I don't agree. This is a powerful statement being printed in the New York Times. I could hardly imagine this being printed four years ago. The Catholic leadership in America has had enough and is finally speaking out and refusing to be silenced by the false talk of "choice" and "separation of church and state." It is wonderful and encouraging. Any Catholic who reads this column - and I have no doubt that hundreds, if not thousands, of New Jersey Catholics will read it - knows that he or she has nowhere to hide if they vote for pro-abortion candidates anymore.

Who cares about what Maureen Dowd wrote? Her audience does not even go to church. The shrillness of her column is the best indicator yet that the godless people know they are losing the debate and losing this election. The more they caricature George W. Bush and scoff at God, the more they turn off religious voters and get them fired up for this election.

May I also say, as a fairly new Christian, that this column spoke to me. I have become more radically pro-life as I have gotten older. I may just end up a Catholic before long. And I will certainly never vote for a pro-abortion candidsate again. I just moved to Pennsylvania, and I am not voting for Arlen Specter.
