You mean the legal and just war in Iraq that removed a dictator whose regime had and was continuing to kill hundreds of thousands?

Or, are you referring to some other war in your imagination?

Susan, its very disturbing that YOU think votes were purchased by anyone other than the repubs. The repubs used code words to indicate to their base that minorities are asking for handouts, NOT TRUE. Second, as a catholic, i have FREE will to vote and determine who I will vote for and why. The corrupt and dishonest few are the repubs that want to dismantle the unions, change social security, deny health care to those that cannot afford it.
I feel for you. The thought of having a mormon, whose grandfather had how many wives(so much for traditional marriage) and that guy from up north that wants to get rid of every program that helps the common man, is a nightmare for most of us.
If from what you have written, you can still call yourself a catholic, guess what, I am more than happy to call myself one.
thanks

Paul, I think you probably need to take it back ever further to the basics. Before the written old testament, how did folks get married. Was there marriage? Who married the couples? The answer is of course, a man visited his neighbor, offered a cow, a few chickens and coins and received his neighbors daughter in return. They later produced children and the saga continued. Marriage as an institution appears later even after the old testament is complied.
So your opinion that marriage has existed since the beginning of time is rather nonsense.
To say that the Church is protected by the Holy Spirit from error, lets put it this way,
take a look at the church during the middle ages. Most popes were either married, had mistresses and had children. In fact two popes were sons of earlier popes. Also factual, the real reason for the rule changes against married priests was upon death, property would be divided between his offspring, rather than revert to the holy see.
Finally, I resent the label of Democrats as the party of death. The repubs started two wars and account for many deaths to our own as well of others. They have no regard to the poor, other than telling them that are responsible for being poor. The regard blacks and latinos as people demanding a government handout, although countless figures indicated that the majority of people on the dole are white. Instead of courting these minorities, they push them further away by their policies.
Yes, i am catholic, I am a Democrat and finally I am pro-choice. Oh yes, I am also a black american, a veteran and a father. I choose all of the above and will continue to teach my children the information to make up their own minds on politics and religion.

@ This Catholic.. Why do liberals always react in such a malicious tone “Perhaps you should leave the Catholic church” You are suggesting he should leave the church because he supports the sanctity of Life. And to suggest he would be happier with the Westboro clan. Your comments are very perverse and quite callous. Your last statement was the best thing you said “Peace be with you” Now if you could only match your heart to the words you would walk towards the light.

And you think that voting for the third party actually stood a chance of electing someone who could actually lead our nation? You vote your heart in the primaries…you vote for the lesser of two evils in the general election.

It is very disturbing the numbers of ‘Catholics’ whose votes were purchased by an administration who believes in promoting infanticide, and redistribution of resources not only to the ‘havenots’ or cannots, but also to the ‘will nots’, and seeks to divert funds to a corrupt and dishonest few. There is something very wrong and hypocritical about someone calling themselves a Catholic and voting this president another term. He’ll never be my president. Not ever.
