Catholics must obey God at polls

Here is an Opinion article published in the Atlanta Journal Constitution by a Catholic parishioner supporting Archbishop Donoghue and others:

Atlanta Archbishop John Francis Donoghue and others have chosen to remain faithful to the vows of obedience they professed at their ordination. I fully support them.

I think most Catholics support the good and faithful bishops.

And then there is this opposing opinion. 'Archbishop does not control our thinking'.
And to whom does the author refer for her dissenting opinion? None other than Cardinal Theodore McGarrick of Washington, Cardinal Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles and theologian John Courtney Murray. Apparently she does not hear the voice of the Holy Father or Cardinal Ratzinger. She states, in part, to support defiance to "Hunmanae Vitae" and other moral issues:

Listening to other authorities in addition to the hierarchy became a necessity for most U.S. Catholics after a pope issued the encyclical on birth control in the 1960s. At that time, many looked to the Canadian bishops' response — with its acknowledgment of the role of individual conscience — and to the reasoning of moral theologians to navigate the confusion caused by that encyclical.

The frequent use of abortion on demand, almost as a method of birth control, is not the only moral issue of importance to Catholics during this election year. The Scriptures and Catholic teaching call us to active concern for others, especially the poor, those enduring the violence of war, and all who suffer discrimination. This is not a one-issue election.

She could not be more wrong - all nearly all accounts. She would do much better to assent to the fullness of truth of Catholic Moral teachings and conform her will to that of Christ and His Church.
