And another one, titled "Vote your [malformed] conscience"

Vote your conscience

TO MY FELLOW Catholic voters: Please vote your conscience for whom you think will best help our country overcome all the problems that affect us, not just one. The decision to have an abortion boils down to only one person and that person is the woman who decides that she wants to have an abortion, whether it is legal or illegal. That will never change regardless of who is in political office. Archbishop Burke, please stop using this important election to divert attention away from the sex abuse scandal and the attempted cover-up.
This appears to be another professed Catholic who denies that the Church has the authority to teach authoritatively in matters of faith and morals. It is a most grievious sin to counsel others to ignore the infallible teaching of the Church with regard to direct abortion (or on any article of faith). Archbishop Burke has recently restated the constant teaching of the Church, confirmed again by the Holy Father, on the intrinsic evil of abortion, yet some, including priests, reduce the importance of the right to life to "just one of many issues".

These confused people are in dire need of grace. Pray that their minds might be enlightened and that their wills may be conformed to the will of Christ. There have always been those who have refused to follow our Lord. Keep them in your prayers so that they may be converted.

Another "Town Talk" post here.
