Some good news about Catholics, for a change.

I didn't see this posted, if I missed it, I apologize.

Ping. If you have a ping list, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Diago]

WOW!

Could you ping this please? The source is the usually left leaning Zogby and Newsweek. This may me the best news I've seen in this whole election season.

From the article:

Zogby's Fritz Wenzel told the Catholic News Service he sees these numbers as a reflection of Catholic “concern about the legitimacy of the war in Iraq being overridden by ongoing discomfort with Kerry’s stand on abortion.”

It’s telling that the numbers only started to break that way in midsummer, after heavy news coverage of the debate over whether pro-choice Catholics (John Kerry, for instance. Oh, and John Kerry) were fit to receive communion.

Amen. I think Bush will win in a landslide. I wonder why no reporter has asked Kerry if he understands he excomunicated himself when he joined the secret society Skull and Bones.

FTM, in The Wanderer, pointed out that he joined in the 1960's when the old Canon Law was in effect. Back then, one was excomunicated the instance they joined a secret society?

The Dems are losing the male vote in massive numbers and the babes are gonna abandon them also.

Their future's so dark, they gotta wear miner's lights.

A recent Zogby poll shows that in key battleground states including Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, Catholic voters are far more likely than the general public to vote for President George W. Bush over Kerry. In Minnesota, for instance, 60 percent of Catholics say they’ll go for Bush, versus 44 percent of all Minnesotans.

This is Zogby so we can all subtract five from Kerry. If this trend holds, Kerry can't win.

It's nice to know there are still some Catholics out there that still take their faith seriously. Here in Kennedy/Kerry Land, it sometimes seems that most Catholics don't give a darn.

One thing that real Catholics have learned is to fight evil, even when it is from within their own church. They also hear the parable about the weeds in the wheat at least once a year. This Church has had much evil from within for two centuries, and yet it is still here today. Real Catholics will always be there to fight evil, count on it.

My feeling is, and this is only my opinion, that after millions and millions of abortions, there are a lot of women out there that KNOW what they did was wrong, feel betrayed by the feminist party and will try to rectify what they did, in part, by voting pro-life. And I'm sure a big chunk of those women are catholic.

Again, JMHO

And “choice,” make no mistake, is killing the Democratic Party

Choice is killing Democrats...DINO's, in The Father's eyes they are children worth his own son's life.

Best news I heard all day! Thanks for the ping.

Catholic Vote Will Decide Election

Because of Abortion and other moral issues Kerry can lose the Catholic vote

Kerry is WRONG for Catholics and Evangelicals, See this link

[unspun]

Well, well.... Are you listening Illinois Catholics?

[BlessedBeGod]

Wow! Catholics who are actually going to act Catholic!

What a switch from previous elections. They're finally "getting it."

[wideawake]

Very few people realize that many Catholics are willing to accept "choice" in cases of rape and health but still realize that abortion is fundamentally evil and that abortion on demand is an utter abomination.

President Clinton tapped into this ambiguity when he said that abortion should be "safe, legal and rare" - a lot of Catholic Democrats liked that language and did not realize how much of a lie it was until President Clinton was reelected and started to push partial-birth abortion.

These people have no illusions that Senator Kerry will support restrictions on the murder of unborn children - he hasn't even suggested limitations of any kind the way President Clinton (and implicitly his reluctant sidekick Vice President Gore) did.

[Casloy]

They'd spend considerably more time and energy trying to convince Tom that stewardshop of the environment is a moral issue, too. They'd focus on the question of whether the intervention in Iraq is a just war. They'd make the case that fiscal policy that favors the wealthy is morally wrong.

Got this far, then realized it was the same old same old.

The author is making this up out of whole cloth ... democrat voters will not stray from their mission as defined by the DNC ... hate Bush because Gore didn't succeed in stealing the 2000 election, so anyone but Bush in November. I wonder why this vacuous-brained author thinks Catholic Democrat voters are suddenly going to reject the big lie of the DNC about 'choice'? Could we have an effort at reverse thinking here; could the author be trying to blunt possible turncoat voters?
