10161DYcWbI Bishop Vasa - Pro-Abortion Candidates are Disqualified From Consideration For Political Office By Faithful Catholics / The Catholic Vote Video

Bishop Vasa: Abortion-On-Demand Candidates are "Disqualified"

The
question of whether Catholics may remain in good standing with the
Church while voting for abortion-on-demand politicians like Barack
Obama has been raised.

Bishop Robert Vasa has said that an
abortion-on-demand stance disqualifies candidates from consideration by
faithful Catholics.

With regards to the notion of
proportionate reasons, Bishop Vasa states, "The conditions under which
an individual may be able to vote for a pro-abortion candidate would
apply only if all the candidates are equally pro-abortion."

He
also stated, "Abortion needs to be in our country a defining issue and
we ought not be afraid to make it a defining issue because when we do
that we will have an end of abortion in this country."

382ax57FqThe Pharisee and the PublicanThe Irish writer Iris Murdoch said that human beings are naturally self-absorbed and that what we need, consequently, are spiritual exercises that break us out of the narrow confines of our egos. Learning a foreign language can be such an exercise, as can a confrontation with real beauty. Authentic prayer--the kind exemplified in the humble petition of the Publican--also serves this purpose.word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcastHomiliesfatherbarron700Father Robert Barron5http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2146_thumb.jpg2007-11-29 15:43:07.885622
4372eq8fEPeter Maurin and Matthew 25Peter Maurin, the co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, took Jesus' words in our Gospel for today with consummate seriousness. He felt that the corporal and spiritual works of mercy constituted a sort of socio-economic program. Following the exhortation of Jesus, Maurin wanted to create a society in which "it is easier for men to be good." His example is still a challenging and compelling one today.word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcastHomiliesfatherbarron1230Father Robert Barron5http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2234_thumb.jpg2007-11-29 15:43:52.524924
