What happened to the sense of morality?

In a Sunday Post Dispatch article, Betty Cuniberti writes about "Moms for Kerry" and about one woman, in particular, who professes to be a devout Catholic yet intends to vote for the anti-life Kerry:

So, which of these things do you think describes the woman who started the Greater St. Louis Moms for Kerry?

* Never been a Democrat activist
* Lives in Wildwood
* Stay-at-home mother
* Devout Catholic
* Born a Busch
* A home-schooler
* A nun for 11 years
* Opposes abortion
* Primary residence in St. Croix

OK, that last one's a joke. But all the rest apply to Tina Busch-Nema, no relation to beer royalty, just a 46-year-old mom who tools around West County in a minivan bearing the bumper sticker "I'm a Catholic for Kerry and it's not a sin."

Yeah, right. Tell that to Archbishop Raymond Burke.

Actually, she did. He wrote back sticking to his view that Catholics who knowingly vote for a pro-choice candidate are committing a grave sin.

Tina agrees with the late Chicago Archbishop and Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who spoke of a "seamless garment" of many pro-life social issues, opposing not only abortion but also the death penalty, euthanasia, war and poverty.

Burke, Tina says, is "being irresponsible and dangerous telling Catholics to vote based on one issue. He talks about gay marriage - that's not a life issue. The people I go to church with are outraged about it."

The same mantra that's always used by those who have not a clue about what they are talking. It's depressing to see Catholics ignore the teaching of the Church about the evils of abortion and thinking that all issues are of equal weight.
