Cardinal OF Boston Says Lack Of Pro-Life Democrats A Scandal

Tip of the Hat to The Anchoress who has the link to the good Cardianal's comments. He is really laying the wood to the Democrat party here onthe pro-life issue. Go to the Boston Globe piece here to see it.

This all is quite significant because the Bishop's have just released a important doucument on Catholics and Voting!!! In the beforementioned piece Cardinal O'Malley said as to this:
In the past, there was always the fear that we were considering sort of the smorgasbord of issues, but without any prioritizing, or giving the impression that all issues are of equal value, and I think the emphasis on trying to help people form conscience is very, very important," he said. "The church is not trying to impose Catholic doctrine on the world, but we are trying to invite our people to take seriously their obligation to vote in a way that respects the moral law, the natural law, and takes into account the common good, care for the poor, and particularly the gospel of life, which is always the center of Catholic social teaching."

The Globe reports further:
The document declares that "as Catholics we are not single-issue voters," but says, "a candidate's position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving support."

By the way this Document can be downloaded in PDF form at this Vox Nova link. I am sure a lively discussion will be taking place in that comment section over this.

Again this is another document I need to digest. I will post on this later after I have read it it full.
