Vote Pro-life.

Vote for Constitutional Conservatives.

Don't vote for the lesser of two evils because he (or she) is still evil and the evil you don't know may turn out to be more evil than the evil you know.

Never vote party just for party's sake. The Democrats are principled, but most of their principles are evil. They sure stick by them though. The Republicans have principles on paper, but never let their priniciples interfere with what happens to be expedient. Support candidates who stand for life, traditional marriage, fiscal restraint, and limited government. If they don't stand for conservatism don't support them. Better to turn in a blank ballot or write in your own name.

You don't "waste your vote" by supporting a third party candidate. You waste your vote when you let them convince you that lukewarm liberal light is better than full-bodied liberal. It's a lie. When liberal expose their evil, they generate resistance. Would we really be better off if liberal John McCain had won? Would he have invigorated conservatism the way the Obama Marxists have?

Pray like everything depends on God and work like everything depends on you. It's the mark of the true Christian - Ora et Labora.

And remember during this All Souls month to pray for the intercession of the poor souls in purgatory. They have fought the good fight and won. Their sufferings are one of the strongest weapons in the arsenal of the Church Militant along with the rosary and the Holy Eucharist. Put on the armor of God and fight!

"All things work together for good for those who love the Lord."

Have you voted for life today, considering the will of the Lord of Life? Then be at peace no matter the outcome. "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and serve according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

It is the feast day of St. Charles Borromeo, one of the leading reformers of the Catholic Church. That, seems to me, to be a sign of hope that no matter what happens today we are to continue to fight for a culture of life and for our holy faith. St. Charles was born during the Protestant Revolution and became a cardinal at a time of serious abuses in the Church (sound familiar?). He assisted in the final deliberations of the Council of Trent and contibuted to the writing of the catechism of the Council. His catechetical efforts were so effective in his diocese (Milan, Ialy) that the protestants were unsuccessful in attempts to evangelize there.

St. Charles saw that many of the problems in the Church were due to the ignorance of the clergy, so he started seminaries and colleges to ensure the proper training of men aspiring to the priesthood. During times of famine and plague, he was a minister of charity, never sparing himself and liberally applying the wealth of the Church, even going into heavy debt.

But natural disasters were not his only challenge. His efforts at reform were resisted. One religious order, the Humiliati (Brothers of Humility), conspired to kill him. Gunshots were fired in his archiepiscopal chapel, but he escaped harm which many considered miraculous.

Having poured himself out as a libation for his people, St. Charles died November 3, 1584 at the age of only 46. To the end he was a model of his Lord, the Good Shepherd. Let us ask St. Charles to intercede for our Church and our country, and especially to pray for the hierarchy in the United States that they might put the common good of their people first. St. Charles Borromeo, pray for us.

Are you a real Catholic?

If a mouse is in the cookie jar, is he a cookie? Would you want to take a bite out of that fat, cookie-filled mouse? Yuck! Absolutely not; you know the difference between a white-chocolate-chip madacamia nut cookie and a disease-carrying rodent.

But what about the mice in the Church? A person can call himself anything he likes, but, is he the real thing? Is he Catholic in his beliefs and actions? Or is he the mouse in the cookie jar? Can a Catholic be pro-choice? No. Can a Catholic vote for abortion? No. Can a Catholic use contraception? No. Can a Catholic dissent from Church doctrine and defy the magisterium by embracing heresy and dissent? No. These things are evil and Catholics cannot cooperate with evil.

How many so-called Catholics will embrace the most pro-abortion, pro-infanticide candidate in the history of our country? Many. How many real Catholics will mark their ballot for the infanticide candidate? None. A Catholic cannot vote for someone who embraces actions that are intrinsically evil. When both candidates support intrinsic evils, the real Catholic "should vote in such a way as to allow the least harm to innocent human life and dignity." [Moral Principles for Catholic Voters, Kansas Catholic Conference]

The Democratic party has, for the most part, disenfranchised real Catholics. Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd, Ted Kennedy, and other pro-abortion Catholic democrats show exactly how malformed their consciences are whenever they open their mouths. A real Catholic votes for them to the peril of their souls.

A well-formed Catholic conscience recognizes that the life issues take precedence over every other issue in an election. When candidates are wrong about those issues, it doesn't matter how right they are on anything else. Their embrace of the gravest evil of our time, the murder of the innocent, disqualifies them from consideration.

The only way one can vote for an anti-life candidate, as the Kansas bishops say in their document, is to minimize to the degree possible the harm toward the innocent.

Be a real Catholic: inform your conscience, not according to the ear tickling world, but according to the Church. Jesus Himself said that not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord," will enter into the kingdom, but only "those who hear the word of God and keep it." You can be sure - there are no rodents in heaven.
