I am still trying to understand the last voter guide, "When a Catholic does not share a candidate’s stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which Can Be Permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.”

Let me guess, that came from the USCCB, right? That doesn't sound like the voter's guide from Catholic Answers...

"When a Catholic does not share a candidate’s stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which Can Be Permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.”

I believe that only applies when NEITHER candidate is considered pro-life. You could vote for the one you consider would pose the lesser threat to the unborn

"When a Catholic does not share a candidate’s stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation.."

One such situation would be when you have two pro-abort candidates, butone of them is preferable for other reasons: maybe something like a Joe Lieberman vs. Ned Lamont match-up.
