Speaking of Pigs Flying...

....How's this?

Archbishop Chaput Calls on "Catholic" Obama Supporters to Ask Him to Oppose Abortion

Sure, stranger things have happened - but....

Denver, CO (LifeNews.com) -- In the latest development of the saga over a group of Catholics who are supporting Barack Obama for president despite his pro-abortion position, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput is weighing in. Chaput says the Catholics should following the church's pro-life teaching and get Obama to do so as well....
As the the title says, when pigs fly - which may not be that far off now that the UK has embarked on its freakish experiments.

... Chaput said he can't support candidates who are pro-abortion and he urged Catholics not to do so either.

"So can a Catholic in good conscience vote for a pro-choice candidate? The answer is: I can't, and I won't," he wrote. "But I do know some serious Catholics -- people whom I admire -- who may. I think their reasoning is mistaken."

Some Catholics who back Obama say they do so because he takes stands on other issues such as war, poverty or the death penalty that impact people's lives. But Chaput doesn't buy it, especially given the enormous loss of live and injuries to people like women and unborn children victimized by abortion....

Looks to be another interesting election season, especially with professed Catholics who reject the Church's perennial teachings.
