Explanation:
“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?

No Faithful Catholic May Vote for a Pro-Abortion Candidate
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?

Abortion is THE pre-eminent issue
Mike, you are using the ruse that so called Catholics like Ted Kennedy used to justify being the biggest promoter of death of the innocent in our society . He used a few less important social issues, which to be honest are discretionary (I believe that welfare reform and tuition vouchers do more to help the poor than his massive spending sprees)
According to the Church, NOTHING is as important as defending the unborn, you can't add up six from column B and equal that issue. Unless you are trying to manipulate the public and don't care about pleasing God.
