Guilt by Association

It seems the Democrats in Washington are upset that they're Catholic. I know, it doesn't make any sense to a thinking person, but apparently the Democrats who are members of the Catholic religion feel that they should be in charge of making all decisions for everyone, including the Pope. Hey, at least they're consistent -- they think they should make decisions for you, too.

SAN DIEGO, CA—Catholic Answers Action has denounced the “Statement of Principles” released last week by fifty-five Catholic Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), a group of fifty-five Catholic Democrats in the House signed a statement designed to paper over their dissent from Church teaching on abortion. Signers included House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco.

Jimmy Akin, spokesman for Catholic Answers Action, released the following statement to the press:

“The fifty-five signers of the statement have done American voters a favor by revealing what hypocrites they are. Their statement of ‘principles’ is a transparent attempt to disguise their position, and they’re not fooling anybody. They are putting their politics above their faith.

“The statement says that they ‘work every day to advance respect for life,’ but the signers of the statement have an 80 percent anti-life voting record this term.

In other words, these 55 Democrats want to be called Catholics so they can get the Catholic vote and support, but they don't want to actually follow the rules of BEING a Catholic. Why don't they just leave the religion and form their own? If you don't like the rules of an organization, you DON'T HAVE TO BELONG TO IT (except for unions, of course)!
