Catholics who support Obama have presented voters with websites that
cite compelling reasons why we as Catholics should vote for Obabma. Secular interpretations of the election issues present us with economic and social challenges that appear to take primacy over the life issue.
From the homepage of the website Roman Catholics for Obama/Biden '08, members of this site declare:
We are real, honest-to-goodness, practicing Catholics who embrace and call
attention to Catholic Social Teaching, which the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops describes as "wisdom about building a just society and
living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society."
Click the link Life and Dignity of the Human Person
a principle of Catholic Social Teaching, though, and you will find only two references to abortion, both of them videos.
Can we as Catholics vote for Obama in good conscience? Will a candidate who
promises the Planned Parenthood Action Fund that the first thing he'll
do is sign the Freedom of Choice Act--an act which would remove limits
to abortions--a candidate who can protect the most innocent of human
life?
