At Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Fairfield, the Rev. Sebastian Meyer used the church to stage Yes on 8 efforts, such as handing out lawn signs. After the election, he publicly chastised a parishioner for having a car decorated with Obama signs.

"I don't even care who Obama is," Meyer said, according to Elizabeth Caster, the parishioner whose car was singled out. "We can't have stuff like that here."

Caster, 39, told The Chronicle she was humiliated and felt chased out of the church because of her views. The Diocese of Sacramento confirmed her account. Meyer, who declined comment to The Chronicle, wrote her a letter of apology this week.

But isn't it time that you guys started?
