Any Catholic who chooses to vote for Kerry is uninformed about being a Catholic.

The guidelines for your scoscientious decision making are right here, very specific:

Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion

Let's just hope enough "Catholics" have Catholic consciences left with which to vote by.

My conscience is that I vote for Mr. Bush, which I will with no reservations. The tough decision is, for me, is his stance on stem cell research.

My reasoning is, and I am not well versed on it, without advocating stem cell research these children are dieing for no reason. To me, until partial birth and early term abortions are abolished (and to me with exceptions, rape pretty much period) the these lives are for naught.

Flame me if you will, but God gave us the knowledge to use a sorrowful situation to help mankind.

A Catholic should vote by their conscience.

But a Catholic's conscience should be informed by truth.

A Catholic should vote by their conscience.

A Catholic in good standing is one whose conscience is formed by the Doctrine's of the Catholic Church.
