“It’s only a tiny bit evil, Lord, and it’s politically correct which is more important to us modern types than your law. Besides, that Obama is just so darned irrestible.”

[Tarpon]

Cafardi is a civil and canon lawyer, and a professor and former dean at Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh.

Well, doesn't that explain it?

[mockingbyrd]

You sir (the author......not presidio) are a spineless moral relativist.

[Da Coyote]

You forgot to add that besides being Catholic, you also have no knowledge of economics, foreign policy, or morality. Other than that, guess you’re OK.

Supporting a man who voted to deny medical care to a born alive baby following a botched abortion.

This IDIOT is a DEMOCRAT FIRST and a Catholic second.

Stuck on stupid like the other 90% of college 20 hours per month work schedule professors.

I guess he’s not a very smart Catholic.

**This IDIOT is a DEMOCRAT FIRST and a Catholic second.**

Got that right.

And by his words and actions he is excommunicating himself. Hope his Bishops knows this.

Nick,

You are double-minded, unstable in all your ways and you should expect to receive NOTHING from the Lord.

Wrong. The Pope spoke about this. The right to life is the most basic, fundamental right there is. If you can’t accept that right, the other rights are just arbitrary. “The enjoyment of the right to life is a necessary condition of the enjoyment of all other human rights.”

[ArrogantBustard]

I believe that abortion is an unspeakable evil, yet I support Sen. Barack Obama, who is pro-choice. I do not support him because he is pro-choice, but in spite of it. Is that a proper moral choice for a committed Catholic?

No. zer0bama's pro-death fanaticism trumps any "good" position he might hold on other social justice or economic issues.

"I'm Catholic, pro-life, and I support Obama, because We've lost the war. No matter what we do, there are always going to be more abortions. Therefore, from now on, I will always be Catholic, pro-life, pro-murder, pro-rape, pro-war, pro-hunger, pro-sin, and pro-the right to 'down-right meanness.' Come to think of it, from now on I am also Catholic, and anti-spirituality and religion."
