Imitation which isn't flattery, but deception...

Fake 'Catholic Voters Guide' Published by Former Aide to John Kerry

From LifeSiteNews:

WASHINGTON, September 29, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An attempt to recapture the Catholic vote has been launched by Democratic supporters. A new 2006 Voter Guide has been put out by "Catholic in Alliance for the Common Good" (CACG) a group headed up by Alexia Kelley who in 2004 worked as a religion advisor to John Kerry in the closing weeks of his campaign.

An initial printing of one million copies of "Voting for the Common Good: A Practical Guide for Conscientious Catholics" will be distributed nationwide through on-the-ground organizers and partner networks in all 50 states, says CACG. The groups admits in a press release that the new voter guide is a response to the original "Catholic Voters Guide" issued by Catholic Answers last year.
. . .
Commenting on the new 12-page booklet, Catholic League president Bill Donohue said "The voter guide is a slick attempt to get the abortion albatross off the necks of Catholic Democrats, but it's a failed effort-the noose is still there. Instead of listening to James Carville and Paul Begala, who have counseled Democrats to drop their opposition to parental notification laws and their support for keeping partial-birth abortion legal, the best Catholics in Alliance can do is say it is opposed to abortion. But it makes it painfully clear that it will never join any effort to ban any abortions, including partial-birth."

These people continue to follow the example of the father of lies...What would be really interesting is to see if any dioceses in the U.S. opts to use this trash.

Perhaps, I'm reading it wrong since I am so skeptical of Catholic News Service, but a recent article discussing "voters guides" seems to favor the "deceptive" guide from Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, probably because Catholic News Service is just as confused about the "non-negotiable" life issues.
