Our population is aging and will need increased social service spending. WW@ ended, the wars were in now show no sign of ending.”

“So the Catholic Church should no longer speak out about capital punishment? The church is rightly condemned today for not taking a strong political/moral stance against Hit ler and Mussolini. You would agree that they should have not taken that stance?”

“You're right, that was an overly broad and not well thought out statement on my part.
Yes, I approve of the church speaking out on issues such as civil rights, world peace, capital punishment, etc. I have been upset, though, in the last five or so years when bishops openly tell Catholics not to vote for pro-rights candidates and priests openly announce that pro-choice candidates--such as John Kerry and Ted Kennedy--would not be able to receive communion in their churches.”
