I go to a Catholic College, and one of the most frustrating things is discussing these issues and politics, because most people just don't seem to realize that supporting these things are wrong. Most of them are more concerned that Bush is waging an "unjust" war than the fact that millions of babies are killed every year. One of my professors last year was a priest, and he had a Kerry bumper sticker on his office door, and would never consider voting for Bush. I swear, there are just connections not present in the brains of most democrats

PS: I like your name :)

Thank you.

It makes you wonder how people going to a Catholic college could be Democrats.

Keep the Faith and realize that many are just uniformed and/or unwilling to think through the issues.

I have great difficulty in discussing issues and politics with my father because his mind is already made up.

God gave us the freedom to think and act, even if we don't always make the right choices. Lead by example and remember the early Christians were persecuted for their beliefs and practicing their faith.

Good moral values will eventually survive and win, but it does require a lot of work and perseverance.

i am with both of you, i am totally floored by any Catholic, let alone a PRIEST, who could vote democrat. i feel like putting a copy of this voter guide on the windshield of any car with a Kerry bumpersticker in the church parking lot. I may do that. Luckily, our priests have been giving GREAT sermons on how Catholics MUST obey catholic teaching, that it isn't severable when it comes to voting. i love hearing their sermons, and have emailed them my kudos, because Falls Church, VA is in No.VA and extremely liberal suburb of DC and i they are not necessarily speaking to the likeminded.
