Voting Culture of Death

Is a no-no for Catholics.  Over here, Dave Armstrong picks apart some of the most common and lame reasons used to support pro-abortion candidates.  The most important point he makes is distinguishing between what the Church is currently working out in its teachings, such as the appropriate approach to war and rethinking the death penalty, and those issues that have never been acceptable for the faithful believer, such as abortion, adultery, or homosexuality.   A large amount of justification has been based on that little sleight of hand trying to elevate a particular opinion about something to the same level as intrinsic evil.   Along that line, there are other evils, such as  defrauding workers or oppressing the poor, but be careful that we don’t fall into the political habit of attributing the worst motives to our opponents. A person can disagree on the best way to alleviate poverty without wanting to starve babies.
