* Unfortunately, the video fails to present the Rat position on baby killing and homosexual marriage.
* Unfortunately, many people will miss the obvious unless it is clearly spelled out.

* Unfortunately, Catholics are considered a core Rat constituency.

Not really necessary. You would have to live on another planet to not know the stances between the candidates. Just think about the attacks that have been waged against Palin!

I have not been very proud of my Catholic representation in our government as of late... Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy. And then when you include those media elites like Mathews and Donahue, I get completely ashamed. This offers me hope.

**Unfortunately, Catholics are considered a core Rat constituency.**

I think you are wrong here. Used to be the case, but too many Bishops have sent out letters, etc. denouncing Pelosi and Biden and telling them not to come to Communion.

In other words, more Catholics will vote Republican this year than ever before.

I have talked with several at church who were going to vote for Obama, but when we talked about his infanticide, abortion supporting side, they changed their minds.

They don’t want to be excommunicated like Biden, Pelosi, Kennedy and Kerry are. (However, all those and more could come back to the Church providing they seek the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession), repent and promise to change their ways. Practically speaking, I don’t think that will happen with these politicians mentioned.

I would like that info, too!

It is very good with the exception of the DEMORAT ballot shown near the end. A friend just pointed this out.

OUTSTANDING. EVOCATIVE. POWERFUL. SPOT ON!!!!

Clever and smart that the producer used a Democrat ballot in that shot near the end.

But the INTENT of the video is crystal clear!!!

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE!!!

Pass it on.

**where is the Church leadership? **

For your information (and others) the Bishops, I believe, got a "talking to" by Pope Benedict when he visited the United States. I know our parish hass had two homilies preached on pro-life during the last two months! They have spoken out against Pelosi and it all applies to Biden too. Here is the result thus far:

Notes:

Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
#26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

Please read this link and be proud. Don’t be afraid to send this post/link from American Papist on to your own Bishops — unless he has already spoken out.

Excellent video. My rather large Protestant email list just got a message from me to take a look at the video.

The video producers did not give the abortionist Democrats any wiggle room whatsoever.

Spread the word about this video through the email system.

Can’t get any sound on it, but I have dial up.

Patience, right?

Yes it is worth the wait.

Very powerful, thanks for ping.

Nancy Pelosi makes her asinine statement and with the exception of a couple Cardinals, the Church says nothing. And the video shows Biden - a Catholic - running with Obama - a believer in Black Liberation Theology. How do non-Catholics square with that?

To this point, at least 26 bishops have spoken out against Pelosi and Biden. My preference would be that they all do so loudly and forcefully. But 26 isn't a bad start--and better than most other Christian churches when it comes to rebuking their own members who have publicly gone astray.

All I can say is “wow!”

Gonna pass it around to my Catholic family and friends - and others!

My parish resides in the Washington, DC Archdicose. Below is what I emailed to my priest two weeks ago. I have gone to two masses since then and he has not addressed this issue. Neither has the KoC, which I am a member of. I am thinking of emailing him and the KoC leadership, asking them why I sould remain in that parish and KoC if they are unwilling or unable to defend the faith.

Father,

I am sure by now you have heard the remarks House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made this past weekend on Meet The Press. Moderator Tom Brokaw asked her -

“Senator Obama saying the question of when life begins is above his pay grade, whether you're looking at it scientifically or theologically. If he were to come to you and say, "Help me out here, Madame Speaker. When does life begin?" what would you tell him? “

Her reply was –

“I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition. And Senator--St. Augustine said at three months. We don't know. The point is, is that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose. Roe v. Wade talks about very clear definitions of when the child--first trimester, certain considerations; second trimester; not so third trimester. There's very clear distinctions. This isn't about abortion on demand, it's about a careful, careful consideration of all factors and--to--that a woman has to make with her doctor and her god. And so I don't think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins. As I say, the Catholic Church for centuries has been discussing this, and there are those who've decided...”

Her remarks should be of great concern to all Catholics. House Speaker Pelosi has done one of two things. Either she has spoken from extreme ignorance of Catholic faith or she purposely lied. If she has done the later than I believe she has committed an evil act, basically leading people to believe that the Catholic Church believes in abortion.

I also hope that by now you have heard the remarks made by Senator Barack Obama concerning his actions about the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA), when he was a State Senator. (BAIPA) basically states -

“…that any baby that has been born alive is to be legally considered a person. As such, she or he would automatically be granted full protection under the U.S. Constitution. Other existing laws require that newborns must receive medical attention as needed. Killing a born-alive infant would be considered murder.”

To sum it up and to put it bluntly, Senator Barack Obama opposed this bill and killed it three times as an Illinois State Senator. He basically believes that if a child is born due to a botched abortion, the wishes of the mother should take precedence and that the child should die. That is murder!

This is the reason non-Catholics hold a dim view of Catholics and the Catholic faith. When non-Catholics hear an “ardent” Catholic state that the church teaches that life does not begin at conception, there is no doubt all Catholics suffer from such blatant disregard of Church teachings. The majority of American citizens know that prominent politicians such as Edward Kennedy, John Kerry, and Nancy Pelosi are Catholics. Moreover, while Senator Barack Obama is a non-Catholic, the support he has from these prominent Catholic politicians does not place our faith in a good light.

Would it be too much to ask you to speak about her statements, her support for infanticide, and her attempt to mislead citizens concerning the Catholic faith.

Respectfully,

ping

Beautiful and compelling! Not just for Catholics, it must be viewed by all those who value the human life.
