View from the choir

I am a Catholic layperson and Secular Franciscan with a sense of humor. After years in the back pew watching, I have moved into the choir. It's nice to see faces instead of the backs of heads. But I still maintain God has a sense of humor - and that we are created in God's image.

Texas Bishop: Catholics should not vote for Obama

From Catholic World News:

A retired US bishop has issued a public statement declaring that Catholics cannot in good conscience vote for Barack Obama in this year's presidential election.

"A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. (Barack Obama) is a pro-abortion candidate," said Bishop Rene Gracida, the retired head of the Corpus Christ, Texas diocese.

Bishop Gracida's statement has been released as a potential radio advertisment by pro-life activist Randall Terry.
