Catholics have a second look at the morality

Catholics have a second look at the morality According to CNN, Catholics voted for President Bush over Senator John Kerry by a 51 to 48 percent margin. Therefore, Catholics Bo Again Methodist over a Catholic candidate. Many Catholic bishops have stated Ein abortion? Non-negotiable issue. In the Diocese of Brooklyn, with Brooklyn and Queens, there is a unique monument to those who caused the death of our govement. However, I am aware of at least one congregation in Brooklyn that has a period of three thousand dollars for the memorial aborted. Meanwhile, 36 million people in the United States live in poverty. If the bishops are not silent, it speaks most certainly a whisper when it comes to issues of social justice and the death penalty. The Catholic Bishops? Candidate, George W. Bush, running almost 30 people in 1999 alone. Exit polls that the voters name of Bush? Moral values such as the number one reason they are voting for him. The religion was a factor in voting in presidential elections in 2004, the race, after an exit poll by news agency Associated Press. According to polls 22% of voters said "moral values" was the most important issue, as they voted - compared to 20%, cited the economy, 19% to terrorism, and only 15% said that Iraq was the central theme. However, this type of exit polls is pretty low. Moral values include stem cell research, gay marriage and against abortion. Thus, while other questions were out survey and identified a specific issue, the moral question involved a series of questions, all Catholics, taught to believe are fundamental issues. For Catholics, for abortion or pro-abortion candidate is considered a mortal sin. Certain conditions must be to commit a mortal sin. First, sin must be deliberate, with full awareness that it is wrong. A mortal sin, the sinner by preventing the entrance to heaven after death. Therefore, even for many Catholics, a vote for Kerry ensures an eteity in the fires of hell? See Jonathan Edwards? Sinners in the hands of an angry God. fair, not all Catholic bishops are such terrible consequences if a Catholic chose to vote for Kerry. In particular, 400 U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the publication of an election year of publication, discussed a wide range of issues of social justice and not a threat to all religious following a vote for Bush or Kerry. The problem is that few Catholics are aware of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, but the news from their local bishops and pastors. Abortion is an unreasonable amount of play while Sunday sermons, but unfortunately, this is at the expense of social justice and liberation theology. Theology of liberation is a movement, the fruit in Latin America in the early seventies. The movement includes the idea that it is the responsibility of the Catholic Church, is active against the oppression of the poor. This is a change of Catholic theology, was for centuries, in which the poor were taught that the greater their suffering in this world, the greater the reward in the next life. This policy, in large part, was established by the Church? Support for extreme right-wing dictatorships in Latin America. My fear is that many Catholic bishops who declared that a vote for Kerry is a mortal sin is back in time before the theology of liberation. Sister Maura Clark, a Mary Knoll nun, and Archbishop Oscar Romero dead speak for the poor and oppressed in Central America. Too many of our bishops and priests are dishonoring the work of these martyrs, who have shown that the poor are of lesser importance. Also, are they? Once again, the support of a president who probably believes that if you are not? Filed? They do not go to heaven. Catholics believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and are therefore not included in the 're-bo? Sense. Democrats were criticized last year for the presidential elections not limited morality. Morality is a conce for the poor and of national health systems for 45 million without health insurance after Pete Stark Member,? Our lack of a guarantee of health care safety net plunges million indirectly in bankruptcy and financial ruin, once sick, they can not afford to pay for their medical costs out-of-pocket. Conservatives should be conceed about living conditions, as for the unbo child. If they condemn the politicians who are pro-choice, they must respond to the sanctity of life and movement to criticize the leaders responsible for the death penalty. The Catholic Church can not afford to lose its Hispanic members, who are now part of Catholic schools and churches, Pentecostal churches both at home and abroad. According to a study by Columbia University? Hispanics report the fewest assets (two thirds report zero or negative change in net worth) than any other ethnic group in New York City. E? Sa po 'difficult to explain to this group, that a president who believes that tax cuts for wealthy Americans, it is in their interest, or is only economic. It 'difficult to justify as you.
