This post will hopefully be shorter than most. However this post will be perhaps the most important I ever blog. Every year on Nov 2, we are given the privilege of voting. This is a freedom that should not be taken lightly nor ignored because this is your voice. I once stated that if every Catholic voted the same way every year the Catholic vote could control this nation. However this will never happen because so many of our faith vote but not how they should. Voting your faith is perhaps the most important thing you can do for this country as we now find our nation on the brink of both economic and social disasters. The approval of abortion was passed in 1973. Prayer is absent throughout or school system. We see daily people and groups forced to take down crosses and the Muslims and their faith are given more freedoms that of the Christians faiths. While were I live no religious t-shirts and no religious medals to include crucifixes. These are common where I love. So off we go for a quick run down on the five issues Catholic (serious only).
The duty of every Catholic to vote is clearly defined among church documents however there are 5 issues that Catholics must stand on. I didn't say if the Average Catholics felt like it. I said must consider as a major factor in their voting decisions. In fact the Catholic Church calls these the five non-negotiable items. Number 1 on the list is abortion. Tomorrow number 2' Have a wonderful Mass and Thanksgiving. But also remember to thank the one who all thanks and glories belong.
God Bless
