Father James Altman, a pastor from St. James the Less Catholic parish in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, is urging Catholics not to support the Democratic Party, which he labeled as ‘godless.’
According to Religion News Service, Altman’s remarks were made in a video that was published last week by Alpha News, an online news outlet based in Minnesota. At the time of this writing, the video has nearly 400,000 views.
“Here’s a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there: You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period,” Altman asserted.
“Their party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic church teaches,” he added. “So just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell.”
As Altman speaks, the video cuts to images of prominent Democrats including professing Catholics, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The photo of Pelosi shows her speaking at an abortion rally.
“And so, we can see in the many godless politicians, in the godless educational system, in the godlessness of so many ‘sheeples,’ they are most definitely not serving him, they are not fulfilling their purpose in life,” Altman contended.
Regarding people who don’t believe that politics have a place in the Catholic church, Altman says “baloney.”
