"a worship community of Christians in the Roman Catholic tradition" and that attracts people drawn to its dedication to "family religious education and social justice."

I'd say that I'm speechless, but Lil dashole has led the way here. The Bishop said to Tommy, "your stand on abortion does not cut it with our beliefs. Get right or get gone."

Now the Lurch, it appears, has found a new "Catholic Religion"...a church that says it's ok to commit murder.

Gee, I did not know that there were so many "factions" in the Roman Catholic belief.

My Mother and I used to talk politics. Eventually, I understood that there was no shaking my Mother from her political beliefs. Total Democrat. Blind vote. Every time.

It came down to this: Mom, you are a Catholic. You raised me as a Catholic. I still believe in those values. How can you, in good faith, vote for people that actively support abortion? This is against your / mine religious beliefs. How can you do this?

I have two children. Ages 10 and 6. Both adopted. They are my heart and soul.

I cannot imagine my life without these two gifts from God. And I thank God, many times every day, that their biological mothers did not choose to commit the most horrific act I can think of.

Obviously, a very biased opinion on the matter. I just have a real hard time trying to understand my Mother's thought process.

I just have a real hard time trying to understand my Mother's thought process.

There's no thought process going on to understand. Your mother is simply not thinking, at least on this matter. You said yourself: "Total Democrat. Blind vote." This is not something a thinking person does. (To be fair, "Total Republican. Blind vote" is not a thinking approach either.) Am I correct in guessing that she gets all her news from the local fishwrap and the television (ABCCBSNBCCNN)?

Pray for your mom and for an end to abortion. She probably doesn't realize what she's doing and is thinking the Dimocrats are the same as they were in the 50's not knowing that they developed into and evil and Satanic political cult where abortion and euthanasia are the norm, taking God and prayer out of the schools and public forums, taking the 10 commandments out of the schools and courts, allowing condom distribution and sexual health clinics in the schools, starting an earth-worship, humanist anti-God movement in the schools,

rewarding sloth, promoting the demise of the traditional American family by encouraging illegitimate children and downplaying the role of the father by not giving welfare to nuclear families and allowing the sodomistic homosexual movement to take over our school under the name of tolerance and in our society and by allowing homosexual unions and marriages with the same protections under the law as with traditional married couples.

LVM,

Please get this little book for your mom. I've watched it work on a 75+ y/o who was a former labor/union boss aka lifelong 100% D Democrat. Please pass it on.

A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters is must reading for every Catholic family. It is also very important for high-school students to learn this so that they can be properly informed Christian Voters. By Father Stephen F. Torraco, Ph.D.

Available from Leaflet Missal Company 1-800-328-9582 or On-line at: www.leafletmissal.org or click picture.

Cost is $0.95 for each, OR 60 cents each plus shipping and handling for a quantity of 25 (this would cost $19.95 for 25). Quantity of 50 for $0.55 100 for $0.50 500 for $0.39 1000 for $0.35

IMO--This is the most important little book Christians should read before elections. It is written in the style of the old Baltimore catechism—15 direct questions with concise answers.

Please consider presenting to pastors, Religion Classes, KofC, Sodalities, etc. for widest possible distribution.

Two great phrases that are hopefully becoming common are "NON-NEGOTIABLE ISSUE" and "disqualifying issue"

From A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters :
"A disqualifying issue is one which is of such gravity and importance that it allows for no political maneuvering. It is an issue that strikes at the heart of the human person and is non-negotiable. A disqualifying issue is one of such enormity that by itself renders a candidate for office unacceptable regardless of his position on other matters."

The FIVE NON-NEGOTIABLE ISSUES are:
1. Abortion
2. Euthanasia
3. Fetal Stem Cell Research
4. Human Cloning
5. Homosexual "Marriage"

the apostate john kerry disqualifies himself on each of the 5.

This is the directive from the Vatican regarding politics and Catholicism.
"This Note is directed to the Bishops of the Catholic Church and, in a particular way, to Catholic politicians and all lay members of the faithful called to participate in the political life of democratic societies."

Bless you.

And I thank God, many times every day, that their biological mothers did not choose to commit the most horrific act I can think of.

It boggles the mind. And then to think that half of the "Catholics" in this country will vote for a guy who won't lift a finger to prevent little children from being dismembered in their mothers' wombs.

Adoptive mother bump. I have Democrats in my family who refuse to hear the truth as well, and some of them are "devout" Catholics. I can't look at my three children and be anything but grateful to their birthmothers who made such a courageous choice. God bless you and your family.
