New Catholic Vote ad
As a Catholic, I was interested in seeing this ad, and it was worth it. I found it very, very powerful. I’ll admit it, at some points it even brought tears to my eyes (don’t ask me why, because I don’t know. It just did).
This video, I think, is relevant to more than just Catholics. They’re right on multiple levels, whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, agnostic, atheist… whatever your religious preference, it doesn’t matter, because the values that this country was founded on are applicable to all Americans, regardless of race, gender, or religion.
And yes, abortion plays a role in that, as does gay marriage, but it’s more than just that. It’s about reclaiming our heritage as Americans, about getting back to the values, morals, and traditions we once held dear. We’ve long since let them go. Our culture has been cheapened, and this election will be a step in either the right or the wrong direction. CatholicVote doesn’t come right out and say which way is the right way, but I think we can hazard a guess.
In any case, this ad was great. It’s a good reminder of what’s really important, and hopefully it will encourage people to wake up and start paying more attention between now and November — and most importantly, encourage them to vote in November.

Yes can you please talk about the morals of the catholic church to the priest that molested me and my younger brother…
let him without sin cast the first stone.
Hmmm… Another drive-by comment from someone claiming to have been molested by a Priest. I for one, as a Roman Catholic, am sick and tired of the attacks on my Church.
In the United States, there have been more children molested by public school employees than by Priests. This is a fact. But no one is attacking the public school system for that.
Let us all remember that Priests are men just like we are. They are sinners just like we are. Have there been men in the Priesthood that have violated the trust we place in them? Yes and that is a tragedy. But the Church is addressing this problem. The public schools however seem to be covering the problem up.
another attack by someone claiming to be molested by a priest in the Catholic Church? How dare you?
The priests name is: Michael Stephen Baker
Please look it up. The church has done nothing but deny this to our family. Yet for some reason even though they deny this have paid for our citizenship papers?
However luckily the police and justice department have done what the church has failed to do.
