FR. TERRY ODIEN CONTRIBUTES TO BARACK OBAMA CAMPAIGN

Contributed by Leah

As an interesting side note, while identifying the mystery priest in the previous piece as Fr. Terry Odien, I stumbled upon this: click for the Huffington Post link

So, despite Catholic Church teachings generally and Bishop Galante's very clear recent messages related to the issue of abortion and "Forming Consciences," Fr. Terry Odien has contributed $300 to Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign.  And no, this isn't another person with the same name, as the occupation is listed as "Clergy" and the employer as "Diocese of Camden." The address is listed as 405B Cypress Point Circle, Mt. Laurel, NJ. Tax records confirm that this property is co-owned by Terry Odien and another man named Kenneth Doran.

Fr. Terry Odien cannot even get the pro-life/pro-choice decision correct AS A PRIEST (not to mention the stupid factor of doing it publicly).  He should have NO ROLE in ANY DECISION affecting any priest or parish in this Diocese. 

Bishop Galante, we again await your response.

Support the Campaign!

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."
