This could be a good resource to forward to our non-Freeper friends who may not be as well versed in these issues.

I'm Roman Catholic (to borrow from the late novelist Walker Percy, "A bad Catholic at a time near the end of the world) and I will definitely vote for President Bush over John Kerry even though Kerry is "Catholic" and the president is United Methodist, a sect that barely seems to be Christian.
To: polemikos
Excellent find!!!
I've inquired whether my local moderate GOP mayor is pro-life and gotten a "what does it matter in city politics" response. The guy has aspirations for higher office, clearly, and I'm sure not gonna be jazzed about helping some pro-abort on his way to the top.

A small start in the culture war.
I'll be interested in seeing how the DimDem-Catholics will rationalize their way out of this.

To: Gamecock
I've worked with some RC's on some of these issues, especially outside the abortion mills, and have a great deal of respect and love for them. Some even are in agreement on justification.
Love your new tag line. :-)
To: BibChr
I think Gamecock would agree with me, that we are "catholics", but not Roman Catholics.

You're welcome for the ping, but polemics gets the credit for finding and posting it.

Looks great. Can't they come up with a clever acronym? I put some together but they don't do much...

It is a serious sin to endorse or promote any of these actions...
So, are they making the case that supporting the Democratic Party is a mortal sin?

I know this is going to sound petty, but I wish they hadn't put "serious" in the title, as if only the holiest of Catholics need concern themselves with these issues.
My wife and I are considering supplying them to our pastor for distribution inside the bulletins and also to the school for the communication envelope. We know from experience we'd only need about 1200. There's some overlap, of course, as most of the families in the school attend the Church, but we figure if some families get two it will increase their visibity on the sea of papers on their dining room tables.
There was a very upsetting trend last election when lots of active parishoners supported pro-abortion Ed Rendell for governor. Perhaps this booklet will at least make them less conspicuous supporters.

Thanks for the posting and the ping!
But... where does my conscience fit into this??? The National Catholic Reporter says my conscience AND my right to educational liberty comes first. ;-)
Seriously, this is great and thank God it all makes perfect sense to me... I couldn't have said that not all that long ago. Thanks to the grace of God, now I can.

P: So, are they making the case that supporting the Democratic Party is a mortal sin?
O:And this surprises you?
Not really. I was just being cheeky. ;->
Although, it does raise an interesting point. Can one seriously argue that they belong to the Demoncratic Party because they are trying to reform it from the inside? Alternatively, once any Party crosses a "non-negotiable" moral line, can any moral person belong remain a member of that party, even if only registering with that party's affiliation?
...I wish they hadn't put "serious" in the title...
That did strike me as a little odd. I suppose that there's a bit of a challenge to "non-serious" Catholics in it.
