Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)

This is very discouraging considering the Catholic Five Non-Negotiable Issues: Abortion, Euthanasia, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, Human Cloning and Homosexual Marriage. I’m not sure about Obama’s position on euthanasia or human cloning, but he is on the opposite side of the Catholic Church on the other three. Obama’s extreme stance on abortion, partial birth abortion and live birth abortion should, in itself, cause a true Catholic to cast their vote for McCain.
“A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law that contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals” (Congregation of the Doctrin of the Faith, Doctinal Notes on Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life (CPL) 4).
“Democracy must be based on the true and solid foundation of non-negotiable ethical principles, which are the underpinning of life in society” (CPL 3).
I would urge every true Catholic to see “The Voter’s Guide for Serious Catholics” published by Catholic Answers Action.

One can’t be pro-death penalty and pro-life.

All issues are important, but life is the most!
Vote for Life! We did. Vote McCain who is for LIFE!
