A
major part of the culture of
death is redefining marriage
to include same-sex couples.
Gay marriage is one major way
of preventing new life from
coming into the world, aside
from just being the abomination
that it is.
And
of course, Satan is the father
of lies. For folks to claim
that Obama is a pro-life candidate
is to really turn truth topsy-turvy.
It is simply diabolical.
So
again, this election is not
just about Democrats and Republicans,
but is about wrong and right,
about darkness and light (no
puns intended), about siding
with Satan or siding with Jesus.
Isn't the choice for a Catholic
clear? I pray so.
God
bless.

Biden's
Marriage of Convenience
When
Sen. Joe Biden walked onto the
"Ellen DeGeneres"
stage to David Bowie's song
"Changes," the irony
wasn't lost on values voters.
In the days leading up to his
interview, Sen. Barack Obama's
running mate has made some significant
changes to his position on marriage,
namely that he supports redefining
it. At the Vice Presidential
debate just 18 days ago this
was the exchange between the
candidates and moderator Gwen
Ifill.
GOV.
SARAH PALIN: ...I will
tell Americans straight up that
I don't support defining marriage
as anything but between one
man and one woman...I'm being
as straight up with Americans
as I can in my non-support for
anything but a traditional definition
of marriage...
IFILL: Let's
try to avoid nuance, Senator.
Do you support gay marriage?
BIDEN: No.
Barack Obama nor I support redefining
from a civil side what constitutes
marriage. We do not support
that.
Last
week, the Democratic candidate
took a serious detour from his
opposition to same-sex "marriage,"
telling an IN Los Angeles reporter
that he opposes Proposition
8, California's marriage protection
amendment. This morning on "Ellen,"
Biden reiterated that view and
added, "If I lived in California,
I'd clearly vote against Prop
8." Meanwhile, his GOP
counterpart stood by her initial
statements and told CBN's David
Brody that she supports a federal
marriage amendment. In Gov.
Palin's one-on-one with Brody,
she said, "...I have voted
along with the vast majority
of Alaskans who had the opportunity
to vote to amend our Constitution
defining marriage as between
one man and one woman. I wish
on a federal level that's where
we would go because I don't
support gay marriage."

Aborting Faith
In
a passionate speech on what
it means to be "pro-life,"
Archbishop Charles Chaput spoke
Friday about the disservice
done by Christian voters who
are abandoning the abortion
issue. More churchgoers seem
to be twisting faith to fit
their politics instead of evaluating
candidates through the lens
of faith. Speaking as a private
citizen, Chaput talked about
the crisis of conscience in
this election. "I believe
that Senator Obama, whatever
his other talents, is the most
committed 'abortion-rights'
presidential candidate of either
major party since the Roe v.
Wade abortion decision in 1973.
Despite what [others] suggest,
the party platform Senator Obama
runs on this year is not only
aggressively 'pro-choice,' it
has also removed any suggestion
that killing an unborn child
might be a regrettable thing.
To suggest-as some Catholics
do-that Senator Obama is this
year's 'real' pro-life candidate
requires a peculiar kind of
self-hypnosis, or moral confusion,
or worse." For more, please
