OK, everyone, jump in. We surely know other supporters of the CINO. Post them here!

Catholics for Political Responsibility

Catholics for a Free Choice

Obviously these groups are not Catholic -- and it disgusts me that they can even use the word Catholic with which to identify themselves.

Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility

For Catholics, the defense of human life and dignity is not a narrow cause, but a way of life and a framework for action. A key message of the Vatican statement on public life is that Catholics in politics must reflect the moral values of our faith with clear and consistent priority for the life and dignity of the human person.13 This is the fundamental moral measure of their service. The Vatican statement also points out:

It must be noted also that a well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law which contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals. The Christian faith is an integral unity, and thus it is incoherent to isolate some particular element to the detriment of the whole of Catholic doctrine. A political commitment to a single isolated aspect of the Church's social doctrine does not exhaust one's responsibility towards the common good.14 Decisions about candidates and choices about public policies require clear commitment to moral principles, careful discernment and prudential judgments based on the values of our faith.

The Pax Christi ad in the PittsburgH (I hate when people misspell it) was an eye opener (for me atleast). Just about every Catholic politician in the metro Pittsburgh Area (almost all Dems) signed this 'letter.' My take on it was a redefinition of Kerry's spew about this faith at the last debate. They (the signers) deeply beleive in the teaching of Catholic Church, but they cannot let their theological beliefs guide their public decision making...yadayadayada...

My take...their polls were showing that they were slipping to the CONSERVATIVES and their seats (ie., jobs) were/are in jeopardy. Had to do something...so wrap yourself up in the devout Catholic lable...but continue to not follow the teaching of the faith you profess.

Some people I know participated in the RNC's Catholic Voter Outreach effort this morning. Out of probably 600 vehicles at the Catholic church, ONLY ONE had a pro-Kerry sticker on it. This one had it on the windshield on the inside (movable) along with a Rosie the Riveter card with "Up Yours, Bush!" on it. Classy! My friend said she felt so good placing the "Vote Your Values" card next to that stuff.

Only about 10% of the remaining cars had anything political and it was all BCO4 or W04 or pro life stickers.

There was a huge effort at churches across Central Florida today. Hope it did some good.
