Cardinal Muller Looks at US Politics, the 2020 Election and Catholic Conscience

The prefect emeritus of the Congregation of the Faith tells the Register that the Catholic Church must not only demand freedom of religion, she must also take up the task of demanding and promoting that politics be given a moral basis.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller is urging U.S. Catholic voters to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God” as they prepare to go to the polls on Nov. 3. 

In an exclusive Sept. 22 interview with the Register, the prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith does not explicitly endorse any one candidate, but he is clear that any Catholic or religious politician who actively promotes abortion and euthanasia is “not eligible for election.”

The cardinal also discusses whether he would give Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden, who supports legalized abortion and same-sex “marriage,” and whether a Catholic can vote in good conscience for President Donald Trump. He also criticizes some in Church media who have an “ideological” prejudice against the “American religious right.”

A few in the clergy seem to be going very public over the abortion problem. They are even saying do not vote for pro-abortion dems. I think they need to take an even harder stance and shout it from the pulpit to the congregation. This murder has gone on way to long.

True Catholics...genuine Catholics...wouldn't consider voting for *any* Rat. Not even for a millisecond.

In fact let me modify that statement: True Christians...genuine Christians...wouldn't consider voting for *any* Rat. Not even for a millisecond.
