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?

And this surprises you?

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.

I can't answer for the mortality part of it, but I know I would never knowingly vote for anyone who endorsed abortion, stemcell research, euthenasia, homosexuality.

Each one of us will have to answer for the way we voted.
