Newt Gingrich tells the truth on this issue too! Why can't Democrats tell the truth! Can a Catholic be a Democrat today or is the Democrat Party worse than the Masons in their anti-Catholic bigotry.Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

In response to your question, I think any nominal Catholic who votes Democrat betrays his faith. But that is not to say that Republicans are innocent, either.
We need hard teaching from the clergy, not "nuance." The faithful need to know that abortion is an intrinsic evil, a form of murder, and that there is no circumstance in which a Catholic can, in good faith, vote for a pro-abortion politician.
It also must be made clear that voting support to fund Planned Parenthood, or to require contraception coverage by insurance carriers is proscribed under CCC 2271-2273, every bit as much as if they were directly procuring.
Moral relativism and detached rationales pave the road to hell.
FYI, on the Senate vote a few days ago to overturn the HHS ruling--which failed by only a couple of votes--the voting of senators identifying themselves as Catholic split perfectly along party lines. If only a couple of Democrats identifying themselves as Catholic had voted Catholic instead of Democratic, it would have passed the Senate (and almost certainly the House).
Ironically, I just read this after glancing at the Letters to the Editor in the latest edition of the Southern Cross. It contains an angry letter from someone in Columbus GA who is offended by the strong language used in the S.C. against the Obama Adminstration's latest anti-Catholic initiative. This person is angry because she doesn't see the same strong language being used to condemn the death penalty.
We've sold em' candy for two generations now. Why do we expect them to know any better?
Gingrich handled the interview spectacularly!
The Left's strategy is to obfuscate and distort. They have done this from the very beginning on this issue. They make up an argument that the Right only cares because it politically expedient particularly since the economy seems to have bottomed out.
Not to derail the real intent of the thread, but I'm voting for Gingrich in the primary because everyone, especially everyone in Washington, hates him. I identify strongly with that.

Hard decision. Gingrich or Santorum. I may not decide until I am in the booth...
FWIW, I think that Gingrich is more easily defamed by the media than Santorum. But that said, there are certainly no other options, in my view.
