Please don’t misunderstand. Catholics commit mortal sin when they support politicians who support abortion, same sex unions, et cetera. Willard is someone we cannot vote for. This is in addition to all the rest of who and what he is. I cannot denigrate the people mentioned who have endorsed him, but I cannot, and will not, vote for him. Not a case of the lesser of two evils, since no good can come from an evil act. And for a Catholic, because of his active support for abortion, even dismissing anything else, voting for Willard is literally an evil act, and one may not be able present oneself for Holy Communion without having first availed oneself of the Sacrament of Confession.

Romney is not actively supporting abortion. This makes your whole argument very odd. It's difficult to discuss things with people who don't deal with current facts.

“Please don’t misunderstand. Catholics commit mortal sin when they support politicians who support abortion, same sex unions, et cetera. Willard is someone we cannot vote for.”

You are wrong about Church teaching on this. Romney may not be as pro-life as you want but, Obama is so much worse. And it is not a mortal sin to vote for the lesser of two evils. Read the Catechism, please.

So you want Obama in for another 4 years? Because he is anti-abortion perhaps?

He is the most pro-abortion president we have ever elected. And you think that Romney is worse?

Think people, please. We also have Supremes who will be retiring in the next term.
