Baltimore Archbishop: Catholic Voters Can’t Vote for a Candidate Who Stands for an Intrinsic Evil

This has been stated time and time again. Nevertheless, it bears repeating.

“This is a big moment for Catholic voters to step back from their party affiliation,” Baltimore archbishop William E. Lori tells me from the Knights of Columbus annual convention in Anaheim, Calif.

For Catholic voters in November, Lori advises, “The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances? If that’s the case, a Catholic, regardless of his party affiliation, shouldn’t be voting for such a person.”
. . .
“Is it consistent to profess our beliefs in church on Sunday, and then during the week to promote business practices or medical procedures contrary to those beliefs?” the pope, perhaps prophetically, asked during his 2008 visit to Washington, D.C.

...“If we are going to transform the culture from within, which we are called to do, and defend our basic freedoms,” it will be primarily the role of the laity, Lori tells me.

“The bishops are teachers,” he said, but political leadership “really needs to come from the laity as citizens and mothers and fathers and voters.”

When it comes to election advice for Catholics: “The reality is we are defending something that transcends party. The defense of religious liberty,” he said, “should not be a Democratic or Republican issue.” For a Catholic voter, this should be “fundamental, as people of faith.”...

Is it possible to see some PUBLIC EXCOMMUNICATIONS of those "Catholics" who publicly and obstinately defy the Church and her shepherds?

For example, Archbishop Lori could address the scandal occurring from the words and actions of former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend who is promoting same-sex "marriage" and is urging Catholics to uphold Maryland's same-sex "marriage" law at the polls. She is pushing Catholics to oppose Church teaching.

NY Catholic Bishops: Right to Life Outweighs other Concerns in Voting

New York’s Catholic Bishops are telling the state’s Catholics this year that the right to life must be their first concern when they step into the voting booth in November, not party loyalty or other issues where good people may differ in opinion or judgment.

The pastoral letter “Our Cherished Right, Our Solemn Duty,” signed by New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan and seven other New York state bishops, says Catholics must be “cautious” when they cast votes this election, so as “not to be guided solely by party loyalty or by self interest...”

Pro-abort Nancy Pelosi - an obstinate, lying heretic

Pelosi Calls Pro-Life Democrats Liars, Third Abortion Funding Denial This Week

In a press conference today. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied the abortion funding in the Senate health care bill for the third time in the last seven days. Reacting to a promise from pro-life Democrats to kill the bill over the massive abortion funding it contains, Pelosi essentially called them liars.

This morning, Rep. Bart Stupak said he and pro-life Democrats were prepared to vote against the bill because it funds abortions and contains other pro-abortion problems.

Pelosi got exasperated when a reporter asked at her weekly press conference about their unwillingness to support the bill over abortion.

“Let me say this: This is not about abortion! This is a bill about providing quality, affordable health care for all Americans,” she said, according to Politico....

She daily continues to condemn herself by her own lies, her stance as a death peddler, and her continued obstinacy in open defiance of God and the Church. Pray for the soul of this ardent disciple of Satan that she may repent while she still can.

John McCormack, a pro-life writer at the conservative Weekly Standard, said Pelosi is lying about the abortion funding component of the Senate bill...

Richard Doerflinger, the associate director of the pro-life office of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops put Pelosi's myth to bed in response to the second set of falsehoods....

Is it not the sign of a mentally disturbed crackpot to call those of whom she wants support of Resident 0bama Deathcare LIARS? Is that how one gains support? I fear she is so consumed with evil that her soul and conscience are now dead. And, as usual, where are the bishops?

Vatican: Bishops Must Refuse Communion to Pro-Abortion Politicians

Washington, DC (4 February 2009) – Judie Brown, president of American Life League, issued a statement today in response to an interview in which Archbishop Raymond Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican's highest court, stated,

There's not a question that a Catholic who publicly, and after admonition, supports pro-abortion legislation is not to receive Holy Communion and is not to be given Holy Communion … This is a law of the universal Church and it should be applied.

About the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Burke commented,

I think this argument [that this matter should be decided by the USCCB] too is being used by people who don't want to confront the issue, this whole "wait 'til the Conference decides"...well the Conference has been discussing this since at least 2004. And nothing happens… Individual bishops and priests simply have to do their duty. They have to confront politicians, Catholic politicians, who are sinning gravely and publicly in this regard. And that's their duty.

Statement by Judie Brown:

"It has long been American Life League's contention that canon law applies within the Church in the same way that state, federal or local law applies to the citizens of the United States. At American Life League, our focus has been on Canon 915, which is written for the express purpose of protecting the body and blood of Christ from sacrilege.

We have repeatedly called on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to enforce this law, abide by this law and deny the Holy Eucharist to any public figure who claims to be Catholic while at the same time supporting abortion. Abortion is an intrinsically evil act, and no Catholic who supports that act in any way should be permitted to receive Christ.

We are deeply grateful for the definitive words of Archbishop Raymond Burke. Archbishop Burke was also asked about Catholic bishops who claim that denying Holy Communion to a pro-abortion politician "makes the Communion rail a [political] battleground." He simply and succinctly responded, "Nonsense." We extend our sincere gratitude to Archbishop Burke for once again making it clear why every single Catholic bishop and priest not only should enforce Canon 915, but is obliged to do so for the sake of souls and for the sake of protecting Christ in the Holy Eucharist from sacrilege."

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to natural death.

Election III—Assault on Conscience and Reality

Fr Thomas Euteneuer writes in Spirit & Life:

November 4th was not just a historic date in history because of the election of the nation’s first black president; it also marked a new division that was established in our country between those who have consciences formed in the truth and those who don’t. I have constantly spoken of the need to battle for America’s very soul, but I am seeing that there is more at stake here: we are engaged in a battle to define reality, and the outcome of that battle undoubtedly determines the fate of souls....

"Catholics" in Alliance [with evil] Issue Survey

The group, "Catholics"[So-called] in Alliance for the Common Good, has issued a survey now that Americans have placed the nation at risk by voting for abortion, infanticide, marxism, socialism, raising the white flag of surrender, spreading poverty, stifling of our Bill of Rights, nationalizing private enterprise, and only God knows what other evils await us. However "Catholics" in Alliance sees America at a[n] historic crossroads, and a new president-elect and a new Congress coming to Washington...

These promoters of dissent, "Catholics" in Alliance, want to hear from you about

how you think we should put our movement's common good platform into action so as to best work toward the common good this year.

Please click here and complete our survey of the top three issues you think the Alliance should focus on through advocacy and public awareness campaigns in the next year. These issues are in alphabetical, not in any priority order. We will definitely continue to work to build a consistent culture of life by advocating for the Pregnant Women's Support Act and other efforts, therefore we are not including it on the list because we are committed to this priority.
With input from you and our partner organizations and board members, we will prioritize these issues. This does not mean we will not work on all of the issues, but it will help us focus our resources!

What are the main issues listed from which one may select? Let's have a look-see:

* Climate Change/Environment [change the laws of nature, man is god!]

* Comprehensive Immigration Reform [Amnesty for all law breakers, criminals]

* Health Care: Advocating for universal health care [gov't bureaucrats can do it better]

* Living Wages and Rights of Workers: Employee Free Choice Act [close businesses]

* Poverty Reduction – Cut U.S. poverty in half [hike entitlements, lower standard of living]

* Responsible End to Iraq War [surrender]

More government intervention into many areas where it has no constitutional authority...And where is the fundamental right to life? Oh yes, already a priority [on the back burner, no doubt].

May God have mercy on us! After nearly 50 million abortions (not counting the millions upon millions of abortions caused by artificial contraception), perhaps we are to suffer a divine chastisement for our abysmal moral failures and morally bankrupt behavior?

Maybe I need to get down on my knees more often and ask for forgiveness and mercy? Perhaps mt sacrifices and prayers could be more sincere? Could Our Lord be granting our desires by allowing us the type of leaders many have requested?

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my
sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend
Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly
resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near
occasions of sin.

Vote Wisely-The Future of Our Country & Our State Is at Stake

Sharing this this note, from Missourians Against Human Cloning:

Tomorrow could be the most important election of our time. I urge you to arm
yourselves with the facts regarding candidates and ballot issues and share those
facts with your friends and family. A few online resources for information on
candidates, judges and statewide ballot issues are:

MAHC Candidate Survey Results (updated)

Family Research Council Presidential Survey

Missouri Family Network

MetroVoice (provides links to other endorsements and
recommendations as well)

While a great deal of information regarding the Presidential candidates has been aired, published and emailed, one significant fact has NOT been widely publicized. You may well know Senator Obama supports human cloning and embryonic stem cell research and advocates using our tax dollars to fund this unethical research but did you realize he does NOT support funding adult stem cell research? He would deny funding to the broad arena of ethical stem cell research which is producing real cures and treatments and waste our tax dollars on destructive and unproductive human cloning (FRC Presidential Survey above).

I realize the Presidential campaign is critically important and garners most of our attention. However, we will also be electing five of our six statewide officials tomorrow. Every one of these offices provides a stark contrast between candidates who oppose human cloning and those who champion unethical human experimentation. The MAHC survey provides a clear key to those who support a true ban on human cloning and those who do not.

Lastly, thanks to all of you who have rolled up your sleeves and joined me in making a difference these last 40 days. We are down to the wire now.

Please make a few more phone calls.
Please send a few more emails.
Please help volunteer to help a campaign tomorrow.

Please, please, please VOTE WISELY!

An open letter to our fellow Catholics on Election Eve

by Edward Morrissey and Elizabeth “The Anchoress” Scalia

Many of our Catholic friends support Barack Obama in the upcoming election, despite being the most radically pro-abortion presidential candidate in American history. Other Catholics have publicly declared support for Obama as Catholics, arguing that their faith leads them to choose Obama over the pro-life candidate, John McCain. We believe that they have overlooked in their arguments of “social justice” the foundation of our faith and of social justice: the sanctity of human life, and its origin.

It is not our intent to argue legalistically from the Catechism to our brethren. We have both covered that extensively in posts over the last few months. We want to remind our parishioners of the central fact that social justice has to start with the protection of innocent human life, and that our faith does not allow a trade between abortion and other social-justice policies....

HLI: Commending the Bishops

Faithful Catholics in the US have been both stunned and gratified by the recent show of episcopal strength in dealing with the heretical nonsense of “Catholics” in public life who clearly misrepresent the Church’s teaching on vital issues. To date, more than fifty bishops have spoken out about this kind of misconduct or issued guidelines about voting at this critical juncture in our nation’s history. The trend is truly heartening. Let’s pray that it continues! Much more could be done, of course, but I am grateful that more bishops are standing up to strengthen and protect the faith of millions. Many have been longing for this show of valor from our fathers in the faith—and yes, they are our spiritual fathers. When they are strong, we are strong; and when they are weak—the flock is ravaged by wolves....

Nor can we fail to mention the strong pro-life stances of Archbishops Burke (now in Rome) and Chaput (Denver) as well as Bishops Vasa (Baker, OR), Farrell and Vann (Dallas, TX), Martino (Scranton, PA) and Mallooly (Wilmington, DE) who are representatives of a group of other bishops who have made their voices heard forcefully on the Catholic voting issue....

He said do no harm...

The author of a letter in the Belleville News Democrat picks up on a phrase uttered by B. Hussein Obama/Soetoro in the 3rd debate:

The Hippocratic Oath, attributed to a 5th century B.C. Greek physician, was referred to by Sen. Barack Obama in the third presidential debate in support of his opposition to legislation designed to protect children who are born alive. Opposing protection of human life, even after abortion has not terminated that life, makes Obama not only the most extreme pro-abortion presidential candidate ever, but also the most extreme ever to serve in Congress, according to Robert George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University.

The real irony here is that the original Hippocratic Oath stated: "I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy."

Deletions from Hippocrates' principles, including his interdictions against abortion and euthanasia, have been occurring since the 1960s. The obvious shift in emphasis from serving the sick to claims to benefit "humanity" has an alarming, maybe even tyrannical, ring to it.

Hippocrates would surely be astounded at the distortions of his oath in today's politically correct "ethical" environment, and stunned at the invocation of his oath to defend abortion and infanticide.

My Latest Email from Heretics for Obama

'Catholics' United (to Satan) sent out a blast email (see related story here) Saturday:

What are you going to find on your car after Mass tomorrow?

Dear Supporter,

I'm writing to you tonight from suburban Philadelphia, where a team of Catholics United activists [heretics] is helping to protect parishes from attempts to leaflet church parking lots with partisan voting guides and other unapproved election materials.

Unapproved? Apparently these people think that authentically Catholic voters guides are, ipso facto, unapproved or unworthy of approval and they represent a clear and present danger to uninformed Catholics?

The good news is that we are finding it very easy to stop this potentially illegal activity. All we had to do tonight was let parish ushers know what was going on - they immediately asked the leafleters to leave! We're getting reports like this from members elsewhere in the country, in places like Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.

We wonder exactly what is illegal with truly Catholic guides? Fr Frank Pavove indicates that this attempt to stifle others may be illegal. He says:

"Please inform those to whom you communicate that they might also want to alert their pastors that a large number of people are ready to file lawsuits against any individual or institution who tries to intimidate or prevent citizens from fostering the electoral process or informing their fellow citizens about the candidates..."

I would have loved to see one of the bozos outside of Church this morning trying to restrict the lawful expression of one's right to speak the truth...But these Obama supporters have as much courage as their earthly leader - zilch!

Please join our effort by keeping watch over your parish parking lot during Mass tomorrow morning. If you see partisan activists placing unapproved literature on your fellow parishioners' cars, tell someone. It's our right and our duty to protect the sacred space of our churches from this sort of electioneering, and to defend parishes from potentially illegal activity.

In Peace,
Chris Korzen
Executive Director

I'm going to write this professed Catholic and see if he can tell me what I should consider 'unapproved' - the literature on my car this money did not back B Hussein Obama so I'm certain that it would fall into that category...

I wonder if "it's our right and our duty to protect the sacred space" of life in the womb - of protecting unborn children from intentional genocide? Certainly not for 'Catholics' United!

I'll let you know if there is a response

*** Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer By Ali Sina
(Obama exhibits a psychopathic narcissism)

[A MUST READ!!! In my opinion, having known & lived with someone with NPD, this article nails it: master manipulator, only concerned with self, a serial liar, thinks he's above the law, must be center of attention...Now I understand why I have such a powereful dislike of this man...
Some excerpts:]

In Vaknin’s words, “Pathological narcissism is a reaction to prolonged abuse and trauma in early childhood or early adolescence. The source of the abuse or trauma is immaterial: the perpetrators could be dysfunctional or absent parents, teachers, other adults, or peers.”

The pathological narcissist has a very weak sense of self. He compensates his devalued and injured self with pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a world. Narcissists simply don’t leave it. They carry this world of pretence into their adulthood. With the passage of time, this world becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can’t tell the difference.

When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a little hurt boy, neglected and unloved in the body and mind of a grown up man. Such people can be dangerous. Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human....

Narcissists are pathological liars. They lie even to themselves. Ironically, they are the first to believe their own lies. When normal people lie, they show signs of distress. Narcissists don’t. They can pass any polygraph test with flying colors. It is this conviction that fools people around them making them believe in their truthfulness and sincerity....

This election is like no other in the history of America. The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?

I hate to sound alarmist, but one must be a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are simply self serving and selfish. Obama evinces symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton, for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them trecherous....

America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as predident.

A Brighter (& 'Right'er) Future (Newt Gingrich)

For Whom Will Obama's Illegal Alien Aunti Vote?
Undecided? Ignoring the rule of law in order to enrich one's selfish self is apparently a genetic defect in the Obama family DNA. At least that appears to be the case given Obama's renegade disregard for the law when it comes to illegal aliens, voter fraud, domestic terrorism, and even his own eligibility to be U.S. president.

Socialism in disguise-Obama's Third-World radicalism. (De Silva)
As a naturalized American who grew up in the Third World and experienced firsthand the economic misery and impenetrable corruption under socialism, I know socialism when I see it - and I see socialism in Mr. Obama's plans. He has skillfully disguised his socialist agenda by an oratorical cloak of populism.

Why Jefferson Davis Opposed Roe v. Wade by H. W. Crocker III
Okay, he didn't, really, because he never had the chance -- but it's as certain as magnolia blooms in the spring that if Jefferson Davis were to rise again and take his place as the extremely senior senator from Mississippi, he would make the Senate ring with his denunciations of Roe v. Wade. In fact, he might even threaten secession over it.

Hawaiian officials admit withholding Obama's original Birth Certificate
Now it's pretty apparent why Barack Obama made his sudden, last minute visit to Honolulu. It wasn't Granny's health problems that interested him but Hawaii's Health Department. The strategy may have backfired.
