Mark W. Roche is dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame.

So, this guy says an honest examination of the issues from a Catholic perspective should compel a Catholic to vote for Kerry. What do you think of that?

Well as a Catholic, a veteran, an American and a conservative I think he is an effin idiot, another in a long line of Pacifists for Genocide.

A Catholic in name only. Excommunicate him, God already has.

The New York Times is working overtime for the Kerry campaign. They've gotten the memos on which constituencies Kerry is weak on, and they're trying to help him shore them up.

Back in my days in Catholic grade school, I always remeember the nuns stressing that sticking a large needle into the head of a partially born infant, and sucking the brains out was a matter of personal choice and convenience for a woman.

"A Catholic in name only. Excommunicate him, God already has."

I tend to agree with this assessment best.

This is like a replay of the op-ed the Times ran a few years back when they dug up "Father" Drinan to defend Clinton's veto of the partial-birth abortion bill. They are all in favor of hearing from the religiously-minded whenever those pious folk support the policies most favored by the godless and the depraved.

Reminds me of the shame I felt over the most famous graduate of Georgetown U and his lack of moral conviction.

The reason why is that he is misleading people. Our Lord said that if anyone caused anyone to believe in Him falsely that it is better for him to have a giant millstone hung around his neck and he is cast into the sea. Prof. Roche meets that critera and is only living on borrowed time. God is only giving him time to repent.

Voting Our Conscience, Not Our Religion [Catholic Prof Says "Vote Kerry"]

If one claims to be Catholic but their "conscience" deviates significantly from Roman Catholic Church tradition, they need to either reconsider the state of their conscience or the status of their membership in the Roman Catholic Church.

I agree. I also believe we will be seeing increasingly desperate acts of media bias as November 2 nears. The DNC needs to re-energize the Howard Dean "red meat eaters" down the home stretch for the voter fraud...er...,I mean, get out the vote effort.
