Catholic ARE allowed to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Personally, I do not do so. I will not vote for anyone who is not 100% pro-life. But that does not mean that other Catholics are not allowed to make a different prudential decision.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Thank you. But apparently this bishop of Colorado Springs does not agree. Although actually his letter is too ambiguous to be taken as definitive.

We are facing a frightening voting dilemma here in Pennsylvania this Fall. Both men running for senate are completely pro-abortion. If Arlen Specter is reelected, he will be named chairmen of the judiciary committee. Committed Philadelphia area pro-life political leaders (who are also devout Catholics) are recommending that we vote for the Democrat Hoeffel. It would be considered a positive outcome if pro-life Republican John Kyl is given the judiciary.

I have been praying about this since we got the word, but I am not sure I can do it. Obviously, I cannot vote Specter, but I was planning on writing in Toomey, which I will probably still do. Voting for Hoeffel seems too much like making a deal with the devil to me. But I will continue to pray as these pro-life leaders have much more political acumen than I.
