Would Jesus Vote Democrat or Republican?
From The Educated Catholic: Forever Catholic by Rudolph Lohse (orlandotruth@mail.com)
The Catholic Church is not a political party. It is a defender of the moral law. Jesus is not partisan and would never support a particular political group, such as the Democrats or Republicans. Rather Jesus would vote to uphold the moral teachings He has entrusted to His Church for safekeeping through the Pope and Magisterium, i.e. the bishops in communion with the Pope. Thus Jesus would be oriented to specific issues to determine and support those that are in accord with His divine law, and permit flexibility of choice to the people whenever the issues are primarily secular rather than divinely mandated. This is entirely consistent with His mandate to “Render to Caesar (the world) the things that are Caesar’s, and render to God the things that are God’s.” From this frame of reference, consider the following issues that have become the focal point of political campaigns:
God's Things
One must preserve God's Law by always opposing:
Abortion
Same-sex marriage
Embryonic stem cell research
Cloning
Infanticide
Euthanasia
