A Catholic priest has released a clear and concise message spelling out the culpability for Catholics and civic responsibility when it comes to backing pro-abortion candidates in an election.
The blood of these unborn children is on your hands if you vote for and support an aggressively pro-abortion politician, states Father Mark Goring, CC, in the video message.
There are a lot of Catholics who do so, the priest explains, something he finds incomprehensible, and for him this makes them stupid Catholics.
These Catholics dont realize that by voting for an aggressively pro-abortion politican they share the responsibility for the death of these unborn children, he tells viewers.
The YouTube video was released August 4, before the end of primary season in the current election cycle.
Father Goring is the director of the Catholic Charismatic Center in Houston, TX, a mission of the Companions of the Cross, an Ottawa, Ontario-based Society of Apostolic Life focused on Christ crucified, spiritual life and evangelization. He is also a host for the Canadian Food for Life TV Ministry and has hosted a Bible teaching program for Radio Maria in the U.S.
In underscoring his video message on Catholics supporting pro-abortion politicians Father Goring quotes St. Pauls First Letter to the Corinthians, which says that we are Gods temple and His spirit dwells within us, along with citing Jeremiah 1:5, to state, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. He also points out how the regard for morals in society has led to Catholics succumbing to the culture and going along with supporting abortion.
Our western world is experiencing a devastating moral decline, Father Goring states. One of the things that I find absolutely incomprehensible is the number of Catholics who vote for an aggressively pro-abortion politician. The Companions of the Cross priest closes the message with a call for Catholics to fully recognize Gods gift of life and in doing so, to not support abortion in the voting booth. As Catholics we need to recognize the dignity of human life and the sacredness of human life, Father Goring implores viewers. As a Catholic you cannot vote and support a politician who is promoting abortion. In the name of Jesus you have to vote against pro-abortion politicians.
Go Trump. Jesus is SAVIOR!!
wonder is a certain anti-Catholic poster on FReep will comment on this....

That goes for any Democrat in the Democrat Party and half the Supreme Court.

I hope not, but then again maybe they will find a way to say something negative.
Pretty sure this is in reference to the Hillary vs. Donald contest. The two show quite a spread between their attitudes. Isn’t this viewed as a prudential question even in the Catholic house, i.e. if there really was no meaningful choice that would be one question, but there is a meaningful choice here?
Trump wants to end Planned Parenthood funding of almost $500 million, if does this one thing, it’s good enough for me.
Long overdue.
Another priest’s views are very good!

Great video about voting!
“Technically” there is a non abortion arm of PP and that’s what’s getting the bennies now. However this gives the abortion arm of PP the name equity. Cease to let the abortion arm of PP hide behind the benevolence good will of the other one (at least not at tax payer expense) and we would shortly see a lot more public awareness.
Hey Catholics, how come politicians fail to denounce scum like Cuomo and others who claim to be Catholic yet push abortion rights?
