Pro-Life cranks:GET OUT THE VOTE !

The Catholic TV station I see this morning -unlike most American

    Catholics - is obtuse on this matter of separation of Church and State.

    Sheeplike, all GOOD Catholics should vote for boldly anti-abortion

    candidates- THAT is the message. The Church big-wigs have no real passion

    for any other issue but LIFE IN THE WOMB ! And at a time when newspapers

    are telling unflattering stories about the Catholic hierarchy- the sexual

    abuse of innocent children.

                  In short because of the nature of the two party system here,

    they are telling GOOD Catholics to vote Republican. These same Republicans


    might be pro-war and pro-death penalty and great supporters of the NRA.

    And there is nothing Christ-like about their proposed legislation against

    the poor and the working class. LIFE IN THE WOMB monomania -for three decades

    now- has destroyed old fashioned Catholicism.

             What is so wrong about Catholicism for Catholics ? Let the

    pro-life fanatics all move to Vatican City - where they will get along

    with modern Italy as well as Israel get along with the Palestinians.

                 Why is abortion the only issue the " modern " Church

    feels passionately about ? Any two bit psychiatrist will tell you

    that obsession can be a sign of lunacy !

                I'll admit I myself am a very nominal " born Catholic ".

    I can't remember the last time I was inspired by a sermon in a Catholic

    Church. All pro-life unction and " give generously " !

                  Perhaps God himself sank into a bored deep sleep too !

             But I have never been involved in the abortion BUSINESS . So

    my CATHOLIC conscience never troubles me.

                  I'll vote for a Republican - like our Don Carcieri - if

    I like him. The pro-life fanatics are invariably nasty people !

                God save the Church !
