A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters by Fr Stephen Torraco

I am a 60 year old Catholic and have voted just about every year I was eligible. It is obvious to me that the party I was registered had turned to a party of pro-death and anti-religion (they have also taken God out of their plank). They weren't always that way. After reading this booklet on Catholic voting I have verified my suspicions that voting for this wayward political party has put my soul at risk. I was always pro-life and I turned a blind eye to what the party had done to itself and voted for them anyway. I found this booklet in my church pew and it was like having an epiphany. I am now supporting the party of pro-life and pro-religion. I am going to purchase a number of these and place them in the pews prior to future elections. It says what many priests are afraid to say at the pulpit. i feel this booklet may have possibly saved my soul. i finally pulled my head out of the sand.

I got this pamphlet at a local church. It is the most excellent and exceptional pamphlet I have read regarding conscious and voting. It is very succinct in helping one discern the state of their conscious when voting regarding moral issues and representatives. It was helpful as it gave differing scenarios that could arise. It helped to clarify what one who desires to align themselves with Christ and his church should do.

Being a Catholic voter I believed that, although I regard abortion as repugnant, I was not party to the sin if I voted for Obama, who not only approves of abortion but promotes it. As a lifelong DEM, I embrace all of the planks of the Democratic Partys Platform EXCEPT abortion on demand, and I REJECT almost everything the Republican Party stands for, because of the conduct of too many Republicans Ive viewed in my lifetime. I read this leaflet weeks before the 2012 Election and although I had voted for Obama in 2008, I abstained from voting in 2012.
