Sodomy is an intrinsic evil. That is why the Catholic Church has opposed laws legalizing sodomy or giving homosexuals job protections. Instrinsic evils can like abortion, sodomy, euthanasia can never be legally permitted.

I’d say that I’ve always looked at Romney in the light of a sun. While the liberal surprise over his debate performance revealed that they’ve been looking at shadows on a cave wall.

You writing as if Romney has not clearly pledged multiple pro-life actions as part of his platform means that you are either looking at the shadows or making shadow puppets to try and mislead people here.

Tom,
I just don’t see anything wrong with being “partisan” if by partisan one believes one is choosing the side of truth. I get your argument that the Democratic Party stands for so many things that we, Catholics, reject, that we appear partisan, but there is no denial that we favor Mit Romney over Obama but we don’t do so merely because of politics, but because the Democrats have taken positions that are anti-thetical to Catholicism. If tomorrow the Republican Party were to take those same positions, I would expect CV not to support the Republicans either.
“To be sure, not all Republicans are perfect on these issues, and blind partisanship is dangerous.” I fully agree and believe that CV is not “blindly” partisan but at this point the Dems’ positions have forced us to become pretty Republican and Catholic in outlook, or am I wrong?

Whoa… LOL! I was talking about the Republican Party in response to Jordan’s original post. I was commenting on the blind partisan nature of this blog. Who said anything about Bishop Sheen? Talk about derailing a discussion.

The fact is the Democrat party has moved further and further left and has in the process abandoned virtually any connection to a prudential approach to Catholic social teaching. I personally would be a democrat if they didn’t embrace such extreme and alarming positions on many issues. I come across as very partisan, too, but it is only because the Democrats are soooooo faaaaaarrrrrrr aaaaaaawwwwwaaaayyyyy that it looks like I’m a right-winger in comparison. Sorry, on the bioethical issues alone, the Democratic Party platform is bankrupt from a Catholic point of view — and that does NOT necessarily mean I think the Republican platform is wonderful. But from way out in left field, it may look that way.

Jordon – Tom is getting upset when people use truth. He is committed only to hating Obama and his unnatural love for Romney. He has placed his faith in the Mitt-ster, and thinks that even the Church can be manipulated into a GOP camp. He really hates it when the stupidity of his arguments are exposed.
