I'm having a difficult time trying to read this, but I must say, the Five Non-negotiables hit a nerve. I had a person on Facebook say that since abortion is legal, it keeps the woman from going to some butcher and possibly dying from having the abortion. HELLO! 1) There is FREE protection at every Health Department in the city where you live, and 2) if you die from having the abortion, it is God's will, and one more, 3) there are thousands, maybe millions of people in this country who are desperately trying to adopt a baby. Which brings me to another topic: What is with all these celebrities adopting from foreign countries? Sweet Jesus, it like "fashionable" of adopt from third world countries! I wish I was young enough to adopt a baby. I would love him/her so very much, but my time has passed.
Bryn, I changed my face book profile picture to a Poppy in honor of November 11 this year. Abby, I have a very dear friend in California who is waiting for the call that there is a baby for her. Every day someone is murdering the baby that could be hers.
You are free to decide where and with whom you stand. You do not, however, have the right to try to change the Catholic Church to suit your opinions or wishes. No matter how brilliant you are, you are not above the Magisterium. No matter how persuasive the political position, you cannot ignore the law of the Church and the Natural Law. Doctrine and Orthodoxy may be distasteful words in this age of personal freedoms, but if you call yourself Catholic, you need to know what Catholic doctrine actually says and follow it.
The five non-negotiables for Catholic Voters: Abortion, Euthanasia, Embroyonic Stem Cell Research, Human Cloning, Homosexual Marriage.
