I don’t know what to tell you. I pray your right because your saying since deep stuff on this issue.most certainly am. His homily is overblown and prone to overwrought hyperbole
open borders mean the free movement of people between different jurisdictions with limited or no restrictions on movement.Does this equate to “open borders”?
it is called personal responsibility. those desiring to come should follow our immigration policy.we should not shoot people for trying to cross, allow them to die in the desert, or languish in detention for months or years when caught attempting to do so
many believe the guide allows them to ignore a candidate’s position on abortion because it is just a single issue. however the bishops state the opposite. how do the bishops understand this item?“A candidate’s position on a single issue is not sufficient to guarantee a voter’s support. Yet a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving support.” (42)
your single issue does not give you the right to ignore the 5 non-negotiables, but candidates should be disqualified if they are against a single non-negotiable.This brief document is a summary of the United States bishops’ reflection Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.
It complements the teaching of bishops in dioceses and states.

The Right to Life and the Dignity of the Human Person
Human life is sacred. Direct attacks on innocent human beings are never morally acceptable. Within our society, life is under direct attack from abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, and destruction of human embryos for research. These intrinsic evils must always be opposed. This teaching also compels us as Catholics to oppose genocide, torture, unjust war, and the use of the death penalty, as well as to pursue peace and help overcome poverty, racism, and other conditions that demean human life
Living in an area of the country where the borders do seem quite porous, I can certainly vouch for the disregard of breaking the laws entering.We never hear anything about the responsibility of illegal immigrants to abide by the laws that make them illegal in the first place.
why aren’t the refugees from central and south america stopping in mexico? the mexicans aren’t at war. there is safety in mexico.I have more compassion for those who are willing to risk such severe consequences to escape a worse situation. After all, Jesus’ family fled Bethlehem to avoid the slaughter. These are real conditions for some people.
The proper way to look at it, ProVobis, is their individual platform. Again, I don’t mean to be insulting, but this isn’t rocket science.Depends on how you look at it.
Well, maybe someday one of them will be president.I voted for Rubio but could have easily voted for Cruz or Kasich if it meant keeping Trump out. But the primaries aren’t designed that way.
i watched one of the video’s you posted. i agree with him.Just want to ask if you seen that video i sent yesterday?
Do you think that priest was wrong?
Me personally in thought it was the greatest thing ever heard.
many read the first part of paragraph 42, but ignore the rest of it. some hang their hat on the “MAY” and refuse to read the follow up explanations. (see prior post)These intrinsic evils must always be opposed.
the voter’s single issue isn’t important, but a single issue of a candidate can disqualify him. is.Yet a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving support
I think it is both. I am not sure why families are risking sending their minor children into death, rather than apply for a legal entry. Maybe they know it is not possible or likely to happen.let’s face it, the reason isn’t safety. it is for economic reasons
You don’t get it. There isn’t a right or wrong answer other than don’t vote for pro-abortion candidates because they are pro-abortion. This is applying Church teaching to an everyday issue, using one’s well-formed conscience. People could disagree on the result you arrive at, but that doesn’t mean you are wrong.Ok I’ll be fair, i know a Priest that works on a military base and I’ll fwd him that video and of your right then I’ll applaud you but if your wrong then you must change your way of thinking.
Is that fair?
“MAY” is the operable word here. It MAY disqualify a candidate. It doesn’t say “SHALL”. That is an important distinction. The Bishops, right here, had a chance to say that support for legal abortion SHALL disqualify a candidate, and they did not.“A candidate’s position on a single issue is not sufficient to guarantee a voter’s support. Yet a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving support.” (42)
many believe the guide allows them to ignore a candidate’s position on abortion because it is just a single issue. however the bishops state the opposite. how do the bishops understand this item?
That’s not what the Bishops say at all.an example:
my single issue is tax reform. the only candidate pushing tax reform also supports legal abortion. my single issue doesn’t trump (haha) his abortion policy. i can’t vote for him/her.
I’m in the Arlington, VA Diocese, but I don’t know what my Bishop says, because I read the USCCB guidance. What more do you need?who is your bishop and what is his view on the issue?
Hopefully in 2020.Well, maybe someday one of them will be president.
