Vote For Life

"This is Bishop Rene H. Gracida, reminding all Catholics that they must vote in this election with an informed conscience. A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-abortion candidate."

Of course the Catholic Church wants to influence voters! The Church is very clear about what it believes and professes to be true and holy. Life is sacred, and anyone who so carelessly destroys it should not be in power, because they will continue to allow it to be destroyed.

ProfMTH, a lot of American Catholics are in dissent and your point is? As if we haven't known this to have been the case for years. The Church will not change the truth; people have the free-will to dissent from it. One would expect the Church to attempt to influence the outcome of the election. One should expect no less. If the Church didn't attempt to, it would no longer be preaching truth. Silence can be very loud.

@VoiceOfModeration " In my opinion, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 were the 4 best presidents in the last 50 years of American poli-history."

That's nice. But, as you no doubt know, this is merely an expression of opinion. So it doesn't really get us anywhere.

"All I'm saying is that not every one agrees with you on that point so it shouldn't be taken as a given."

If evidence of Mr. Bush's poor performance must be produced, that's not a problem. There is an abundance of it.

@VoiceOfModeration ...language sometimes because I'm not even very good at expressing myself. All I'm saying is that not every one agrees with you on that point so it shouldn't be taken as a given. Some people think Bush 43 actually did a lot of good - laying the groundwork in the Middle East for instance etc. It's all complex arguments and differing viewpoints.

[VoiceOfModeration]

@ProfMTH I would. In my opinion, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 were the 4 best presidents in the last 50 years of American poli-history. I'm also of the opinion that the Democrat party just hasn't been the same ever since Kennedy, though I would say Obama has been much better then either Carter or Clinton. But listen, you're a prof, you've read a lot more books than I have - I don't even know how much longer I'll last in school, you're smarter than me. I have to resort to inflammatory...

@VoiceOfModeration "... it's debatable whether or not we can just dismiss Bush 43 as "leaving behind a disaster""

It is? Well, perhaps you might try making the case that George W. Bush didn't leave behind a disaster and then we can see whether it actually admits of debate.

[VoiceOfModeration]

@ProfMTH To be fair ProfMTH, it's debatable whether or not we can just dismiss Bush 43 as "leaving behind a disaster"

There is no such thing as an unwanted child. Do you realize how long the wait is for families who want to adopt? In most cases they have to wait YEARS, sometimes five or more. The adoption centers are not "overcrowded."

Even when parents do not want the child they created, there is no reason to kill the child.

[familyguyfan505]

Yes, because we all want the adoption centers to be even more overcrowded with unwanted children. /sarcasm

If you truly are a belever you shouldnt even be in the military.........

[Catholic2Max]

There are many "Catholics" (by name alone) who support abortion, too. That doesn't change the Catholic Church's stance. The unified Church of Catholicism will always stand up for the truth, no matter what others do or say. The truth about abortion is that it is the illegal slaughter of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of innocent AMERICAN civilians.

46 million per year to be exact.

[migo53333]

But, for whatever reason the church still likes Columbus........and i know many catholics who supported the illegal slaughter of hundreds of thousands of iraqui civilians.......uuummm I mean the "war on terror".......
