I have not read your rely yet, but
a. there is a man named Suzio here in CT that lost his re-election by 250 votes out of 40,000.

over 1500 Romney voters in the district, voted blank in that race. I met many at the polls after they were walking back to their car.
“I knew the Democrat was Planned Parenthood and N.O.W., but I wasn’t sure about Mr. Suzio, so I left it blank. Next time, he gets my vote.” The undervote is ours.

we have disabled ourselves. Only Religious People can talk themselves into such a corner. Bad Religions is disabling. And they were encouraged to think like that by pro-life amateur theologians.

90% of the People in the Catholic pews in Tobin’s diocese do not vote in primaries. Perhaps it would occur to him that the poor choices in November are a result of that fact.

If those voters could vote for Myth Romney, they could have voted for George McGovern or John French (Did you know he served in Vietnam?) Kerry or Algore or for Obozo for that matter (the only apparent differences are age, party and complexion). It could be that those Romney voters were leftists who just weren't sure that Len Suzio's opponent was far enough left.

There will be a Roman Catholic Church long after the State of Connecticut is but a bad memory---and a good thing too! I think Lenny would agree even if his Catholicism is a tad more liberal than my own.

If a political party run by the likes of Jerry Labriola, Jr., fails to convince Catholics to vote Republican, is that a surprise. Labriola is most of what is wrong in politics. Joe Markley and Len Suzio and a tiny handful of others command a high level of respect but even they have to make sure that their constituents know where they stand. Casting votes (or not casting them at all) consistent with a well-formed Catholic conscience is not bad religion but is what should be expected of us by our Savior.

Being amateur theologians is yet another task of lay people since the mistake that was Vatican II and the resulting spate of awful professional theologians and their accursed fictional "spirit" of Vatican II.

Not every Catholic needs to be obsessed with politics as are you and I. Some, like Dr. Zhivago, will never belong to the "party," but will just live and, in so doing, will keep society, their patient, alive. Removing the tumors of injustice is still deep surgery. Each of us is responsible for his/her own vote which is owed to no man and no party and no candidate.
