I cannot believe that ANY Catholic would vote for a pro-abortionist/pro-infanticide candidate such as Obama. The ones that are either blithely "choose" to ignore the teachings of the Church from the Early Church Fathers to the present or they are merely nominally Catholic, i.e., rarely attend Mass and the Sacraments. What part of the Church's teaching do they not understand? Abortion is a deal-breaker. Other issues, even though they may be important in themselves do not supercede or have equally footing with the right to life and the protection of our most vulnerable. The Church is very clear on this and it is not left up to the individual popes-unto-themselves, who will quote chapter and verse to suit their own ends. You cannot be Catholic and "pro-choice" (actually pro-abortion). The people who call themselves Catholic and persist in their error are gravely wrong and will have much to account for at the final reckoning.

I heard on Ave Maria Radio, 10/19/2008(WDEO 98.5 FM Southwest Florida)some Nigerian bishops approval of Obama. Ladies and gentlemen, the Church teaching on faith and morals is not rocket science or needing thousnands of hours of university studies to understand righteousness. By the way the majority of the Old Testament Jews and the first Christians could not read well or write well in the first place and understood well on the issue of abotrion and contraception. Also of oppresive governments they had to live under.

GOD HELP US, this country is sick, WHY NO HELP FROM THE CHURCH????

It truly is an Obama-nation! God help us all! And God have Mercy on any so called Catholic who will vote for Obama.

Almost every Catholic I know in my area - outside of my immediate family - are fervent supporters of Obama.

I don't believe for one second that Obama shows any kind of lead whatsoever! Obama has NOTHING to offer Catholics. I'm beginning to wonder about these polls...do they reflect wishful thinking?

As a Catholic, I am voting for Barack Obama with a clear and informed conscience. After reading the encyclicals, Rerum Novarum, Quadragesimo Anno, Laborem Exercens, Pacem et Terris, Mater et Magistra and the documents from Vatican II, including Gaudium et Spes, and Justicia in Mundio, I can asset that the positions of Obama are more aligned with those of John McCain and the GOP. I also believe that a deep understanding of the Eucharist, a la Rahner, Schillebeckx, and Metz leads one to the same conclusion. Obama is more in line with Catholic Magisterial teaching than McCain and Palin - therefore, as a Catholic, I am voting for Obama without the slightest moral doubt.

P.S. Considering all those accusations against Palin and McCain, as well as the sheer viciousness of their supporters, seem to guarantee that Obama will win. If Obama does win, the Right will have itself partly to blame.

Great apostasy...or misguided desperation to build a better society, in which case the Church can step in and help to educate people?

Baby-killers...or woefully misguided attempts at building civil rights, in which case the Church can step in and call us back to the most fundamental civil rights?

Judgements...or purification, in which case the Church can call us back to the fullness of truth and love, not just the traditional-liberal dichotomy?

Racially divisive...or a man who heard the voices of those most oppressed by traditional society, in which case the Church can step in and point us in the right direction?

AntiChrist, man of death...or a misguided soul trying to do what he thinks is right, in which case the Church can step in and lead him in the right direction?

God help our Church if the language of love has been replaced by the language of fear.

It is beyond my comprehension how any one claiming that they are catholic state that they will vote democratic and or for Obama. There has been enough information about the man's views and theology expressed and not even to mention our church leaders telling us to be aware, to look ,listen and read everything we can to be an aware and vote according to the Catholilc religion's values wake up Americans before it is too late.

This is a direct result of the inability of our Bishops to DIRECTLY AND SPECIFICALLY address the issue of abortion and the sin which is to vote for OBAMA. Their lame duck tiptoeing around the issue for fear of losing their precious tax exempt status is a direct affront to the fact that God will take care of His Church. Faith is LOST.

I am a Catholic and although I do not agree on everything with McCain (I am more conservative) one thing I do agree wholeheartedly with him is that life begins at conception. I cannot with a clear conscience vote for someone who believes in abortion (Obama) much less socialism and a "Entitlement"society. Why mandate giving to the poor what others (who may have been poor once too) have worked so hard for. Let those that can give of their heart and through charities not through a mandate by the government in new taxes.

At best Obama is a communist; at worst, pro-baby-killer. It's imperative that he not be elected - McCain is not ideal but at least he's not a racially divisive quasi-commie who is promising things that cannot possibly be granted without causing a civil war. This will be exponentially worse than the Clinton presidency ever was, and that is where our current house of cards was built. God help our Republic.

This is the sad truth about the Catholic Church here in America...supporting a man who has promised to sign immediately into effect the FOCA bill.

Where are our Catholic leaders?? Why are they not TELLING their flock that they should NOT EVER vote Democrat...the party of death?????

How is it possible that Catholics are supporting 'pro baby death', Obama. The can only be Catholic in name only, CINO's.

Don't believe it! No I do not believe these polls. I have asked my friends who are mostly Catholic and not a one of them support Obama. If this poll is true, than the great apostasy is in full swing marking a very sad time in the Catholic church. Abama would not be even be close in a well catechized Catholic world. If this poll were true, it would be clear evidence of the failure of our Bishops to shepherd their flocks in Christ Jesus. Woe to America, woe to those who would vote for such an anti-christ figure as Obama-nation, but a very big woe to those Bishops that are silently supporting this man of death.

Everytime I see this Obama, the movie, The Omen III: The Final Conflict immediately comes to my mind.

I have felt for some time now that great judgments are coming our way, and that this will be hastened if American turns its face further from God by electing a pro-abortion president.

If Catholics are instrumental in choosing a leader who favors this darkest of all sins, we deserve all the suffering of events to come.

I wonder who they ask? Most of my parishoner friends are for McCain. And the Protestant friends I work with also are supporting McCain. I doubt that the polls ever survey Texas. I wonder why?

If you don 't have Life then nothing else matters!
McCain is not the greatest-I agree but PALIN ROCKS!!! Obama is just plain frightening with Biden! We as Catholics need to protect Innocent Life!
WE can;t vote for Death!
