Notice the Catechism about a grave sin and excommunication. Those Catholics who support Obama are basically excommunicating themselves.

Seems to me there are people who can rationalize anything.

Catholics who are pro-abortion feel that the Vatican is behind the times. They feel that abortion is a “social justice” issue, in that people shouldn’t be “punished” with a child if they don’t want one. They think Jesus would approve of abortion for these “social justice” reasons. Truly progressive Catholics feel that abortion would be approved of by God because of the concept of “creation care” - Jesus would not want the planet to be too overpopulated and polluted.

How can Catholics for Obama rationalize their support for the pro-choice candidate?Because they are just nominal Catholics, and their religion really doesn't mean anything to them anyway.

The Bible isn’t a like the Constitution is (or as they claim it to be), a living document. It doesn’t change with “the times”.

“I knew Carter was wrong in his views about Roe and soft toward permissive abortion. But even as a priest, I justified working for him because…he was right on so many more of the “Catholic” issues than his opponent seemed to be. The moral calculus looked easy.”
This is the argument of a weak intellect and an even weaker soul. It is not in any way Catholic.

A good question but I don’t think it’s particularly relevant to just Obama. A whole array of Catholic politicians who support abortion have been hugely popular among their constituents - Kerry, Kennedy, Durbin, etc. What to me is most egregious is those who have supported “late term” abortions which are clearly nothing other than infanticide. The real point is not just how a Catholic but any CHRISTIAN can justify this. I think the probable answer is that liberalism, not Christianity, is their ultimate belief system.

Simple - it is better to murder innocents by the millions than admit any conservative has ever been right about anything. If you think about it, that maxim has been the defining character of the entire left for oh, about 75 years. And counting.
