[lbo-talk] Vatican: Okay to Vote for Pro-Abortion Politician

[John Thornton]

Isn't the Pope just a little behind the curve on this one? I do not 
currently and have never known any Catholics who gave the abortion issue 
serious weight in their voting considerations. Not that none of then didn't 
care about the issue, they just were not inclined to make it THE choice in 
selecting a candidate. That seems like a tactic generally reserved for 
evangelical protestants. That domain is obviously not theirs exclusively 
but I believe they far outnumber the Catholics in that camp.
