Mike Inman - I did not express any opinion in my comment to you. I simply reported the church's official position (which was misrepresented on this thread) and I corrected an error that presumed only 2 political parties. The Church leaves some things to the individual's prudential judgment. You are entitled to yours, as are the rest of us, but your position is not the official position of the Catholic Church. It is simply your opinion within the parameters in which we are allowed to have an independent opinion.
