Election will decide future

On October 18, 2012
Timothy Rookey

To the editor:

The election of 2012 will decide what kind of future our children and grandchildren will have: one based on Christian moral principles or one based on the wholesale discarding of them. The Obama Administration champions no limit on abortions up to nine months of gestation, gay marriage, and limitations on our religious freedom.

If re-elected, President Obama will likely appoint an additional two or three Supreme Court justices during his second term in office. They will reaffirm Roe v. Wade for generations to come and will impose same- sex marriage on all 50 states. Catholics of good conscience cannot vote for Mr. Obama. They should instead support the pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, and pro-religious liberty Romney-Ryan ticket. To do otherwise is to endorse intrinsic evils that are strongly against the teachings of the Catholic Church and highly offensive to Almighty God. Choose wisely as you vote on November 6.

Timothy Rookey, Middleton
