Speaking of Obama Cathoclsi who’re having a tough time of it right now, Doug Kmiec is making an appearance in Michigan some time soon...
Just more WHITE CATHOLIC GUILT.
It’s a mortal sin for any Catholic to vote for the extreme pro-abortionist, Barack Obama.
I’ll repeat that every day from now until Election Day, so maybe some Catholics will “get it.”
The 0bama Catholics in our area consider things like “mortal sin” to be quaint concepts the Church decided to throw out at Vatican II.
Under America's current abortion law, far more babies have been murdered than terrorists have been interrogated. I can understand a lot of things, but someone who cares more about the treatment of terror suspects than the treatment of babies who are unfortunate enough to have mothers who want them killed is beyond my understanding. I don't even see him advocating for painless abortion. We would not be allowed to kill dogs or cats by dismemberment or saline poisoning.
Well said!, and how refreshing to hear.
I appreciate your stand Palladin, you are exactly right!
“screw the babies, I want a check from the govt!”
“comes reasonably close” to embodying “an alternative way to be pro-life.”
I’d like for the learned professor to explain to me how consistantly voting in favor of dealth, Obama is reasonable close to the Catholic pro-life view? Is killing an unborn child the alternative to life? Well, I guess that does make sense ...
You cannot claim to be a Catholic and support Abortion... If you believe abortion is acceptable, you are not a Roman Catholic. I don’t care how many rosaries you pray a day.
Human Life is precious and sacred and begins at conception, Period. Abortion is Murder and a violation of the 10 commandments. That’s Catholic belief and teaching.. if you feel otherwise, you aren’t Catholic. You can claim to be all you want, but you aren’t.
I think there’s more at play here than guilt. What Kmiec and others like him are doing (by promoting Obama) is illogical and damaging. I think the motivator is not guilt, but desire for power and adulation. Given that Kmiec should know better, I’d assert that the Prince of Darkness has seduced Kmiec. Sound dramatic? Well, look at Sarah Palin’s Down Syndrome baby and think about how Kmiec is supporting a candidate who supports the “right†for babies like Trig Palin to be murdered in utero, and then tell me this situation is NOT dramatic. We should pray for Kmiec et al.
i totally agree. i am very glad to see Weigel taking on Kmiec in this regard. i find it unconscionable that Kmiec is giving cover to liberal Catholics by taking this stand.
i don’t think your suggestion is at all dramatic, i happen to agree with you completely.
Is it possible to be seriously pro-life and vote for any Democrat?
Is it possible to be seriously Catholic and vote for any Democrat?
Unfortunately, thanks to the Church’s jettisoning of the Baltimore Catehism in their religious instruction back in the seventies.
Amen!
We have long called them CINOS here at FR. (Catholics In Name Only.)
Exactly right.
What do Catholics hope to gain from voting for Hussein?
They should all take a short trip to Muslim countries and observe how Christians are persecuted. Catholics who vote for Hussein are particularly stupid and should not come back but stay in those countries.
