks, "Will you value the votes that will stand the test of fire?" next to the blacksmith's metal sculptures of the words "marriage," "life," and "freedom."

5. I think it's way past time for the IRS to end tax exempt status. Period.

The Catholic church has repeatedly crossed lines on things like birth control and marriage rights - and religious institutions in general have done nothing more than preach hate and become mouth pieces for the GOP. Their free ride is over if you ask me.
