A controversial church handout in Old Town claiming it’s a mortal sin to vote for a Democrat was a response to a report that another pastor urged his flock to back Democrats.

That genesis was described Saturday outside the church by Larry Greenbank, a member of , which he called a “loose collaborative group of faithful and informed Catholics.”

Greenbank said that group of conservative lay people felt it was their obligation to counteract the “vote-Democratic” stance of an unspecified Roman Catholic pastor “in the north part of town.”Ecclesia Militans

The flier, distributed Oct. 16 in the bulletin of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church led by the Rev. Richard Perozich, drew an outside protest in front of the Old Town church before Saturday evening Mass.

1. You might want to send this info to the SPLC

They sound like a hate group to me.

Faithful and informed Catholics my pigs eye! Their idea of faithful Catholicism coincides perfectly with far right talking points. They're ultraconservative hate first hiding behind the Catholic Church.
