The nation's Catholic bishops on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted for a new document saying that the abortion issue should guide the voting decisions Catholics make. While the Catholic Church recognizes that a variety of political issues are important, the bishops said pro-life issues take precedence."The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life is always wrong and is not just one issue among many," the bishops said in the new document.
Titled, "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," the document does not tell Catholics which candidates to support but encourages Catholic voters to decide which candidates best promote Catholic views and side with the Church on pro-life topics.
In addition to abortion, the bishops said euthanasia, assisted suicide, and embryonic stem cell research should form the panoply of pro-life issues that guide Catholic voters.
It seems that graces are beginning to flow, and clear thinking may return. It could mean that Cardinal Bernardin's "seamless garment" lie is over, the notion that social justice and capital punishment are on par with abortion and could excuse voting for baby killers. Pray that the bishops will also end their practice of sex instruction in the schools and their tolerance of effeminates in the seminaries.
