dUSt Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Tim Kaine, a Catholic who speaks openly about his faith, is on Obama's "short list". Unfortunately, he is only "personally pro-life", which he explains as being opposed to abortion but in favor of a women's right to choose. STUPID.

rkwright Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've grown very tired of the 'political' Catholic. The one that puts national policy above their religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamity Calamity Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 "Im personally opposed to issue X but I think the exact opposite should be promoted in public policy". Isn't that a hypocrite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIX Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah, I didn't fall for it. I was pretty sure he would be a nominal Catholic. a CINO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmonk Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 A man with faith cannot seperate it from his daily life... if he thinks or claims he can, then he has no faith at all. As for him being a hypocrite, we all are hypocrites... unless we are perfect, we are hypocrites. Doing anything we know is wrong makes us one. The word "hypocrite" gets thrown around too much without people thinking what it actually means. God Bless, ironmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless, ironmonk[/quote] Not to be argumentative but I'm pretty sure this instance with Obama's potential VP fits the definition of hypocrite nicely. And to be fair Ill throw in Jeb Bush on the Republican side. Anyhoo, this does bring up a larger issue in my mind. If the Democrats would just drop the abortion stuff as a party platform imagine how many Catholics they would get. Ive noticed some people on this board find themselves sympathetic to Democrats but cannot get over the life issue. Something to think about anyway.

dUSt Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 One positive side effect that might happen if this becomes a reality, the pope will publically condemn the VP of the United States' stance on abortion and strengthen the church's public perception as the true voice of Christ.
