US bishop: Voting for Biden requires ‘reason that outweighs’ 860,000 abortions

Bishop Thomas Paprocki asked, ‘Is it a sin to vote for Biden?’

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, October 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Thomas Paprocki said that voting for pro-abortion Democrat Joe Biden in the upcoming election would require “a proportionately grave reason that outweighs the killing of 860,000 babies per year,” adding that even the death penalty is no such reason.

In a follow-up to his recent video contrasting President Donald Trump’s pro-life record with his opponent’s pro-abortion stance, the bishop of Springfield, Illinois, attempted to answer the question, “Is it a sin to vote for Joe Biden?”

After detailing the extreme pro-abortion records of the Democrat candidate and his running mate, Paprocki briefly explained the moral principles involved in cooperation with the sins of others.

The Francis, of course, will never elevate the good Bishop Paprocki to the College of Cardinals; after all, the bishop is too rigid for Jorge's vision of francischurch.

My answer to the question is it wrong to vote for democrats given their stance on abortion is yes. People who’s vote allows this to continue are crud. God will deal with them one day.

Anyone who supports the murder of innocent little preborn babies is not Christian.

That includes anyone who insists that opposition to murdering innocent little preborn babies is just one issue of many like Francis has.

It is not just one issue of many.

Protecting babies is the most important thing there is.

All good things depend on it.
