Washington DC, Jun 25, 2008 / 01:23 am (CNA).- A new survey from Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) indicates that Catholics may lean towards voting for the Democratic candidate for president in the 2008 election....Should we be surprised that there are professed Catholics embracing the culture of death? This is the fruit of failed catechesis and failure to discipline. It is repulsive to even consider how a person who professes to be a follower of Christ could support anyone who promotes the murder of the unborn or partially born. That they call themselves "Christian" or "Catholic" is an abomination.
...According to the study, pro-abortion sentiment has slightly increased among adult Catholics. In 2002, 55 percent somewhat or strongly agreed with the statement “A woman should have the right to choose to abort an unwanted pregnancy.” In 2006, the percentage in agreement increased to 58 percent.
The enemy has breached the walls and has enlisted the aid of our own relatives and friends. Have we diligently prayed for them? Have we made reparations for our sins and for theirs? Have we "invited" them to leave while they ponder their their heretical or heterdox views, thereby sparing the as yet uninfected with their 'disease'?
