I don’t think anyone is worried the Church will disappear.It has had to underground at various times in history, but has always survived.
Nice. I ask it in every related thread, so apologies for the redundancy. But I am hoping someone will tell me. Maybe I am missing something.This is the 16trillion dollar question…
I think its because Satan is still around…and He is blocking the truth…he is the MASTER of DECEPTION!
I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU WOULD ASK ME ABOUT CHASTE HOMOSEXUALS WHEN I MENTIONED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE!!
So? Does your vote for him count less than those who vote for him because of his stance on Homosexual Marriage and Abortion?
Yep. I know people will yell “Godwin’s Law,” but, to me, it would be like saying “I didn’t support Hitler’s killing of the Jews (and others). I was supporting him for all the good things he did to build Germany up.”
The answer is simple-it is an attempt to change the subject. All Catholics(actually all people of faith) should take to heart the Words of Archbishop ChaputI WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU WOULD ASK ME ABOUT CHASTE HOMOSEXUALS WHEN I MENTIONED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE!!
See? I can yell, too.
Is Pat Paulsen running this year?
People have been rationalizing supporting evil long before the 1940s.Yep. I know people will yell “Godwin’s Law,” but, to me, it would be like saying “I didn’t support Hitler’s killing of the Jews (and others). I was supporting him for all the good things he did to build Germany up.”
The issue with Goode is… it’s too late, unless you want your vote to be a protest vote, symbolic vote, encourage a third party vote… because obviously he is not going to win and therefore you are taking away a vote for Romney, assuming that would be your next best alternative… which equates (mathematically, not your intent) as a vote for Obama…
Cardinal Burke
Again,
That’s exactly what Burke says to do.
I see your point, Carlan. We need to do all the things you mention above, and more of it! Thanks for pointing that out. Now allow me to point out this: Did it ever occur to you that maybe God wants us to exercise our rights in this country we live in to vote out those politicians who want to perpetuate the slaughter of the unborn and keep it legal and accessible? Its not one or the other, Carlan - prayer OR political action. Its both. Think about it - if we as Catholics can’t even figure out the moral necessity of defeating a candidate who supports partial birth abortion, how can we sincerely pray to God to end abortion? It doesn’t make sense to me - perhaps you could explain.
I forgot, Carlan: you didn’t answer my question at all. I’ll try again- you say, “re-elect Obama for the next 4 years and Hillary for the next 12” which, being that they are pro-abortion and would give us a solidly pro-abortion, pro-Roe V Wade court dominance, would ensure that the ***1.3 million abortions per year ***continue. That’s 15 million abortions, Carlan. Once again - how do you justifiy that?
Of course it doesn’t make sense to you Ishii. Your conscience is telling you something different than another’s conscience in regard to who to cast a vote for. It really isn’t that hard to understand. Everyone just pray on it and follow your consciences and be at peace.
No, Cmatt - explain how one can justify voting for candidates who will keep the abortion mills running - and ensure the legal slaughter of 15 million. Explain it to me.Of course it doesn’t make sense to you Ishii. Your conscience is telling you something different than another’s conscience in regard to who to cast a vote for. it really isn’t that hard to understand. Everyone just pray on it and follow your consciences and be at peace.
Ishii, it’s already been explained by Obama voters why they are voting for Obama. That was the topic of the thread. To explain why you are voting for who you are. People of faith have done so on both sides. I know you don’t agree with the Obama voters justification and reasons and that’s fine. They obviously don’t agree with the way you see it. That’s just part of the American electoral process. Not everyone agrees. We have an election and see where the chips fall. Then we have another the next cycle.
