My parish priest has made it very clear that we have a litmus test for the president and that is abortion. Kerry fails that test.
Catholics are most certainly Christians. Is there any doubt among those of faith that God has his hand on George W. Bush. He is most certainly a man of God, of deep, sincere and unapologetic faith. In these desperate times it is a comfort to me to know that my President is on his knees in prayer seeking God's wisdom and guidance.
Does it bother anyone else that this country has gotten to the point that the news media wants the President to apologize for his faith? I am astonished at the negative comments made following each time our President tells of his faith, his prayers, and his devotion to God. We do live in strange times.
I am Catholic and I would never vote for BUSH!
A guy named John Kerry says the same thing. What is your point?
I was just making a statement
A Catholic in good standing is one whose conscience is formed by the Doctrine's of the Catholic Church.
If that is truely your only concern then yes it does.
Ah yes, history is replete with bad bishops, just out of curiosity who is your bishop? I'm sure it isn't Chaput or Burke, I doubt it is even Maida.
The catholic church has become filled with bishops who are PC driven. The great moral debate in the church should be, as in days gone past, if you vote for an individual who practices genocide against the unborn, then do you not also participate directly in that sin? Does you soul not bear the same mark of eternal damnation?
many of our bishops, in their attempted teaching of their flock, have been blinded by PC and may have earned unto themselves the mark of eternal damnation.
She was speechless.
Excellent repost. Where I live and in my family, the Catholics from 50 yoa and down are voting for Bush (not that it will do much good in Illinois) while those somewhat older are voting Kerry. I presume that it is the "Catholic/Democrat" label reminiscent of John Kennedy.
The one way of quieting the louder Kerry supporters is to bring up the abortion issue. They simply quit arguing. Don't know if that changes any votes, but it does seem to end the political discussions.
"I'll make this a very blunt and straight statement, I don't know how anyone can go to church on Sunday, and vote for a democrat the following Tuesday."
A Catholic like any other legal citizen should vote for whom they feel is best to serve.....as long as it's Bush
It's very simple. If one of the persons is pro-choice and one is not, unless there are some very other outstanding reasons, you are cooperating with the evil of being pro abortion if you vote for the pro-abortion candidate.
I have some other reasons I don't hve problems with this as well. I think Bush has a lot more integrity, cares more for his people and less for his power than Kerry. I love the way he walks his faith walk, even if he isn't Catholic. I cringe every time I hear that Kerry receives communion. I LIKE Bush, I TRUST Bush, and I don't Kerry. Even if they were both pro-life, I would vote for Bush.
W'04!
BTTT!
There was a longish piece I saw in the WSJ maybe a year or two ago -- a statement by a group of about 100 OB-GYNs stating that PBA is not and has never been a recognized medical procedure because there is no circumstance that calls for it. I'll try to google it, but it's hard to think how to search, since I can't recall any of the names (and I'm vague on when it appeared).
Bump for truth
Then you madam, are not different than John f'n kerry.CINO.That is Catholic in Name Only. Please leave this board and my Church. Neither have any need for phony's.
