It's not just the abortion issue, it also is the homosexual marriage issue. That is one of the Five non-negotiatable points that a couple of Catholic Voter guides have -- Homosexuality is not permitted. Three of the other four are abortion, euthanasia, and stem cell research.

The sanctity of Human Life is important in the Catholic Church.

In the article are some interesting poll numbers: [Especially considering Kerry is a Catholic (or claims to be) and Bush is a United Methodist.]

Zogby International found that 60% of Catholics in Minnesota were likely to vote for Bush, while 36% for Kerry (August Telephone poll) -- my paraphrasing.

Polls from Battleground states by Zogby showed that only in New Mexico and Nevada were Catholics more likely to vote for Kerry than Bush.

This poll showed Catholics favored Bush in Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

There was another poll (by Pew Research Center) that showed the president with 49% to 39% advantage among Catholics.

A final poll by California-based Barna Research Group (released September 27), revealed that Catholic voters had shifted with 53% to 39% in favor of Bush.

These poll results are all from the article.

Pentacostal faiths follw the Bible on abortion and homosexual stuff. I can't comprehend how my friend who professes to be a born again Spirit filled tongue talking Christian can support canidates who are everything the Lord GOD forbids.
