Bishop Gracida - Voting, Abortion, Obama

Incredibly, polls suggest that a majority of Roman Catholics are planning to vote for Obama. Apparently they are prepared to deny the teachings of Christ, the Bible and the Church on the most fundamental issue of all: LIFE.

if the candidate you want to vote for cannot even respect the life of a child in the womb, then how does any other issue matter, they are meaningless without respect of life itself.

I'm tired of listening to these religious leaders on their pick and choose topics to persuade the flock on how to vote or think....what about giving to the poor? war crimes? loving the sinner? corporate greed?...I could go on....

Abortion, if not a health threat to mothers, is sheer murder. Elective abortion due to heath risk is understandable. But abortion that is performed just because it's unplanned is murder and stupid. Those mothers should face the consequence of their folly. Obama, as president, should have known that basic fact of life.

I agree with you. Our Bishops (USCCB) need to start being our spiritual leaders and lead the Pastors in the right direction. They must have courage to speak out and be obedient to the Holy Father. The Pope is infallible not the bishops. My family is no longer donating to the USCCB and sending our money straight to Rome.

It isn't that people aren't listening to Bishops say about morality it's that Bishops aren't really saying anything about morality they have lost all their courage due to the sins of a few men Ministers and Pastors in other Christian faiths have a higher rate of abuse but they are not held accountable in the same way Just like there is a double standard for Rs and Ds in the media It's funny how we are all supposed to be tolerant except when it comes to anything concerning Conservatism

As an American of Colombian origin, I am getting tired of the Obama supporters always bringing racism because The Church and I oppose Obama. He is not qualified to be president. He supports infanticide, supports FOCA which will force Catholic Hospitals to perform abortion or face penalties and jail. How could a Catholic support such a despicable person as Obama for president. No Way, No How No Obama.

Both church and state overlap over human life. When a law denies human rights, as in slavery and abortion, it is the duty of citizens to speak up about the wrong as it is the duty to elect officials who will not vote in favor of murder and the like.

It is too bad that you are retired because I would enjoy reporting you to the IRS in order to have your tax exemption removed. This country is built on the separation of church and state, and involving religion in politics results in disaster! God gave us free will and with that free will Catholics decide against abortions for ourselves and counsel those we know against it. But we cannot MAKE decisions for others or judge others.God will judge us all in the end. Stop playing God, Bishop Gracida.

All politicians are Pro-Choice, but some just claim to be Pro-Life during election times. John McCain did not want to repeal Roe vs. Wade until this September. His wife did not even receive that memo before she did an interview with Katie Couric! I am also questioning why the attacks from you Catholic bishops are so strong against Obama when you didn't attack Kerry, Clinton, or Gore quite so adamantly?? Obama is not pro-abortion, no one is! Is it racism or money from the McCain campaign?
