After viewing the discussion between Pastor Warren and each of the two candidates, I cannot see how a Christian and certainly Catholics can vote for Obama. The answers to the right to life questions in particular the one on when does life begin showed the stark difference between the two men. McCain said it directly, "at the moment of conception" and Obama gave a half baked answer that the answer to this question was above "his pay grade". His answer is troubling in two respects: The first that he cannot discern when life begins; the second that he can't make a decision.

It is clear from the Catholic perspective whom the best candidate is!

I guess that all the Christain leaders including our own bishops are afarid to speak out politically because of the tax exempt status. I don't thisnk this is a good enough excuse and I think they should speak our for what the Church and in fact really what Our Lord proclaimed while on his Earthly mission: Love one and other treat each other as you would treat yousrself. So the questions: Is abortion an act of love? Would a promoter of abortion had wanted the same thing done to him or herself? the answers are obvious and this is why I think Christian leaders need to stand up. If they are afraid of the tax issue, then just stand up in the pulpit as Father so and so or Biship so and so and as an American citizen state what the Church beleives in and let the congreagation make up its own minds. It's not like you have to endorse a partcilar candidate. But besides the leaders, each individual Catholic needs to deal with this question. I really don't understand how a Catholic can agree with abortion if they truly believe in Jesus and what his mission was and still is?
