Abortion

[nikki1]

Well I didn't vote for him so my hands are clean.

Second,

Christians need to be the moral policemen, or salt of the earth...

I disagree completely. It's not our job to be the moral anything to the world. It's our job to preach the gospel and build up the Body of Christ.

Blessings,

I didn't vote for him either....but

I don

The cath's say the same thing, it is a moral duty to vote and vote your morals. They took alot of flack

for it too.

"In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia,

it is never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favour of such a law, or vote for it."

-- Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life (73)

A voter's guide for serious cath's and their 5 nonnegotiable s state it well.

Also as for guilt. Surely the guy didn't mean that every one voted for pro-abortion candidates.

It sounds like he's saying the bulk of the church is sleeping. Hence, his story about the voting in Texas.

If the numbers I have heard are close,(America is 90% Christian), it's time for the sleeping giant to awake!

Abortion is different though I think as a witness to who we are as a culture and a people, it is also a very sneaky thing because it is promoted and sold by the government and the culture.

We are talking about killing healthy unborn children because they are not being born at the right time or situation for the parents. So just like the brave Christians who were not quite during the fascist times when persecution reined or during other times when cultures are morally challenged, we can't wash our hands of abortion, we cannot be "pilots". Who will stand for those unborn children if we don't? What will we say to those children when we see them in heaven?

They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
