6. As a catholic I am disgusted at the church playing politics
It is a clear case of trying to blackmail and intimidate catholics
into voting for *.If the church is stating that catholic politician
are to follow in their public service the churchs teachings then
they should also not serve communion to repigs that support
capital punishment.What about the politicians that supported the iraq war? The pope came out strongly against the war.
They wanted to push abortion back into the limelight hoping that it
would get the attention as a wedge issue.
I personally would not chose the option of abortion.However I would
take the the streets to fight for the right for it to be available
for anyone that wanted one.I would never judge anyone who does not share my view.This doesnt mean that I am open to religious blackmail.
This has shaken me to the core.I think there is going to be a big voter backlash against the catholic churchs intimidation.
