Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death"Burke, who was named prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature in June, told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues.” He then attacked two of the party’s most high profile Catholics — vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion.
For those Catholics who disagree, or otherwise find this offensive, I suggest a careful reading of EWTN's "A Guide to Catholic Teaching and Voting", and if that is too much for you, Fr. Phillip Neri Powell O.P. has written a Dick and Jane explanation for us; PAY ATTENTION! ON Conscience (and Pecan Pies)
If you have read this material, and you complain that all of this is a dodge to drive Catholics into the hands of the Republican Party, I would respond that the policies of the Democratic party have driven out those of us who are Catholic and take our faith seriously and try and live by God's will.
