Good Video for Catholic Voters (and others)
Catholic Vote 2008 ^ | 9/18/2008 | Grassroots Films

Posted on 09/19/2008 6:24:20 AM PDT by livius

This is an excellent, powerful pro-life, pro-faith video directed at Catholic voters. I think non-Catholics of faith will also be interested in it.


TOPICS: Catholic; Current Events
KEYWORDS: abortion; catholicvote; elections; fauxcatholics; pelosi; prolife; voting

One of the biggest tips..don’t listen to Pelosi and Biden when it comes to Church doctrine.

Exactly. Another thing I liked about the video is that it says that there are many issues that are important - but none is more important than life.

Notice near the end it shows a DEMOCRATIC ballot. I don’t know that it was significant.

What are you saying? I don't quite understand your comment.

I don’t know that the ballot is significant, but historically, Catholics vote dem. Correct me if I am wrong.

I think it was. The party that is not pro-life is, of course, the Dems - and it is also the party to which most Catholics belong. This was meant to give them something to think about.

Okay ... I get it now. Yes, historically Catholics have been Dem. But the further down the culture of death road the Dems go, more Catholics are starting to lean right. It’s a cultural thing. A lot of Catholics in our history were poor immigrants and were the brunt of discrimination. They saw something in the Dem party of that era that appealed to them. Through the generations, a lot of cultural Catholics have stuck with the party of their fathers and grandfathers, blindly following party lines.

I would also add that Catholics that take their faith seriously, tend to vote Repub. Those that like to pick and choose what they believe (cafeteria Catholics) and disagree with a lot of Church teachings ... they’re the ones that are still voting Dem. And there are an awful lot of them, unfortunately. Take Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy and Kerry, for example.

Catholics have been instructed by the Pope and the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops to vote Republican and pro-life! We can thank Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden! LOL!

  5. ... Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, chairman of the Committee on Doctrine, joined him
  6. Cardinal Edward Egan of New York publised a strongly worded statement of his own

  8. Bishop David Zubik of Pittsburgh and...
  9. ... Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs have chimed-in

  24. Archbishop George Niederauer of San Francisco has invited Pelosi to a "conversation"
  25. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn: "Judging the Candidates"

{Last updated on September 10th.}

Notes:

  • Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
  • Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
  • #26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

I thank you. I am pleased to see Catholics and all decent people leaving the party/cult of death. The defenseless seem to be gaining ground.

IMO, they’re pointing out that the Democrat candidates are the party of abortion. Put aside your feelings on the other issues, life of the unborn is much more important.

Should give everyone something to think about.

The Democrat party has become a cesspool of abortionists, anti-Americans and homo’s.

It seems the ‘ethicist’ has borrowed from the Groningen Protocol.

Not to worry. Stopping the Murder of the innocent is my #1 priority.
