I cannot for the life of me understand how any true Christian could vote for anyone who aligns themselves with a National Party that espouses Abortion, Gay Marriage, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, etc.
But, a lot of old people are Dems because daddy and granddaddy were Democrat. Some are just politically ignorant. I've heard Christians say: "The Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats are for the working man." Sheer ignorance.
And, some say: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's." (Matthew 22:21) But, how do you separate the two?
By my reasoning, we are Caesar in this country. The Catholic Church has 2,000 years of dealing with authoritarian-styled governments. They need to learn to focus their energy and education on their flocks before their uneducated flocks vote for governments that oppose them. I have told many priests this and will continue to do so.
The first two paragraphs are deadly, and they must be dynamite, if you want anyone to read on. Clearly and succintly state your thesis and then point to what you are offering. Something like this, There are five important moral isues that are important in the congressional elections. Please review them below. When you do, I am sur you will agree that Christians should vote Republican.
