October 24, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - With only days remaining before the November 4 U.S. election, a tally has shown that over a quarter of America's bishops have published articles, issued statements or given interviews where they have declared that the most important issue for voters in their choice of a new president is the candidate’s stance on abortion.

They are right. Without life, we have nothing and are nothing.
When are the bishops going to order priests to stop serving communion to politicians who support the murder of babies?
Just what is taking so long?
They may have to take some serious measures if Obama gets in.
“When are the bishops going to order priests to stop serving communion to politicians who support the murder of babies?”
When are the Catholics going to stop voting for the leftist?
Why only 50? Too late now they’ve all come to the table a little too late. If clergy had been doing their job all along the Catholic vote would not be up for grabs. Shame on those who have remained silent or follow the social justice theory.
“If we do not protect life, there is no reason to fight for any other cause.”
You can’t have a social program if there’s not going to be anyone alive to need it.
Agree
Catholics who support abortion are comming a grave sin. They excommunicate themselves. Do a search for The Catechism of the Catholic Church on line and find out.
They (the CINOs) know they cannot approach for Communion.
Any lists of bishops avaialble there. I don’t go there because they dump stuff on my computer.
Catholics across the nation have taken the message pro-life to heart, as their pastors have repeatedly called on them to make the right to life the defining issue and to vote accordingly.
Bishop Robert Hermann of St. Louis wrote in the archdiocesan newspaper last Friday that “the issue of life is the most basic issue and must be given priority over the issue of the economy, the issue of war or any other issue.”
“Saving our children or killing our children. This,” wrote the Bishop Hermann in the St. Louis Review, “is the overriding issue facing each of us. All other issues ... have to take second place to the issue of life.”
Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St Joseph wrote in his diocesan newspaper that “despite hardship, beyond partisanship, for the sake of our eternal salvation,” Catholic voters “should never” support a candidate who favours the continued legalisation of abortion.
Bishops Kevin J. Farrell of Dallas and Keven W. Vann of Fort Worth issued a pastoral letter on October 8 which singled out abortion as the “preeminent intrinsic evil of our day,” and again stressed that all other rights originate in the right to life.
“It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop,” the bishops wrote.
Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver made national headlines when he described Barack Obama as “the most committed abortion-rights presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision.”
Archbishop Chaput later said that those Catholics who promote Obama as “this year’s ‘real’ pro-life candidate,” are under a “peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse.”
They had the catholic vote website in the Church Bulletin this Sunday....it’s now been seen by millions. A very powerful video....
