Counter the Rove Catholic Strategy

[davhill]

I found a nice web site http://www.votingcatholic.org . I took their quiz and found that I had a 95% agreement with the US Bishops Council document position and a 60% agreement with John Kerry and a -39% agreement with George Bush. Accordingly I am to vote for Kerry. Have your Catholic friends who think they have to support Bush take this test. They will be surprised at how they have been misled by a handful of conservative bishops and the Rove propaganda machine.

Voting Our Conscience, Not our Religion

It is written by the Dean of Arts and letters at Notre Dame. And it is very powerful. :hi:

If the Vatican voted, Kerry would most likely win 60-40.

I am seeing new signs in front of many Catholic homes: WE VOTE PRO-LIFE. I guess it's all in how you define "life."

You cannot be a one-issue voter and consider yourself a responsible voter. If I followed the bishops, my conscience would not be clear.
