These two Catholic leaders have a message for Catholic Americans. Besides living our Catholic Faith; it has something to do with voting.

From the writings of Pope Benedict XVI: “Co-Workers of the Truth” Meditations for Every Day of the Year. Ignatius Press, 1992
To faith belongs the readiness to suffer but also the courage to do battle…. The Church opposes the real powers of this age; when the Church condemns the disintegration of marriage, the destruction of the family, the killing of unborn children, the distortion of the Faith….
“I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34). He (Jesus) opposed the convenient lie, the easy-going injustice. He exalted the superiority of truth over the merely comfortable getting-along-together that leads ultimately to the power of injustice, to the domination of the lie. July 18th entry

It is impossible to act rightly without truth. That is why the will to know the truth, to seek it humbly and with a readiness to learn it, is the basic requisite of all morality. Where profit or success leads to the neglect of truth, the world is fragmented into interest groups because profit always depends on the viewpoint of the one acting. July 27th entry

We have lost sight of the fact that Christians cannot live like “everyone else.” … We have confused renewal with comfort…. Christians must realize today more than ever before that they belong to a minority and are in opposition to all that appears good, natural and logical, to what the New Testament calls “the spirit of the world.” Aug. 27th entry

Supreme Knight Carl Anderson addressed the 126th annual convention of the Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization, in Quebec city and pledged the Knights to fight abortion politicians, who buy Catholic votes with their stand on other issues….

“We will never succeed in building a culture of life if we continue to vote for politicians who defend and support a culture of death,” said Anderson to thunderous applause from the assembly. “It’s time that Catholics shine a bright line of separation between themselves and all those politicians of every political party who defend the abortion regime of Roe v. Wade.” …

P.S. RMGiuseffi, “Tonight, please pray for the baby of Samantha to be spared from a planned abortion in the morning. She has already cancelled two prior appointments. Baby is 12 weeks old and parents are pressuring for an abortion. The boyfriend wants to save his baby … parents will raise it. This girl is torn up… but then so will the baby, if we don’t pray, ANYTHING… a decade of the Rosary…”
