We can commit sin in the voting booth. There is a hierarchy of laws: the highest law is divine law, the second is natural law and last there is human law. Everything that we say or do either affirms or denies divine law. We are either getting closer to God, or farther away from Him. You may not sing God’s praises in the choir and then vote for someone who supports “abortion rights.”
You commit a sin if you knowingly and willfully vote for a candidate who promises to protect “abortion rights.” This is especially true for Catholics who have 2,000 years of Church teaching and tradition to enlighten them. A voter who votes for a candidate who supports abortion has intentionally and deliberately helped someone who promotes a violent and destructive activity. That vote is similar in seriousness to participating in a pro-abortion rally, or writing an editorial that supports abortion.
These are the moral implications of voting. I once belonged to the Democrat Party, then I joined the Republican Party, and I now belong to the Constitution Party. However, my moral obligation is to keep candidates who support “abortion rights” from public office. The Democrat party supports “abortions rights.” Therefore, I often vote for Republicans who oppose abortion.
Unfortunately, both Mary Landrieu and Joe Biden call themselves “Catholic.” They are not Catholic, they are secularists. You cannot be Catholic and support abortion. Additionally, the local bishops have denied Mary Landrieu and Joe Biden Holy Communion. A Catholic is free to accept all of the nonessential beliefs that he wishes. However, there is only one law that he must obey. A Catholic must accept the eternal truths of Jesus Christ.
I voted against my state’s Senator because she supported “abortion rights.” This “Catholic” senator sinned by publicly supporting abortion “rights,” and we sin if we vote for these “Catholic” (secularist) politicians!
