Oh my, another quite non-Catholic "expert" on Roman Catholicism with no authority whatsoever. See #393. I am not finding you worthy of individual response at length. Again, unless your other name is Benedict XVI, no Catholic need be "distracted" by the likes of you. And, NO, I am not going to get involved in some useless "Scriptural" vs. "non-Scriptural" debates or how many reformers can dance on the head of a pin. Convince B-XVI and you convince me. No lesser standard and you aren't up to meeting that one.
You ARE, after all, arguing that it is somehow moral to vote for Romney, though he would murder babies, destroy the institution of marriage in our society, cheerlead rump-ranging posing as "marriage," persecute the Catholic Church and probably yours too, in his worship of socialized medicine, undoubtedly cut off medical care to the elderly because death panels say its a good idea, etc. Your heathen imbecile is no better than Obozo. We Catholics call voting for either of them material cooperation with mortal sin. In case you have not guessed, that makes voting for either NOT morally permissible.
Now, go distract yourself.

He's not my heathen imbecile - he's the only option that isn't Obama. I make a distinction between pure evil and sinfulness. Don't have to be a Catholic expert to be a Christian and to have some sense of what's going on in the world or how it will all end. Being a Catholic doesn't make one infallible or the final word - even Popes get distracted with worldly things and go off on tangents about taking care of mother earth. Why would that happen? If you believe the Bible, we cannot destroy the earth because God has already spoken about how it will end.
While you're at it, what is mortal sin? I'd like to hear your slant on it.
