BUMP!

A couple of excerpts:

Quote

For a Catholic, there can be no doubt that the issues that take the
highest priority must be the moral issues, and not personal or economic
issues.

Quote

It is not obligatory to vote for a lesser evil, but simply prudent
and permissible.

I have a feeling that Pope Pius XII couldn't even imagine what the lesser of two evils would mean in 2016.

That might be true, but, as Catholics, we do have a pretty bright red line; if you are a candidate that wants to save babies you are better than a candidate who wants to continue killing them.

Of course that is true, but when have Republicans ever pushed an effective means to end abortion? I have yet to see anything effective from them other than the occasional mentioning of a pro-life stance. Not to mention the Republican party have been huge supporters of Israel and the genocide of the middle east.

I'm no Democrat but at least the Democrat doesn't use the name of God to justify horrendous acts.

There's be a list which a Catholic should use to determine whether or not to support a candidate. If the candidate does at least half of the following then you can use the "lesser of two evils argument". Otherwise they're just as evil as the next.

The list consists of (but is not limited to): Are they pro-life (and actually act upon it)? Are they against Israel and it's corrupt war? Are they against sodomy? Are they against the free flow of pornography and similar items found on the media? Do they support the preservation of the constitution and the founding principles of this nation? Do they support the idea of family (this includes denouncing remarrying several times with the ex still breathing)?...

I could go on for hours making a 100 page list but these are the most basic of Catholic principles and are essential for any nation to survive without destroying it's soul and branding itself an enemy to Christ.

We as Catholics must realize that there is nothing popular that holds true to the laws of Christ. If it's popular, it's popular for a reason and that's the reality of it. We are the minority of all minorities and we don't have a say anymore. Minorities only are allowed to speak when promoting the ideas of the liberal agenda, a list we are incompatible with (fortunately). Instead of voting this year spend that time praying for a quick return of our Lord because prayer is the only vote that matters anymore.
