Social Justice issues??? Oh you mean such as the trampled 1st ammendment issue of Religious Freedom being the first American Right? Thinking involves not knowing. What is known is there has always been the 35-40% who strickly follow church teaching in obedience. They are those who choose to preserve the integrity of life. And often in humble silence. They will be out today to speak with there Vote for the first time.
Agreed, predictors are on both sides, someone will be way wrong. I hope Romney wins but it’s certainly up in the air to me. Those who are sure either way can tell us they predicted it right and have bragging rights. A lot of wishful thinking may be out there as well and we really can’t trust the polls either.
Great point, Federal Government is doing practically nothing in the areas hit by Sandy. Better for charities to do it and for the citizens to be generous with charity, which they are but not in the land of bureacracy.
Not just the 35%to 40% of obedient Catholics. Consider all the Evangelicals who sat out in 2008. They are expected to come out in droves for Romney in 2012. In Ohio alone, over 350,000 Evangelicals who didn’t vote last election are expected to cast their vote for Romney this time.Social Justice issues???

I tend to agree but only based on anecdotal observation of some of my Catholic friends’ views, and they are not really practicing Catholics.
Unlike our Forum posters for whom abortion is the alpha and omega issue, most other Catholics, and this is just my opinion, aren’t as obsessed with it as our people here.
If they are Republicans, I believe that their prime issue are the economy and job creation, and if Democrats, health care and “social justice” issues along with the economy and job creation.
Contraception? No different than other Americans. Abortion? More concern than other Americans, but not so much as to sway an election.
If I’m wrong, I haven’t yet seen anything to contradict my personal observation.
Everyone should be “obsessed” with the murder of 55 million babies in the womb. It is an intrinsic evil that has no equal.
Perhaps, but most Catholics are not so obsessed.
Hopefully, the bishops and presbyters will continue to inform them.
Yes, one hopes.Hopefully, the bishops and presbyters will continue to inform them.
The courts can straighten out whether any religious freedom issues have been threatened. So far, the arguments are not convincing.Social Justice issues???

Sorry, the authority is the Constitution NOT the Courts. Not being an American, you can not understand this.
And who is it who interprets the Constitution? Why, it’s the Courts! As an American, you should know that.
