....In Iowa, there are approximately 3.1 million people. Statistics from the Iowa Catholic Conference show that approximately 16 percent, or just under 500,000 Iowans, are declared Catholics, and approximately 53 percent of Caucasian Catholics and 67 percent of Latino Catholics identify and vote with the Democratic Party....
....As Catholics, how can we collectively sit in the pew and pray for life, then stand at the ballot box and individually vote against it? If this is making some uncomfortable, good. If this reads judgmental, it should. I believe we Catholics must recognize the solution, and work the problem. Any priest or member of our clergy who is voting with the Democratic Party is not leading by example, and simply living and preaching a lie.
You have to go beyond politics to end abortion, straight to Jesus. This from [the late] Father John A. Hardon:
“There is no stopping abortion without an ocean of grace from Jesus Christ. No way will human means stop abortion. The principal source of this grace is the Holy Eucharist.”
No..they can not even defend their faith. A post that tried to teach how the magisterial worked was pulled because of that inability.. pathetic.The religion forum is all Rominist proselytizing all the time. They are scared to death of actually having to defend their heresy
This has been going on for as long as I can remember....and I’m old!!!...We have many prominent members of our parish who are Democrats, very active, 1 a former mayor, who espouse the democrat lie....the party of the little person, the party of the poor, against the billionaire money grabbing Republicans, against income inequality....and to argue with them is like talking to the wind.....useless.
No
He’s right. If Christians would start voting as a block they could change much of these social policies, especially in regards to abortion. But, alas, many Christians don’t seem to want to align themselves to a “moral majority” for fear of labels.
It kind of makes you wonder what Christians really believe.
