California's Unholy Trinity: New Ad Focuses on Pro-Abortion 'Catholics' Schwarzenegger, Davis and Bustamante

American Life League's Crusade for the Defense of Our Catholic Church has rescheduled its press conference for this Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento, Regency F Room at 10:30 a.m. to unveil its newest ad: California's Unholy Trinity.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cruz Bustamante and Gray Davis unapologetically tout their pro-abortion stances while claiming to be 'Catholics' in good standing. This is gravely dishonest. They shamelessly pander to the culture of death, and it is about time the leaders of the Catholic Church say enough is enough," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "Not just for the sake of the souls of these three, but also for the countless souls they mislead with their actions."

According to Crusade director Joseph Starrs, ALL is once again asking California's Catholic bishops -- as it did this past May with the release of its California Deadly Dozen ad campaign -- to "dispel the lie that a Catholic can be 'personally pro-life' while publicly being pro-abortion." Starrs went on to wonder why, in light of the Catholic Church's steadfast opposition to abortion, "Cardinal Roger Mahony appears to be doing nothing more than appeasing these public figures and celebrities, when as their spiritual leader he should be challenging them."

The ad will run Sept. 30 in the Sacramento Bee, and it will appear in several other newspapers throughout California and the United States.

Perfect.

I believe the Church has shown its mind in the matter of Catholic politicians and the "pro-choice" stance. In fact, I think excommunications may come in the next decade. Maybe sooner.

Catholic voters in republican regimes like the U.S. also have a duty not to give public support to Catholic candidates in dissent from authoritative teaching on this matter. Doing otherwise is giving public scandal.

Liberation from the culture of death is the great public mission of the Church in our times.

To my fellow Catholic Freepers, I say, "Let us take up our share of that cross, and never again support pro-choice Catholics, of whatever party, when we have a possibility of voting for life."

In hope,

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Psalm 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 :I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 :My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 :Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,…

Isaiah 49:1 :
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

Matthew 18:5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Deuteronomy 30:19
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

Proverbs 6:16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood

Exodus 20:13
Thou shalt not kill.

So, this is what 'the horns of a dilemma' is really all about. On the one hand the less conservative candidate, that it appears likely can win the election on the Republican ticket, is living in opposition to his professed religious strictures, and the other Republican candidate, who is less likely to win the election because of the hard, liberal hearts of California voters, appears more conservative, especially on the issue of abortion. So, if a Californian votes for the pro-life candidate, the liberal pro-choice candidate will win and the situation is likely to deteriorate if the elected liberal reads his election as a mandate (that liberalized California wants abortion on demand protected and 'sanctified'). On the other horn, if the conservative voter votes for a less conservative Republican and he wins, the voter is stamped as compromising principles. [That last is a low trick to shame conservatives, IMHO, in this particular election struggle. It is somewhat despicable to trot that out as a last ditch effort to manipulate California Republican voters because it rings of insincerity and exploits the issue of 'life for the little ones' when the election is not going to change abortion status in California merely because Tom might become governor. But let's move on to another perspective.]

The argument being put forward to shame Catholics and religious folk into voting only for McClintock because of the pro-life issue might get more votes for McClintock, but will it be sufficient to get him elected? On the other hand, is there any likelihood that Arnold would alter his pro-choice position, softening his stance to work toward reducing the use of abortion in California? I know one thing, it is a toss up with Arnold, but with Bustamove, you know darn well that liberal is never going to change his spots.

Glad I don't live in California! The liberalized left coast is hard at work trying to change their governor and save the state economically, but they don't appear to care much about liberal evils such as abortion on demand.

Maybe there's another approach that can decide the choice of Arnold or Tom ... we can disregard Bustamove as a choice for governor with the people this 'abortion/Catholic' approach is aimed at. What is the job qualification status of the two men? Oh, you say Tom has experience in California politics and running government but Arnold is starting from scratch, relying more heavily on advisors than Tom would be? Well, there's your answer: vote for the more qualified conservative candidate and pray enough of your fellow Californians can vote according to that job qualifications perspective. After all, Cruz will be an extension of Greyout, you can bet on that, so why not select an alternative approach to California management with a candidate who is more qualified? The pro-choice/pro-life angle need not even enter into the choice, in this case. Now if we're talking clinton or Schumer, or Leahy or Boxer or Harkin, well, that's a cut and dried life issue choice.
