We all know that the Catholic Church has a canon law, this law which has been passed down during the entire history of the Catholic Church is meant to be to tell you what is required of you as a member of the body of Christ among several other topics. There are simple loss and there are more difficult laws the simple laws are going to confession once a year, no cremation at burial. Then of course there are the slightly harder ones that are largely ignored by our church today. Ladies and young women the obligated to wear a veil during services is one such law that today is largely ignored. Then there is even the harder ones no mutilation of the body this includes tattoos, piercings and other such habits.
These things we see every day are largely ignored by even the most devout Catholics. However because no one says anything does not make it correct nor even lawful within the Catholic Church. Jesus Christ it is days of miracles and walking the earth said one thing of importance he stated" render unto Caesar what is Caesar's render unto God what is God's. As a member of the body of Christ there are rules and laws that you are expected to obey and not ignore. One such law is the church's stance on respect for life makes no excuses for the violation or the support of abortion.
A self proclaimed ardent Catholic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi stated in life news yesterday that Catholics have this conscience thing. By this statement Congresswoman Pelosi is responding to the American Bishops Council refusal to support president Obama's health care plan on the grounds that a provision of the document supported federal money to provide for abortions as part of his plan.
If You will recall this is still the same Nancy Pelosi that accuse those standing against aabortion within this bill were willing to let women die in the streets . Congresswoman Pelosi went on to further state that she was a ardent Catholic and loved and followed her faith . I Somehow have trouble with the statement that she is a ardent Catholic .
Ms. Pelosi has been a career in Congress voting against the precepts of the Catholic Church , therefore I cannot confirm her statement . she further stated in the same article how she is somewhat bothered by the fact that American Catholics listen to the Pope and not her.your decision on that last statement I leave to you.
So I have figured out we can all decide who we want to be and what we want to do I have decided if she can be a Catholic or a ardent Catholic I can be the Easter Bunny but remember to get your orders in early I move a little slow these days. .
This serves as a great opening for us to discuss a subject that is on a lot of lips today. I mean of of course election 2012. Catholics however are caught by what some would call a catch 22 . however the Catch-22 can be easily explained by looking back at the words of Jesus render unto Caesar what is Cesar's and unto God what is God's. the few rights left is the freedom to vote this is given to you by he laws of the United States. So you have the right to vote and the right too a right of privacy as to how and who you voted for however does Thia right. .
Apply to God? .sadly.For some. it does not. for to render unto. God . What what is we must vote . our faith so how can real Catholics vote for abortion . because if you do . no matter how you try
.you cannot justify it . so be. . a real . Catholic and vote your faith .
God Bless
