I don't think any priest is "nutty" for being for Obama - he just happens to believe that Obama reflects more of the Christian faith than McCain, so what?I find it crazy that people should think that any one candidate totally reflects what any one religion is all about. People in general don't follow to the letter everything the hierarchy in their religion tells them to. American Catholics are a great example of that. In general, they believe in many of the fundamentals, but disagree on several things: whether women should be priests, whether priests should marry, birth control, abortion rights, etc. Should they not receive communion because they don't believe the Pope is correct on this? If priests denied communion to everyone that disagreed with some of the tenants of the RCC, then Overstock.com would have to start selling communion wafers, because there would be a huge surplus. After all, McCain cheated on his wife with other women, divorced his first wife to marry a younger woman, etc. How is that reflective of the ideals of the RCC?Again, it is very telling that 54% of Catholics voted for Obama.
