Archbishop Favalora in my diocese, as well as other bishops in Florida, have been providing crystal clear assesments of the inviability of voting for a candidate who condones, sanctions and promotes not just abortion but INFANTICIDE...

That candidate is Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Jr. and his sidekick, the new age theologian, Uncle Joe "Not a John Paul II Catholic" Biden!!!

A good sign when one bishop quotes another. Particularly The Bishop For Our Time, our beloved Charles Chaput. Other former bishops for their time are no doubt pleased- Archbishop Carroll, Dagger John Hughes, Blessed Fulton Sheen. Methinks our brethren in the pews may be listening. And likely to react accordingly.

Blatant Lie, look at the pew poll 54-34 amongst catholics, 49-41 amongst white catholic. Please stop cherry-picking polls. I'll trust the reputable pew poll than this unrecognized pollster.

Will from CT...nice use of charity in your disagreement. Why blatant lie? Why not a, "You might be mistaken?" Not that i know if he was or wasn't.

Investor's Business Daily and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics.

TIPP has this note at the bottom of their daily poll numbers:
"In 2004, TIPP, a Division of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, came within 3/10 of 1% point of President Bush's actual margin of victory, thus winning the title of "Nation's Most Accurate Pollster." We're planning to do it again this time around, so why not come along for the ride!"

I didn't hear that from the pulpit this weekend--instead I heard quaffling comments on the moral import of the election, which seemed to me at least to imply that as far as God's concerned either candidate could be the right choice.

Perhaps that was heard from every pulpit in Denver.

Here in the Detroit Archdiocese was read a letter from Cardinal Maida regarding the wrongness of ESCR, and a plea to vote No on Proposal 2.

I'm from CT as well. Unfortunately, in such a Catholic state, there are alot of Obamanazis like this guy. The bishops here, at least to my knowledge, have not shown very much spine in regards to the presidential campaign. Nothing more than ambiguities. I guess that's why CT is sure to go Obama. Culpability for the sins of those who vote for him will surely rest on the bishops at the Judgment, methinks.

Qualifier: IF they don't speak up before the election. Also, I may have missed a clear teaching moment somewhere. If so, forgive me.

The Pew Poll is a left-wing joke. Tom

Hey Will, don't trust any poll. Just watch the election returns on November 4th and find how really close this election is. This is the only poll that counts.

The TIPP poll has been swinging wildly in some categories. Day 16 (Oct 28 release) results for Catholics has Obama at 45%, McCain at 42% and undecided at 14%. Day 12 had Obama with a slight lead, Days 13 and 14 had McCain with a good lead, Day 15 had them tied, and now Obama is back up in the most recent one. Difficult to see a trend here; the actual state of things is probably an even split.

Thomas,

Do you have a link for that statement from Bishop Johnston? I looked on the web site for the Springfield - Cape Girardeau diocese, but I couldn't find it. (I'm not disputing its accuracy; I just would like to be able to read and pass along the entire statement, especially since I live very close to that diocese.)
Paul H | 10.29.08 - 2:58 pm | #

Actually, I just found Bishop Johnston's full statement posted at Creative Minority Report, though I'd still like to find a more official source if possible.

TIPP poll Day 17 has McCain back on top (slightly) among Catholics 44% to 42%. I would think that the fluctuations are an artifact of the polling and not actual fluctuations among those polled.
Doc Angelicus | 10.29.08 - 3:40 pm | #

Well said Doc. And it does not account for 14% of respondents. That is a huge margin.
