Archbishop Lori: Catholics should not vote for candidates who support intrinsic evils

Crystal clear and well said. Kudos to Archbishop Lori for his leadership and courage to speak out. More of the Bishops should also be publically saying the same thing. Where are they?

This sounds remarkably basic. Yet it is an indication of where we are today. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Catholics who do not exhibit an understanding of, nor any distaste for those things once described as intrinsically evil. Many belong to organizations that support those things and many make enormous sacrifices to express themselves opposition to Church authorities. This is harmful to souls. To many, however, this is simply realizing the American dream.

I am sure one of the things the Archbishop had in mind was abortion. However the use of articficial contraceptives is intrinsically evil as well. Unfortunately many see nothing wrong with this. Will that come up in debate and the political fray? This is a tactic of the Obama Admn that is using the health care mandate as an issue of contraception. Potentially you could have most candidates saying they had no problem with contraception which is an intrinsic evil. Obama is bad on both issues.
