With the exception of the death penalty, which many catholics support over the chagrin of the pope, every issue regarding the preservation of life that catholics hold dear are fervently supported by the GOP, which is why catholics are flocking to Bush.
Ping!
The Jesuits should shame this NO Nothing right out of town.
The killing of innocent humans and, especially, the purposeful nurturing for the purpose of harvesting those humans, should be the "bright line" we will not cross.
How can the conscience *not* be guided by one's religion? What sort of person would compartmentalize and separate the 2?
He probably fits right in with the rest of the Notre Dame faculty
Barf!
My conscience should line up with my Christianity. My Christianity teaches me that health care isn't the responsibility of the government either but we are to help our brothers and sisters.
Gees, I could go on and on in rebuttal, but, nevermind, I'd be preaching to the choir huh? :-)
corrections:
1. Dims are more likely to commit treason by aiding and comforting the enemy
2. Dims are more likely to impose extralegal capital punishment upon their political and social opponents
3. Dims are more likely to turn medicine in this country into yet another bloated state-run fiasco, with patients and medical professionals at the whim of trial lawyers and red-tape
4. Dims are more likely to usurp private land rights and create "no growth" zones, creating Elite preserves and enormous high-rent ghettos for the rest of us peons
5. Dims are more likely to subsidize sloth, indolence, promiscuity, bastardy, and criminality in order to hold onto locked voting blocks
6. Dims are more likely to tax the middle-class into poverty and drive industry offshore through prohibitive/punitive taxation - leading to yet more patron-client nonsense of which they are so fond.
whew!
glad to see the NYSlimes was only toying with us on that last ping... here they are back on-form.
The End is NOT Nigh
A Voter's Guide: Pro-choice candidates and church teaching
So what is the real story about Cardinal Ratzinger's statement? Can Catholics Vote Pro-Abortion?
Living the Gospel of Life:
A Challenge to American Catholics
A Statement by the Catholic Bishops of the United States
He's no Catholic.
Kerry's using the Church for political gain.
He should be excommunicated because of his public stance on the abortion issue and for attempting to mislead Catholic voters by saying that he believes that life begins at conception.
Demos want separation of church and state on moral individual grounds but do not believe in separation of church and state on economic issues. Give to Cesars what is Cesars and give to God what is Gods. They are mixing socialism with their theology.
There are compelling reasons... Such as the fact that Johnhammed al Qerry's ghoulish slavering for more and more murders of unborn children is a blasphemy against the Creator and against the Catholic Church which he mocks by his CLAIMED membership.
President Bush is ten times more Catholic than that maggot-infested satanic ghoul! Pi$$ on Qerry and his freakish hag of a wife.
As a " Traditional Catholic" (I practice the Catholic Religion according to the laws and rules prior to the hijacking of the Roman Catholic Church in 1962 by the
Novus Ordo Catholics during Vatican II ). This is more Clap Trap from the Novus Ordo sect.
Another example is the Catholic Bishops who would still give Communion to Kerry, and other supporters of abortion and the Homosexual Movement.
Try these sights for some insight into the Traditional Catholic position:

As far as I'm concerned voting for ketchupboy is like committing Heresy and Treason at the same time.
Thanks for the links, brother.

John Kerry?
Idiot. I do believe the democrats held the congress during Reagan presidency, and, in the Clinton years it was Republicans who had a majority was it not? The two bodies of the congress set out the funding and programs.
abortion - death penalty, if you are going to put things in order of importance, then an innocent life taken seem much more important than the application of law on a convicted murderer.
Well, let's look at the totals dead in each of the circumstances. There are almost one and a half MILLION abortions every year. How does that compare to those threatened with death because of diseases that may or may NOT be cured with stem cells, those on death row, or those threatened because of poor health car or bad air and water? Somehow, I don't think all of those 'social justice' cases combined can come anywhere NEAR the number of babies killed every year.
Life trumps everything.
