"A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law which contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals." Faith in Jesus Christ, who is «the way, the truth, and the life»(Jn 14:6), calls Christians to exert a greater effort in building a culture which, inspired by the Gospel, will reclaim the values and contents of the Catholic Tradition.
The Participation of Catholics in Political Life
In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation.

First off:
" take communion, a sacrament reserved for those in the church's good graces."
Yikes. If you break any of the commandments, it is against God, not the Church that you do so.
Any politician who holds public office and creates the Law is more culpable than the average citizen. Kerry has the chance to save infants and votes to kill them.

Don't bother to hold your breath for the church to do anything. When I was dropping leaflets against our Governor at Catholic Churches, the biggest argument was "She may be pro-abortion, but she is sooo good in other ways."
The church will do nothing about these guys. The cafeteria Catholics will vote for him.

The senator is aligned with his church on many social justice issues, including immigration, poverty, health care and the death penalty. But he diverges on the litmus issues, like abortion and stem cell research, that animate church conservatives and many in the hierarchy. Because they're intrinsic evils, not prudential judgments regarding public policy.
Senator John Kerry's support for abortion rights and stem cell research has prompted discussions among Roman Catholic bishops and Vatican officials over how to respond to a presidential candidate who professes Catholicism while taking stands contrary to church teaching.
"Prompted discussions"?! What's to discuss? I will consider this NY Times spin... for now.

"She may be pro-abortion, but she is sooo good in other ways." "He may be in favor of dismembering babies, but he's so good in other ways." This attitude is nauseating, but widespread. I'm always stunned by indifference to abortion, especially in otherwise seemingly good people.

They stress the 'feel-good; parts of Christ's teachings, and ignore the nasty 'judgmental' parts like "Go, and sin no more".

Senator Kerry is a person of faith, he's a practicing Catholic, and his religion is an important part of his life and of Teresa Heinz Kerry's life," Mr. Wade said. "And they've always recognized that separation between the public and the private."If he's going to call himself a Catholic and run for office as such, then he is NOT separating his faith from his public life. He should be held accountable by the public for whether or not he truly accepts and represents the tenets of his faith, and this means HOW he votes in relation to those tenets.

A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters is must reading for every Catholic family. It is also very important for high-school students to learn this so that they can be properly informed Christian Voters. By Father Stephen F. Torraco, Ph.D.
Available from Leaflet Missal Company 1-800-328-9582 or On-line at: www.leafletmissal.org Click image
IMO--This is the most important 5-10 minute read Christians should experience before elections. It is written in the style of the old Baltimore catechism15 direct questions with concise answers.
Please consider presenting to pastors, Religion Classes, KofC, Sodalities, etc. for widest possible distribution.

Is it a Mortal Sin to vote for a Pro-Abortion candidate?
is # 15. I will try to type out rest in time.
The booklet is 95 cents with great qty pricing. I'd like to see it everywhere, especially highschools so the kids can learn BEFORE they get corrupted.

$10 says that the priest in the photo is liberal. You can tell by looking at them, because for some reason liberal priests never learned how to wear their vestments correctly.
He is wearing the stole (the scarf-looking symbol of his office) over the chasuble (the purple cloak... it represents the all-covering nature of charity). The chasuble is supposed to be worn over the stole due to its "all-covering nature".
Just thought someone might find that interesting.

Unfortunately, they were educated in the sophisticated attitude of 'God respects our free-will, so whatever we choose is fine'. WRONG! He gives us the free-will to make stupid, sinful choices as well as the right ones, Catholics like Kerry, Biden, Kennedy, Mikulskie, et al. can't seem to make that distinction.

I think it is a Mortal Sin to vote knowingly ans deliberately for someone who advocates the MURDER of innocent children and babies born and UNBORN.
But like back in 2002 when Maryland was holding thier gubernatorial election. both candidates were pro-abortion. I asked someone in my Secular Franciscan fraternity what I should do in this instance, she told me since it is a moral obligation to vote, then I should choose more reasonable of the two candidates, like Gov. Ehrlich, he's pro-choice (not Catholic) Ehrlich was for the bann on PBA's. So that is what colored my choice on election day on the issue of abortion.
