A Catholic apologetics group whose guide for Catholic voters was criticized by the US bishops' conference's lawyers is now preparing to put the guide before over one million voters in eight major metropolitan areas.Source.
The group Catholic Answers is taking out a full-page ad in USA Today on Tuesday, August 31, which will provide a synopsis of the five key issues they've identified for Catholic voters to consider when they go to the polls: abortion, same-sex unions, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning, and euthanasia. Catholic Answers' president, Karl Keating, said the guide will inform Catholics that they can't deliberately vote against the Church's moral teachings and still call themselves "good Catholics."
As an aside, I have heard that our pastor has decided to send the Catholic Answers Voter's Guide to all registered parishioners. Previous indications were that he was opposed to even allowing it at the parish - Why the change? Maybe it was the many letters, etc, that were sent; maybe it was due to the Archbishop...? Maybe it is God's answer to the many prayers of the faithful...
