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.

The problem as to how Catholics must vote was one never intended by God. He set up kings to rule, popes to advise kings how to rule and God had laid down the rules for the popes to instruct the kings.

Satan did away with Christian kingdoms (only one ruling king was present in the kings seats at Vatican I, Portugal, after which Our Lady appeared at Fatima) and replaced God's rulers with corrupt man-decided rules. As happened in Ireland recently, 33% of the people decided Ireland was to follow Sodom and Gomorrah laws that pretended ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs and lesbians could 'marry.' Why even our ex-president, 'theologian' Mary MacAleese, who advises all how to be a Catholic, outed her son as a homo and canvassed the people to vote for their 'right' to marry.

We in Ireland have a government election in 4 weeks. Not one politician opposed the homo-marriage change to our constitution even though 700,000 voted against it to no avail, nor one who has opposed the oncoming abortion legislation. Indeed the Labour Party and all the left are canvassing for election on the basis that they will bring in abortion quicker, take over 'Catholic' schools quicker and all that stuff.

As an example of what we in Ireland are up to now, a friend whose children go to a 'Catholic' school received a phone call the other day from the school. My friends had left them in no doubt that their kids were not to have sex lessons or anything like that at school, that she would decide these matters. This call told them the kids (about 14-16) were having ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ SEX INSTRUCTIONS in their school so as she could remove her kids.

In other words Catholics who put their faith and morals before 'its the economy stupid' have no one to vote for in modern 'Catholic' Ireland where 90% or so ticked Catholic in the census box last time.

As far as my wife and I and I hope my kids, are concerned, there is no lesser evil, no lesser principle to vote for. So here are two, hopefully seven, who have no one to vote for in this DEMOCRACY of ours.

It seems to me the liberals in Ireland are more honest than the liberals in America.

If those were Americans "canvassing for election" they would be saying they're for change. That's the end of the description: "change." They keep it vague so that it can mean whatever the listener wants it to mean.

It is neither "prudent" nor "permissible" to vote for a lesser evil. Sorry. That's false ends-justifies-the-means moral reasoning. It is NOT Catholic.

And toss in a dose of moral relativism for good measure:

Everything depends upon a hierarchy of the most important values and
issues taking priority over lesser ones.

Lesser-evil can only apply within the context of two "worthy" candidates, those who do not hold anything that's contrary to Catholic faith or morals or natural law.

By voting for a candidate, we FORMALLY (not only materially) cooperate in whatever evil actions that the candidate would perpetrate upon assuming office. Just because you "don't agree" doesn't make you a MATERIAL accomplice.

Who wrote this crap anyway?
