Catholic Congressional Votes on the HCB: We might be in trouble...

A blog I frequent (listed in the sidebar) is Musings of a Pertinacious Papist. Well, he recently had a very interesting take on the way Catholic Congressmen voted on the recent Obama-Care bill; and we might just be in trouble:

There are a whopping nine faithful Catholics in Congress who oppose the public funding of abortion. That's really good news. Faithful, shining witnesses to the truth of the Gospel. Nine. Out of 136 Catholics in Congress. The rest of whom support the public funding of abortion.

Let me see ... When Abraham was negotiating with God on the number of righteous men in Sodom for the sake of which God would not destroy it, how many was the minimum, do you remember?

Genesis 18:32 --
Then [Abraham] said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" And [the Lord] answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it."

Oh, crap.

Oh crap is right! 9!? That is it? Really? 9? That was just on the first vote... other bills and votes weren't as good.
