Well done video! It supports life and as believers that is what our Lord came to give. He is our standard of life not the compromise of men who are people pleasers or power mongers. Any administration that supports partial birth abortion or same sex marriage is not life giving. Two things here, I’m not of the Catholic church but I seek truth and the life it gives through the death burial and resurrection covenent of Jesus the Christ. When voting your conscience be sure it’s not seared against life giving morals. Dangerous! I’m not a blogger other wise I would give my name but I had to speak up.
Signed…Just an ex-homosexual saved and santified by the power of the truth through Jesus Christ who was not aborted by my mother. Go get em’ Catholics!! May the Lord raise you up during this time!
Isn’t there something in the Bible somewhere about Free Will? As in God himself said that the right to choose is one of the most basic characteristics of being human. So if it’s in God we trust, shouldn’t we follow his lead?
Nice video, but I have to agree with the comment above that the “vote your conscience” statement at the end was a cop out. Older Catholics remember a time when our church leaders were unafraid and unapologetic about speaking up for the teachings of the church. Whether we want to believe it or not there are some absolutes. Not everything is a shade of gray. Using our vote to try to end abortion and protect traditional family values is a moral obligation for serious Catholics. Period. Nonnegotiable.
Beautiful video. And to those who have rationalized the killing of innocent life because wars kill people, and who have justified doctors who suck the brains out of a living, near term half-delivered baby (partial birth abortions) because life is a value that extends beyond the day of ohe’s birth and to those who excuse the practice of allowing babies born alive after abortions to die in soiled linens on a shelf in a closet is somehow a moral equivalent to humanely ending the life of a convicted capital murderer…then a vote for the democratic ticket should suit you fine. You and your foolish leaders will bring about the destruction of this once-proud, God-fearing country.
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Regarding the comment “Interesting attempt to manipulate Catholics through fear. Surely we are smarter than this”.
Yup, that’s why the bible is filled with stories of smart people that don’t fear God and his guidance. They were brave, independent and defiant, all the way to to hell.
Catholics have been manuipulated through fear and guilt since the Spanish Inquisition and before. If you believe different you either were not raised Catholic, did not go to a Catholic school, or you were a lucky exception. Everyone deserves a right to their own beliefs and my belief is that there should be a separation of church and state that this video and Sunday mass choose to cross/ignore. “Vote your conscience”???? I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this statement. If you can’t see what this is (guilt) then may God help your brainwashed soul.

Regarding the comment above regarding the right to choose, I agree. But, the choice in procreation comes before becoming pregnant, not afterward.

I am not catholic, but wow! It was very moving and I will forward it and pray that it continues to move people of faith to vote for what is right!
