During Lent!! We are participating in prayer and fasting for 4o days to end abortion, and suddenly, the common good trumps telling the truth.

Let these “catholics” face their maker after defending the liberal death industry.

I think Christianity needs to operate on a personal level. Have a personal relationship with God. Form relationships with other people. Help someone. Spread the Word. All of this is good and all of this should be part of each individual's life.

But-- the "common good"? -- there's nothing personal about that. I have no use for collectivism. I see it as dehumanizing. I'm against treating any individual human as simply a member of a general class. They disappear that way.

People who emphasize thecommon good are up to no good as far as I'm concerned.

No, I’m a real Catholic!

“Common Good” is a bumpersticker that is attached to garbage legislation, in the hope of gaining support.

This is simply communism “cloaked” as Christanity.

Comforting the sick along with aiding the poor are an individual choice not a collective choice.

Taking a page from Milton Friedman, If I believe that the most efficient way of using my wealth to help the needy is to help the alcoholic begging on the street, then that should my choice.

Passing a bill that provides aid(redistributes wealth—social justice) to the needy in the name of the ‘common good’ is just an excuse by the left to ease their guilt of not using their own wealth for the common good.

When we die, that is how we will be judged —INDIVIDUALLY— by our Creator.

Ya know, its about time the “Catholic Church” (that is the real church with the Pope in Rome) should consider steps to take legal ownership of the name “Catholic” - like the NFL does with it’s name.

Organizations like this one and the “catholichealthcare.us” have no church affiliation, yet openly claim to represent a “catholic” position. Sitting ones butt in the pew of a Catholic Church gives no more right to speak as the Church’s representative than watching a football game entitles one to speak for the NFL.

The Catholic Church does enough to confuse people with its wishy washy unintelligible position on Health Care with out the help of these bogus groups.

The Guttmacher (sp) Institute claims that abortions will go up by 30% under 0bamacare. This was reported this morning by Rick Santorum on Bill Bennett’s show.
