Bishops of Dallas and Fort Worth Strong Statement On Elections

Another tough statement on the upcoming elections coming from the U.S. Bishops. In a joint statement on the Bishops said

that a "vote for a candidate who supports the intrinsic evil of abortion or 'abortion rights' when there is a morally acceptable alternative would be to cooperate in the evil -- and, therefore, [is] morally impermissible."

and

"[I]ssues of prudential judgment are not morally equivalent to issues involving intrinsic evils. No matter how right a given candidate is on any of these issues, it does not outweigh a candidate's unacceptable position in favor of an intrinsic evil such as abortion or the protection of 'abortion rights.'"
