Freemasonry was condemned for promoting relativism, and Catholics have been warned not to join since it’s opposed to Catholicism. So shouldn’t the DNC be treated the same way since as an organization it aggressively promotes relativism and forces people to choose between it and the Church?

The RNC doesn’t? :confused:

It’s not the official ideology of the DNC either.

The DNC is officially “Pro-Choice” which is relativism. Here’s what they say about it in their own words from the source you provided:

“We oppose the current [Bush] Administration’s consistent attempts to undermine a woman’s ability to make her own life choices and obtain reproductive health care, including birth control. We will end health insurance discrimination against contraception”

“reproductive health care” is a euphemism for abortions.

In other words, what they are saying is that they oppose Republicans for their consistently Pro-Life efforts and that the DNC will never be Pro-Life.

We will end health insurance discrimination against contraception and provide compassionate care to rape victims. We will never put ideology above women’s health.”

“reproductive health care” is a euphemism for abortions.

And it’s the RNC’s “official position” that all innocent life is sacred, just that certain innocent life in other countries is less sacred than others.

As I said, the Democrats do not have the market cornered on moral relativism.

Read the statement, the DNC officially condemns the RNC for being Pro-Life.

Then they’re officially dumb for not recognizing the inherent hypocrisy of the RNC’s own platform. They value life, as long as its American, and unborn. If it’s not both, then all bets are off. They also seem preoccupied with preserving life, but not necessarily preserving health. Just another example.

All right, I’m just going to come out and say this. First of all, I thought the moderators have been telling us to stop talking about this stuff. Second of all, while I certainly am pro-life and am opposed to the HHS contraception mandate, I would very much appreciate it if certain individuals would quit coming here and elsewhere for the purpose of turning the Catholic Church into a department of the Republican Party.

Well, that’s about it.

Oh, I’d say that statement needs some serious qualifers. Generally, the most consistent pro-life efforts come from those who, on the whole, lean right. Those who lean right are more likely to be Republican. So, those who are most consistent in their pro-life efforts tend to be Republicans. However, I would be very reluctant to characterize the Republican Party as a political institution as being consistently pro-life.

I didn’t say that people have to be Republican. But if someone wants to be in the RNC there’s not a problem with that since the RNC doesn’t have an official standing policy against Catholic teaching the way the DNC does. Until the DNC abandons their official stand against Catholic teachings being a member of the DNC is not compatible with being a Catholic.

Okay, I asked you nicely.
 
Truly both parties have issues with their morality, and a good Catholic shouldn’t lean more towards one or the other based solely on his or her beliefs. Republicans are really just using conservative values to gain conservative support for the moment. Once upon a time, it was very Catholic to be a Democrat. And soon enough the “moral” party will switch again. If you want a good, moral party, start a party called “The Catholic Party.”😉

We are talking about official stated policy. The RNC has no official stated policy that contradicts Catholic teaching, but the DNC does.

You raise a good questions. We have WE CATHOLICS been so tolerant of this ongoing reign of mass murder in the form of abortion.

WE CATHOLICS, in the aggregate (not you, not some others, but most of us) have, in reality, been very content to let about 1 million of our totally innocent fellow human beings be murdered in the USA every year. We play bingo at our parishes, play computer games, eat out at Applebees, and go about our normal lives as if nothing were wrong at all. I am sicked by abortion, but I am as much sickened by how WE CATHOLICS are so content, so indifferent to all this VAST EVIL.

How could any Catholic vote for a party that is dedicated to protecting the ongoing mass murder? Yet, they do.

There should be TWO parties (at least) in the USA. There are differences in the interests and needs between the more affluent and the less affluent. But both political parties should be fully Pro-Life. If Catholics lived as Catholics, it would be impossible for any “pro-choice” (pro-abortion rights) political party to be a major party in the USA.

So, in sum, we Catholics have the power to shop the abortion mass murder evil catastrophe. But instead, we play bingo.
 
It’s not reasonable to expect that every individual member of a political party be Pro-Life. The problem is the fact that the DNC’s official stated policy contradicts Catholic faith and morals.
 
Seriously, can a moderator close this? The political portion of the forum was closed. This is supposed to be a part of the board for religious and moral questions, not political statements. This isn’t a GOP forum.
