Catholics (at least the ones that aren't single-issue voters) should also be made aware of the type of Christians that John McCain has sought to represent in exchange for endorsements. (HINT: They are the type that consider the Roman Catholic Church to be "The Whore of Babylon").

All Christians should be united in opposition to the issues which go against the teachings of Christ.
ReplyDeleteAbortion, Euthenasia, cloning, racism, are intrinsicly evil and are wrong always.
Poverty, Health Care, family, war prevention, and all social issues all very important and should be supported aggresively.
Only if we unite as Christians can we accomplish this.
