What does the Catholic Church think about those who vote?

We Answered:

Jill gave a good answer.

However,

The excommunication for abortion is pretty specific
http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/abort…

and also very sensible, if you look at the *other* things for which people can be excommunicated automatically
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latae_sente…

Generally speaking, an individual's vote does not enable any particular abortion, so a Roman Catholic voting for a pro-abortion candidate is normally not grounds for excommunication. Definitely voting in support of gay marriage is not grounds for excommunication. However, I would guess that voting qualifies as grounds for excommunication in two situations
a) in a referendum, when the law under consideration is more permissive of abortion. In such a situation, one's vote might directly enable an abortion that otherwise would not be permitted.
b) for a Roman Catholic politician (member of congress or governor or President), under the same circumstances (i.e. voting to legalize abortion or signing a bill which does so)

Charles Said:

Will the people who vote for Hillary wear disguises so they cannot be identified?

We Answered:

Call me an optimist, but I don't see the U.S. being stupid enough to elect her. God help us if I'm mistaken.

Norman Said:

Bush Blamers ... DEMOCRATS CONTROL the CONGRESS .. AND .. THE SENATE ...

Bush did NOTHING without them ... BLAME THEM !!!!


I am still waiting for the BLAMERS to explain this ...

President Bush Job Approval
RCP Average
Approve 31.0%
Disapprove 65.5%
Spread -34.5%

Congressional Job Approval (DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED) **********
RCP Average
Approve 22.0%
DISAPPROVE 70.0% **********
Spread -48.0%
.

Democrats have to recognize that since the 73rd Congress in 1933
... for a MAJORITY of THE LAST 65 YEARS
... Democratic Houses of Representatives and Democratic Senates have CONTROLLED
... the nation and the President.

A TOTAL of 38 Sessions
... with Democrats in CONTROL
... for 28 of those!

WE need to inform/TELL our political representatives that WE NEED TO PASS a Constitutional Amendment for the LINE ITEM VETO.

This will keep the SPECIAL INTEREST GARBAGE from being attached to valuable legislation.

If Congress wants to give the president that power, they will have to pass a constitutional amendment, Supreme Justice John Paul Stevens said. "If there is to be a new procedure in which the president will play a different role in determining the text of what may become a law, such change must come not by legislation but through the amendment procedures set forth in Article V of the Constitution," Stevens said, on June 25th, 1998.

IF your special interest is SO valuable, why do you have to HIDE it in valuable legislation?

So, with them REFUSING to PASS the Line Item Veto, in reality, the House and Senate have REALLY been controlling the country!!

AND, with the CURRENT Senate and Congress having the WORST approval rating in HISTORY, hopefully we will see a LOT of changes after the general elections.
A recent Reuters poll is out and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pulled an upset: They have managed to make George Walker Bush twice as popular as CONGRESS.

RECENTLY - - JUST 8% of Likely Voters now say the DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED Congress is doing a good or excellent job.

Democrats generally believe in heavy fines for honest work, while rewarding sloth and indulgence.

Do YOU think that people should be able to do absolutely nothing productive and get government hand-outs for sloth and indulgence - healthcare, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STDs, etc. ??

Do YOU want to have YOUR MONEY TAKEN from YOU and YOUR FAMILY to FINANCE these people ???

Renee Said:

How do you feel about Felons who can vote?

We Answered:

I understand how many don't want felons to vote while in prison, though I'm not even 100% on that, they are still citizens after all.

After they've served their time there should be nothing stopping them from voting. Don't care who they want to vote for.
