I agree with Terry 100%. If you read the "official" voting guides coming out of the USCCB and some Archdiocese, they intentionally confuse the issues and give cover to those that choose to vote Dem.

I took the voting guide from Catholic Answers called "Voting Guide for Serious Catholics" and paired it to the party platforms here. My greatest critique of the Church right now is their refusal to name names. What good does it do to hold a rally for life and then have half of the congregation vote for the very people promoting abortion?!

It's a bit like the war on terror... you don't make war on an ideology, you make war on the people who implement the ideology. Just so, you don't fight abortion, you fight the people who are entrenching abortion in our society.

I just burned the drivel that I got from the Diocese here. After a bunch of double speak, it ended up by saying that I should vote my conscience. Really wishy washy.

It could have been written by the new messiah B. Hussein Obama. The extra collections each month for the USCCB is not seeing any or very little of my money! What a bunch of spineless Judases!

It also said not to try and influence or sway our children to believe what we believe as far as voting goes. Does this apply to our faith, also?
