It is possible as a Catholic to make such a moral decision defensibly and deny both if they are equally wrong on the questions of life. But it is permissible to choose between two candidates so that the one who will do the greatest amount of harm does not benefit from one's protest.

There are two man eating tigers on the loose. But one consumes less human flesh than the other. By catholic logic, the less flesh eating tiger gets a temporary pass. Now that is a stretch of immensly flawed and wrongful convictions. The premise itself is based on a losing proposition regardless of the outcome. In this case, eventually the less flesh eating tiger, will at his leisure, consume you anyway.

No thanks. I'll pass.
