DUH! You know the answer to this one as well as the rest of us.

Yes I do. Of course a pro-lifer does not sin by belonging to the Democrat Party.

"Yes I do. Of course a pro-lifer does not sin by belonging to the Democrat Party."

If that so-called "pro-life" Democrat KNOWS what that party stands for, namely aborttion, and he willfully and willingly goes along with it KNOWING this, regardless, that's different, right? Maybe the concept of "near occasions of sin" has left the Church after all.

I wouldn't favor the bishops denying communion based on this, but I would say that given the pro-babyslaughter litmus tests applied by the Democratic party for even influential intraparty positions, a pro-lifer does commit mortal sin by voting for pro-babyslaughter candidates (like "Catholics" Daschle, Pelosi) for congressional leadership posts.

Of course a pro-lifer does not sin by belonging to the Democrat Party.

On what do you base this assertion?

It would be a grave sin for me. I know that.

Yes he does sin! He is an accomplice. By being a "democrat" he has given support to the parties platform and other members.
