President Bush: the ONLY choice for Catholics

Kerry and the Catholic Vote

by Timothy Whiteman

Quite a bit has been made lately about Catholics and John Kerry's run for the presidency. As Catholics, can we vote for Kerry? Sure... but the REAL question here is this; are there any repercussions for voting for Kerry? There sure are. Namely, the state of our Immortal Souls. Here's why; Senator Kerry has voted time and time again in favor of butchering unborn children. And don't give me any of that garbage about how abortion is "Constitutional". Holding another human being as a slave was deemed Constitutional. Sending Americans of Japanese blood to Internment Camps without trial was deemed Constitutional.

But I digress, just why is it that Catholics cannot vote for Kerry. Simple. Kerry favors murdering innocent children. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is very clear on the matter."Formal Cooperation", and yes... that includes politicians voting for abortion, and we voters placing into office those that would murder the innocents. If we vote for anyone who would formally cooperates in abortion, WE have just formally cooperated as well, and we have also just excommunicated ourselves.

This is what the official teaching of the Catholic Church is: 2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," [CIC, can. 1398] "by the very commission of the offense," [CIC, can. 1314] and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. [Cf. CIC, cann. 1323-1324] The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. [1463]

Now let's take a look at what Mr. Kerry stated recently:

Amid a three-day bus tour in which he highlighted his values and cast himself as an acceptable alternative for conservative voters, John F. Kerry was quoted yesterday as saying he believes life begins at conception, but continues to favor abortion rights. Hold on, cowboy... Kerry states that he believes that life begins at conception, but he still favors abortion? So correct me if I'm wrong, but he admits that a human life exists in the womb, and he is all in favor of butchering that human life? Of course he does. That is the only answer we can arrive at. We can't have it both ways. Kerry is a butcher of the same degree as Hitler, Stalin or Mao. Lastly, we all know that there are many so-called "bishops" (heretics is a better word) who have tap danced around the subject and have launched into a rather impressive round of verbal gymnastics concerning how voting for a murderer is somehow correct... all I have to ask of you is this; have we abandoned all common sense? Can we no longer see the obvious?

Better yet, look on it this way... when we all stand before The Lord for our final judgment, when He asks us what we have done to PROTECT the most innocent and helpless of His children, do any of us think we can wiggle out of telling Him that we were RIGHT for putting a butcher in power? Yeah... right.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

This website was created to honor the fallen heroes of the War on Terror. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, many soldiers, from both the American and Allied forces, fought courageously and honorably on the field of battle. Many did not make it home. Though the grief that follows is tremendous, family, friends, and citizens are comforted by the fact that these soldiers did not die in vain. The men and women who died will not be forgotten. May they rest in peace.
