NY BISHOPS CLARIFY PRIORITIES

In case Catholic Voters have been getting their catechism from Doug Kmiec and the like, The NY Bishops have released a statement to clarify Catholic DUTY:

"The document [issued by the bishops of NY] 'Our Cherished Right, Our Solemn Duty,' states that there are many important issues such as the right to life, issues of war and peace, the education of children and how we treat the poor and vulnerable. While all must be considered, 'not every issue is of equal moral gravity.'

'The inalienable right to life of every innocent human person outweighs other concerns where Catholics may use prudential judgment, such as how best to meet the needs of the poor or to increase access to health care for all,' the New York bishops’ document says.

'The right to life is the right through which all others flow. To the extent candidates reject this fundamental right by supporting an objective evil, such as legal abortion, euthanasia or embryonic stem cell research, Catholics should consider them less acceptable for public office.'"
