Regardless of who we like or don’t like, as a Catholic and as a citizen of the United States of America, it’s our civic duty—and our great privilege—to cast our vote today. As a Catholic, it’s also our moral, religious and common sense duty to vote with integrity and with a well-formed conscience, putting resepect for each individual human life—especially the innocent, defenseless unborn—first and foremost.
Think about it. You and I had no say whether or not we would be born. We had no say who our parents or siblings or relatives would be. We had no say in which part of the world we would be born. But here we are. Here. Now. At this moment in time and eternity. And it is our God-given duty to do our best with what we’ve been given and where we’ve been placed in this world. And amid all the talk and noise, there is one issue that it is more fundamental than all else: The protection of innocent human llfe. After that, religious freedom is second. But without life, what else can there be? So, vote for those candidates and propositions and options that #1 support innocent unborn human life.
It’s not about personalities. It’s about principles. And the #1 most important principle of all is the protection of innocent human life. Ask Pope Francis.
Ask St. Pope John Paul II. Ask St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Ask St. Padre Pio. Ask God. We’ll get the same answer. Every time. Vote for life!
Via con Dios!
