ST. LOUIS - Along with the usual campaign flyers filling mailboxes, Missouri Catholics are receiving letters directly from bishops telling them to vote against an embryonic stem cell research proposal at the polls next week.

The letters were not identical around the state, but urge many of Missouri’s estimated 850,000 Roman Catholics to oppose the measure.

St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke urged Catholics to vote no on Amendment 2 - which would protect all forms of embryonic stem cell research allowed by federal law - in a letter dated Oct. 27. “Catholics must oppose this measure because of its grave assault on human life and the integrity of human procreation,” Burke wrote.

Another quote:

“Catholic leaders said while Internal Revenue Service code prevents them from endorsing or opposing candidates under the church’s nonprofit status, issue advocacy is legal and has a long tradition.”
 
It’s about time the bishops stood up on their hind legs.
 
We received out letter yesterday with this sentence in bold:

Catholics must oppose this measure because of its grave assault on human life and the integrity of human procreation.

Do you live in Missouri? If so, what can you tell us about the voter registration fraud I heard about on TV today. Seems ACORN was on a registration drive but some of the people they “registered” were very strange indeed.
