  • Will abortion ever be legal?

    Granted that a baby isn't really alive until its born; if you don't have the abortion,

    it will be born alive and grow up to be like you, right?

    Should the man and woman who are responsible for the restricted birth or abortion of a child be put in jail?

    How many years?

  • Can we as a nation now relate to the Innocent killing of children in Connecticut?

    But are unable to stop the massacre of innocent babies in abortion?

    Must we keep up the killings of innocent children in the class-room

    and in the woman about to give birth?

    The children are our heritage our life blood, must we lose it for the freedom of choice and having your rights to kill?

  • The separation of church and state is dividing our country?

    We Americans, alive tax payers, have the constitution and the bill of rights

    and we Christians have the bible and the commandments;

    why do we impose our faith on our government and

    why do we expect our government to solve our moral responsibilities

    We tried prohibition and it didn't work,

    why do they insist on the government controlling birth control

    Why can't we all get along?

  • Did Jesus say ''render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's''?

    Or did He say '' Render not to Cesar the things that are Cesar's''

    One of the Catholic Cardinals said this recently and I was wondering

    if they are becoming like the Jehovah Witness?

    Might help attendance.

  • How can you be a Democrat Catholic in America?

    Are Democrat Catholics American or Roman/Vatican !

    To be a Catholic means accepting the Catholic Thing, so to speak.

    What is that Thing? No one has put it better than Hilaire Belloc:

    The essential in our judgment [we of the Faith] is that there stands on earth an Individual

    to be recognized as we recognize human individuals –

    by the voice, the gesture, the expression.

    The chain of reason is complete. Is there a God? Yes. Is He personal? Yes.

    Has He revealed Himself to men? Yes. Has He done so through a corporation

    – a thing not a theory?

    Has He created an organism by which He may continue to be known to mankind

    for the fulfillment of the great drama of the Incarnation.

    Yes. Where shall that organism be found?

    There is only one body on earth which makes such a claim:

    it is the Catholic Roman Apostolic Church.

    That claim we of the Faith accept.

    The consequences of that acceptation are innumerable, satisfactory and complete.

    We are at home. No one else of the human race is at home.

    This is of far greater moment than the division between Catholic liberals and conservatives.

    The liberal – say Dorothy Day – who gets this one point,

    is Catholic to the core no matter how far left her politics and economics.

    The conservative – even the reactionary like Evelyn Waugh

    – if he sees this truth, has a heart,

    whether anyone else can detect it or not.

    The great danger, as C. S. Lewis’s tempter Screwtape clearly sees,

    is to regard the Faith as real belief plus something else.

    Then the devil works little by little to make the something

    else the greater reality to us until it swallows up everything and becomes our whole life.

    All this may seem airy abstraction and a mere distraction when so much

    is at stake this Fall in the electoral campaign

    . A few thousand votes one way or another may consign millions more

    unborn children to destruction – or rescue them;

    which party controls our government may determine whether the Catholic Church

    is free to be Catholic in this country or will be forced into a ghetto;

    which economic policies are in place over the next four years

    can put tens of millions back to work, or into the streets, as in Greece,

    protesting unavoidable austerity measures.

    A culture of life is inextricably connected to the Catholic Principle,

    because God is the Lord of Life.

    All real Catholics know that is not merely an “issue” among a list of others in public debate.

    It puts a question to us about whether we are Catholic.

    Give me the right to life and religious liberty.

    And I’ll be happy to wrestle over the rest with anyone, Catholic or not.

    But if Catholics themselves lose a grip on the Catholic Principle,

    or allow others to take it away from them,

    it won’t take long before we have a different Church.

    And we’ll have a different America as well.

  • Why are the polls showing President Obama ahead of Governor Romney?

    If they go to Holy Mass on Sundays, they will be advised

    to vote for candidates who support the Churches teaching

    against birth-control and abortion.

    President Obama’s support among Catholic voters has surged since June,

    according to a new poll, despite a summer that included the Catholic bishops’

    religious freedom campaign and the naming of Rep. Paul Ryan, a Catholic,

    as the GOP’s vice-presidential candidate.

    On June 17, Mr. Obama held a slight edge over Mitt Romney

    among Catholics (49-47 percent), according to the Pew Research Center.

    Since then, Mr.Obama has surged ahead, and now leads 54-39 percent,

    according to a Pew poll conducted on Sept. 16.

    Don't these Catholics care, or don't they go to Holy Mass every Sunday for the word.

  • In your heart, do you really believe that President Romney will change any of the Obama Care health plan?

    Governor Romney worked hard to get a universal health care insurance for Massachusetts which is very close to the Obama plan. Governor Romney's plan for the school redevelopment is acceptable to most Democrats. Is Romney really a Democrat?

  • Is Governor Romney running for the Tea Party of the Republicans?

    All of this confusion seems to be directed to the Republicans from the Tea Party issues.

    Does Romney fit into the Tea Party platform and not the Republican platform?

    The Tea Party guys I know like Romney but not some Republicans, how come?

  • I am curious, how many of you believe that Obama Care will be overturned even if the Senate and the House goes?

    The Supreme Court has approved of the Affordable Health Care plan, its being implemented as I write this, do you really believe that Romney and a Republican Senate and House can repeal the plan, I don't think that they can!

  • Should abortion be criminalized?

    For you first abortion should your mate and you both

    serve 5 years in jail in punishment for the abortion?

    For your second abortion should you both serve 10 years in jail for the abortion?

    And for the 3 or more abortions, how long should they be confined in prison?

    Do you think this would slowdown the number of abortions each day?
