| I don't think as a society we hear enough about how abortion affects even those who don't actually have an abortion. And I'm always happy to hear a Bishop speak plainly on what elections mean to us. So when Bishop Doran of the Rockford diocese posted this, I had to add it at Living Catholicism:
I want to touch on this matter before we get too close to the November madness. As human beings, as citizens of a “first world country,” as Americans, and as Catholics, most importantly, we have to take count of the circumstances in which we live. We know that the only creatures of God that outlast time are those created having intellect and will. All other things, with the passage of time, break up or break down.
Many of the issues that confront us are serious, and we know by now that the political parties in our country are at loggerheads as to how to solve them. We know, for instance, that adherents of one political party would place us squarely on the road to suicide as a people.
