Like millions of the faithful, I have been thrilled by the sudden and forceful rise of various Bishops voices against the errors decimating the hearts of the Faithful in this election cycle. I am speaking of the errors stated by Doug Kmiec (and echoed by others) that go like this: It is time to set the record straight that it violates no aspect of Catholic teaching for a Catholic Voter to endorse, support, or vote for Barack Obama (Doug Kmiec, Catholic Attorney and Author, Can a Catholic Support Him?, pg 36, emphasis added.)
Anyone with an ear to hear clearly knows that no Catholic can vote for Obama with a clear conscience no matter what Doug Kmiec, Roman Catholics for Obama, or any other misguided Catholic may declare. As Bishop Martino declared: This is madness, people.
But now perhaps in an eleventh hour answer to prayer Bishop Rene H. Gracida has released a stunningly clear radio ad concerning Catholics voting for Barack Obama.

That would make a good bumber sticker.
It’s time for the outspoken ones to go one step further and speak out on the national airwaves, ie Hannity, Rush, Laura, etc.
There is too much at stake now.
I know far too many people that lead lousy lives and think all is forgiven if the yawn through services on Sunday.
Beyond that? That's a million lifetimes of work! Beyond that, I need rest. Hopefully I'll attain it.
its not that abortion is my key issue..I am against of course....but I don't think it will ever be overturned, and truly, you can't stop someone from aborting if they want too....
but what we can stop is this culture of death.....this idea that children are just objects....that children are less of a human being than those of us that are adults...
what we can stop is partial birth abortion...
what we can stop is having our dtrs being able to leave school and get abortions without mom or dad even knowing....
we have to make a mark in the sand.....
