Bishop reminds Catholics to remember Judgment Day in the voting booth

Bishop Robert HermanSt. Louis, Oct 18, 2008 / 08:03 am (CNA).- Bishop Robert J. Herman, the administrator of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, has written a column reminding Catholics that their vote will be a decision weighed on the Day of Judgment. He urged Catholics not to treat the unborn as the neglectful rich man treated Lazarus in the biblical parable.

“Judgment Day is on its way,” the bishop wrote in the St. Louis Review. “We cannot stop it. We don’t know when it will come, but just as surely as the sun rises daily, the Son of Man will come when we least expect.”

“For many, this coming election may very well be judgment day, for this election will measure us,” he continued, referencing Christ’s words of judgment in Matthew 10:32-33:

“Everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My heavenly Father. But whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.”

Bishop Herman asked the faithful to consider what kind of witness they give to God when they enter the voting booth on Election Day.

“The decision I make in the voting booth will reflect my value system. If I value the good of the economy and my current lifestyle more than I do the right to life itself, then I am in trouble,” the bishop wrote.

He cited Pope John Paul II’s apostolic exhortation Christifideles laici, which said outcry on human rights is “false and illusory” if the right to life is not defended to the maximum.

“The right of our children to be protected from destruction is greater than my right to a thriving economy,” Bishop Herman continued.

“My desire for a good economy cannot justify my voting to remove all current restrictions on abortion. My desire to end the war in Iraq cannot justify my voting to remove all current restrictions on abortion.”

Bishop Herman looked to the spiritual dimension as well.

“Those 47 million children our nation destroyed are still living. We have destroyed their bodies, but their souls are still alive. When our Lord comes again, they may very well be there to judge us. Even worse, Jesus tells us that whatever we do to the least of our brethren, we do to Him. We would truly shudder if we heard the words, ‘I was in my mother’s womb but you took my life!’

“It is quite possible that we might see these children, but, depending upon the choices we have made, we may very well be separated from them by a great chasm which cannot be crossed, much as the rich man who ignored Lazarus, the poor man, during his lifetime here on earth but was separated from him after death.”

Bishop Herman said the “deepest problem” with many Catholics is that they have become accustomed to rationalizing away a “life of sinful actions” headed in the wrong direction.

“My goal is not to engage you in some political party way but to engage you with our Savior and His teachings. We need to constantly challenge our accustomed behaviors in the light of the Gospel,” he wrote.

He said the issues of the coming election could help people learn about the teachings of the Catholic Church and to use the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

“When we do this, both we and the heavens will be filled with joy!” he asserted.

“Judgment Day is on its way,” he repeated, encouraging people to pray the family Rosary daily between now and Election Day.

In a previous column for the St. Louis Review, Bishop Herman urged Catholics not to put politics ahead of the Fifth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”

“Save our children!” he wrote. “More than anything else, this election is about saving our children or killing our children. This life issue is the overriding issue facing each of us in this coming election. All other issues, including the economy, have to take second place to the issue of life.”

Sure, the economy is only what matters now right…that is only the case when it’s a Dem that gets caught in illegal activity. Doesn’t matter that the guy runs on family values platform…doesn’t matter that he replaced a guy who was scum because he was scum…who cares if he is scum right? This is ridiculous. The story is a week old and nobody has barely heard of it because of the bias in the mainstream media. This country is going socialist and all they can talk about is Obama planning his big victory party…and how this “Messiah” is going to change the world! He’ll change the world alright. We are going to be paying for every lazy person in america to sit on their asldkfja and collect money from hard working people like myself….and the idiots who don’t see this are blind! They think this economy is bad? Look when Jimmy Carter was president….Interest rates of 21%, double-digit unemployment, the world viewed us as week….God help us when this scam artist gets elected. I don’t care if a bunch of people on Wall Street lost money. I feel bad for those who have lost money in their savings, but those are the breaks folks. When you risk your money, you risk your money. It will come back…but it takes time. This economy is not the worst ever. It has been great but now is down. That is the way economic cycles work. When people realize that we are paying for you to sit on your couch and complain I don’t give you enough by spreading the wealth, I guess America will wake up. It will be in another 4 years that we will be throwing the leftists out. The problem is that they will have all of their welfare programs in full bore and it is almost impossible to stop them. Scary!

I heard a lot about it. It was all over the Daily Show, for one thing, and there have been other mainstream news report about it, as well. The guy is a disgusing lout, but I’m afraid the implications of this really are less interesting than what Foley was doing– people were enthralled with the facts in that case because it involved a young, male, page (e.g., a subordinate working for Congress and congressmen, kind of like an intern). There was NO shortage of coverage for the most famous intern scandal of our time, which involved worse conduct but not the super-sensational aspect of it involving someone of the same sex who was apparently underage….

Should we be surprised that the liberal mainstream media is turning its back on the Mahoney scandal? They have been brushing Obama’s leftist illuminati indiscretions under the rug for the past 20 months, so why should this be any different?

Obama the Marxist Messiah
Proof is in the Public Record.
“The public record is our only proof,” says former Naval Intelligence Officer Marion Valentine.
“In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis. He had outlined the Communist plan to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office.
“I have researched every piece of legislation I can find that the Liberal Democrats have passed since the early sixties, and if you will research for yourself, you will find that they have been slowly moving this country toward Socialism.
“When Obama announced he was running for President as an unknown with only one major speech at the DNC (that the DNC and MSM made so much fuss over), he aroused my old intel suspicions. So I started researching.
“I have not found any evidence to convince me he is a Muslim, bur I did find his radical associations were unusual. I found Frank Marshall Davis, who had fled from Chicago to Hawaii when Obama was 12 years old, was Obama’s mentor from then till Davis died in 1987.
“Davis put Obama in touch with the Socialist Party in Chicago (called the New Party) which Ayers is also a member of, (emphasis added) therefore the first “Planned” contact with Ayers. The New Party helped launch and finance Obama’s political career. Obama…selected, trained, groomed and scripted to become the “puppet” leader of the United Socialist States of America.
