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 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.
Amen!
We have long called them CINOS here at FR. (Catholics In Name Only.)
Exactly right.
Can you be a Catholic and support the death penalty?
My sister-in-law (the Godmother of my children!) has adopted Kmeic's "alternative," as have my brother-in-law (former seminarian, yet!) and my in-laws. My stance is as yours is: abortion is the gravest of mortal sins, and no one who claims to be Catholic can support Obama. In fact, I've stated that I do not believe that my SIL can continue to stand as Godmother if she continues on her path.
Needless to say, most of the family now considers me persona non grata.
These are dark, testing times. I pray daily that the scales will fall from their eyes.
Direct abortion is murder.
