Can Catholics Vote For Pro-Choice Politicians?

Can Catholics Vote For Pro-Choice Politicians?

“They don’t vote as a block anymore.” These words were recently spoken by Monsignor Joseph Rebman about Catholic voters. Once a powerful demographic, Catholics today are bitterly divided over whether it is acceptable to vote for pro-choice politicians. Many Catholics are proudly progressive, but others insist that abortion is non-negotiable. What are the spiritual implications of a Catholic vote?

    Who is faithful?

    A study was done on the voting record of Catholics in Congress. The pro-life congressmen voted with the church against abortion but on nothing else. The pro-choice congressmen voted with the church on everything except on opposition to abortion. Now who is the good Catholic?
