Again this is under pain of MORTAL SIN!

FYI: Bishop Lori heads the USCCB’S [United States Conference of Catholic Bishops] Committee on “Religious Liberty” Testified Before the Congress. Here are his remarks.

What The US Constitution Says:

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also the first section of the Bill of Rights

. It is arguably the most important part of the U.S. Constitution, as it guarantees freedoms of religion, speech, writing and publishing, peaceful assembly, and the freedom to raise grievances with the Government. In addition, it requires that a wall of separation be maintained between church and state. It reads:

"

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Here is the Final APPROVED US Constitution WORDING in 1789

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ."

　

The final wording was accepted by the House of Representatives on 1789-SEP-24; and by the Senate on 1789-SEP-25. It was ratified by the States in 1791

Friends are you aware that each of us has a GRAVE [under the pain of Mortal Sin] obligation to VOTE?

CCC # 2240 Submission to authority and co-responsibility for the common good make it morally obligatory to pay taxes, to exercise the right to vote, and to defend one's country: Pay to all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. [Christians] reside in their own nations, but as resident aliens. They participate in all things as citizens and endure all things as foreigners. . . . They obey the established laws and their way of life surpasses the laws. . . . So noble is the position to which God has assigned them that they are not allowed to desert it. The Apostle exhorts us to offer prayers and thanksgiving for kings and all who exercise authority, "that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way."

　

The “Church” Cannot, Will not, and Does NOT tell you or me “HOW TO VOTE”!…

BUT She MUST, can and DOES tell us ALL

how we CANNOT VOTE!

No Catholic and No Christian can follow God in Obedience to the Fifth Commandment:

“THOU SHALT NOT KILL” and support in ANY manner a Pro choice [OK to kill and abort babies] candidate. It is a grave Moral issue that trumps every political consideration; and every other issue of importance. Nothing is more precious than Life Itself! There is no other issue or group of issues that equal saving Life’s.

What does this mean

? What does this obligate each of us too? It means that we must put our politics ASIDE. We must not permit our personal comfort, our own ideology, our own preferences, or issues that benefit us in other way’s to compete with our considerations on who we vote for. Again this is under pain of MORTAL SIN!
