Election 2012
Father Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
November 2, 2012 -- God is calling you
God is calling you to be a Prophet for Life this election!
God placed you here at this moment for a reason. And I believe He did so because He wants YOU to tell all those you know that they have a grave moral obligation, not merely to vote ...
... but to VOTE PRO-LIFE.
After all, if a politician can't respect the life of a little baby, how can we expect him to respect ours?

Bishop Peter Libasci -- Bishop of Manchester, New Hampshire
Letter of October 31, 2012
And if in our Nation and our State, the freedom of religion is to be safeguarded as a guaranteed right, then let ears that listen be open to the words of our Creed: "I believe in One God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth." This belief of ours professes that we are citizens of Heaven as well as earth.

October 24, 2012 -- An Important Moment
"A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program that contradicts fundamental contents of faith and morals." Intrinsically evil actions are those which have an evil object. In other words, an act is evil by its very nature and to choose an action of this type puts one in grave moral danger.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki -- Springfield, Illinois diocese
October 25, 2012 -- Politics and moral complexity: God's law comes first
"It might also help for me to explain more fully the moral reasoning behind my conclusion that 'a vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy.'"

Archbishop Chaput -- St. Peter's Basilica Rome Oct 25, 2012
Be Catholic before you are Democrat or Republican
"We do believe in the separation of church and state, but we don't believe in the separation of faith from our political life," he said.
"It's very important for Catholics to make distinctions when voting that they never support intrinsic evils like abortion, which is evil in all circumstances. That's a lot different from different economic policies" that people can reasonably disagree on, the archbishop explained.

Defending Our First Freedom
October 25, 2012
We are slowly losing our sense of religious liberty in America.
There is much evidence to suggest that our society no longer values the public role of religion or recognizes the importance of religious freedom as a basic right.

Public witness and Catholic citizenship
Weekly column from Archbishop Chaput, on October 18th, 2012
Public witness on issues of public concern is natural for Catholics because we have a commitment to the common good and to the dignity of each human person. Those two pillars - the common good and the dignity of every human person - come right out of Scripture. They underpin all of Catholic social thought.

Vote as faith-filled, faithful citizens
October 3, 2012
"the Church -clergy and laity- while agreeing to disagree on other matters of prudential judgment cannot but oppose the evils of abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning and so called same sex "marriage." In these areas, there can be no other legitimate Catholic position."

Democrat Party and Intrinsic Evil
September 27, 2012
There are many positive and beneficial planks in the Democratic Party Platform, but I am pointing out those that explicitly endorse intrinsic evils......People of faith object to these platform positions that promote serious sins.

Ryan, Biden, and the Bishops
September 26, 2012
The record is clear: There is absolutely no comparison between the Catholic standing of Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden. Biden's public defiance of Catholic teachings has gotten him into hot water with the bishops. Ryan, on the other hand, has never been punished by the bishops, and has indeed won the plaudits of many.

I Certainly Can't Vote For Someone Who Is Pro-Choice!
September 17, 2012 -- LifeSiteNews.com
"Jesus tells us very clearly that if we don't help the poor, we're going to go to hell," he insisted. "But Jesus didn't say the government has to take care of them, or that we have to pay taxes to take care of them. Those are prudential judgments." more
Archbishop William E. Lori -- Archdiocese of Baltimore
Catholics shouldn't vote for candidate who supports intrinsic evil.
Aug 9, 2012
For Catholics taking to the polls in November, the prelate said, "The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances?"
