They are not truly Catholic, but people who were baptised Catholic who are no longer practicing the fullness of their faith. - Joe Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:20:46 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-26 I don\'t see any evidence that the comments of the bishops have had any effect on any Catholic politcian. The Catholic faithful and even priests that want to vote for Obama or any pro-choice Catholic, are not in the least concerned about the abortion issue. They quote the bishops \"Faithful Citizenship\" document where it says \"Catholics are not single issue voters\" as justification for their decision. - Eric Wilmurt Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:44:39 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-25 Every calumny hurled at Sarah Palin is hurled at middle class America. The selection of Sarah Palin revealed the contempt and hatred that the elites - both on the left and on the right - hold for the \"bourgeoisie\". We have a class system in America. And within that class, the Intelligentsia have separated themselves from ordinary life. - atheling Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:36:04 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-24 Great post, I agree wholeheartedly...in terms of your comments you might want to add an additional line so one can put their URL/homepage, this grants greater interaction amongst those in the blogosphere.... - Carlos Echevarria Sun, 28 Sep 2008 19:39:49 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-21 And not a moment too soon. - Joe Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:18:24 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-20 I like the term \"seamless garment,\" and I am offended that anyone would think that just because I am pro-life on other issues that I am any less opposed to abortion. - Stephen M.

I wish you the very best! - Nina Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:16:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-17 \"The Catholic Thing\" is a shot in the arm for lukewarm Catholics. I am most appreciative of your daily essays. One thing I would like to say is that our Bishops, to me, would be and would have been more effective on the abortion issue if they had come out publicly challenging politicians on the basis of the moral law rather than threatening the withholding of the Blessed Sacrament. After all they are supposed to be moral ieaders who can lead those not of our faith into the Light of Christ. - Ruth Schiavone Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:38:11 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-16 I also find Sarah Palin inspiring. Her views on abortion are certainly compatible with mine, as are her other political views. The tremendous threat Palin poses to Democrats was clear to each of them as they watched her acceptance speech. Here is a woman who is everything they have trumpeted for 40 years: she has a successful career, she rose from the middle class, she does all the things men do (and better than most of them!) - but she is pro-life, conservative, and beautiful. This CANNOT be! - Angelina Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:03:26 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-15 I worry though that the appeal of Sarah Palin is wearing off. As the economic situation gets worse, peoples\' attention is turning away from the power of her personality and what she represents. I am also concerned about the degree to which the bishops are speaking out. I wonder if it won\'t become some sort of old world Eucharistic power politics. Now, I understand that, for the sake of shepherding their flocks, rebuke is necessary. But, does anyone else worry about where this might go? - Mark Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:30:41 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/rule-changes.html#comment-12 wonder whether Sarah Palin herself is not just another \"i,m personally opposed to abortion but\"... people. Has she done anything to change the fact that Alaska has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the country? While I do admire her personal morals and the fact that she has become a successful woman without the ultra feminist anti patriarchy nonsense, I think her selection was just another Republican dirty trick to reframe the debate with Obama that has appeared to work so far. - frank Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:32:28 +0100
