“Human life is sacred.  The dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society.  Direct attacks on innocent persons are never morally acceptable, at any stage or in any condition.  In our society, human life is especially under direct attack from abortion.

Obama supports abortion, even partial birth abortion. No Catholic at all can vote for him. Catholics MUST always vote pro-life.

"Obama supports abortion, even partial birth abortion. No Catholic at all can vote for him. Catholics MUST always vote pro-life." ... Tom 'dungheap' Harkin, Barbara Boxer, Ted 'the swimmer' Kennedy ... the list of democrats claiming to be catholics, who are as leftist as Barry Obama on abortion, is too long, and they get voted back into office election after election by people claiming to be 'good Catholics'. The reality is sadly far from what the head of the Catholic Church directs, and defending and promoting the slaughter of alive, sensing unborn people antithetical to Christ's Grace which is ignored because the voice of The Holy Spirit is being ignored. As a nation, we are paying for this evil and will be called to pay far more than people would like to know.

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt if we wrote editor’s letters to Catholic newspapers to remind readers that they must vote for LIFE!

The Clintons would not have been elected without the Catholic vote, but part of that might have been because they didn’t know how pro-abortion the Clintons are.

[DieHard the Hunter]

I have a question: I generally agree that Human Life is sacred, and I certainly agree that Abortion is Evil.

I am studying to be Catholic, and I understand that the above beliefs are consistent with Catholic doctrine.

Does this mean that Catholics oppose the Death Penalty? If all life is sacred, then it follows that the Death Penalty is therefore contrary to...?

Speaking personally, I am in favor of the Death Penalty for the most heinous of crimes, and would Volunteer to carry out sentence the likes of Osama bin Laden, for example (tho’ I’d probably have to stand in a long line of Volunteers for that one!) Or Saddam Hussein, or the moron in charge of Iran.

How to reconcile this?
