Hugh Hewitt posted this on TownHall today. It is absolutely incredible.
It is not overtly partisan, but it leaves no doubt that if you are Catholic, there is really only one choice for President.
I’m not Catholic but this video makes me proud to be a conservative, patriotic American. Kudos to all my Cathlic friends; you should be very proud of your faith!
If nothing else, watch it for the marvelous soundtrack.

Holy Crap. I Practically Cried Watching That
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:43PM EST (link)Hire Grassroots films now. McCain has some good ads, but he needs more stirring ads. That music is eerily good. Too long for TV, but its a good to share via email and web. I just sent to K-Lo. I’d love to see it on The Corner.
Man, I have to go to church Sunday.
But then again, it proabably doesn't count

That video was epic.....and I agree with Swamp Yankee..

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Time for the Church to step up.
29Victor (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 3:38AM EST (link)And I sure hope they do.
This is a wonderful video.
Not only is it just totally awesome in its own right, but (and I realize that it’s not produced by the Catholic Church itself) it goes hand in hand with what some American Bishops have been saying about how many American Catholics have “sold out” on the life issue because of other political considerations and that it’s time for some priority reevaluation.
How Biden and Kennedy are still receiving communion I will never understand.
I have noticed a real sea change this year in that regard
bk (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 7:28AM EST (link)In the past it seemed that the abortion issue only got lip service and that it seemed the only thing that mattered was immigration. It was as if unlimited abortions were acceptable as long as there were unlimited immigrations allowed.
This year it is TOTALLY different. I don’t know whether Pope Benedict has told everyone to be much more up-front on this issue or what, but Catholic cardinals and bishops are much more prominent this year, and we hear it to some extent at mass as well.
I think that Benedict's cracking down.
Moe Lane (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 7:47AM EST (link)I mean no disrespect towards John Paul II when I say that he let the American Church drift on this; the burdens of his office, his advanced age, and the literal wounds that he suffered from his stewardship have to be considered. I think that our current Pope is quite ready to remind the American Church that there’s a hierarchy for a reason, and that there’s an easy solution for anybody who doesn’t want to submit to it{*}.
Oddly, this is the bad Catholic saying all that.

{*}And that, to wantonly butcher SM Stirling’s words, the Roman Catholic Church is old, and has seen fads before.

My (combined) wish list.
I've been wondering the same myself.
Uma Richie (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 8:10AM EST (link)This is the first time I’ve seen abortion given prominence as an issue in all the “faithful citizenship” bulletin inserts, diocesan newspaper columns, etc. Historically it has been one of many issues that we were encouraged to examine in our voting decisions.
My guess is that Pope Benedict recalibrated the US bishops during his visit.
Catholic Vote
hogiewan Wednesday, September 24th at 8:25AM EST (link)4 years ago, George W Bush won the election with 62 million votes nationwide.
How many Catholics are there in the US?
almost 77 million
What if every Catholic in this country went to the polls November 4 and voted their conscious?
A few of those are under 18 I suspect ;-)
bk (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 8:44AM EST (link)But your point is valid.
I wonder how long before some of these fine Catholics like Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, Dodd, Rangel, Durbin, Leahy, etc. say that we need to start looking at the tax-exempt status of Catholic churches.
I know you meant no disrespect,
Uma Richie (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 8:47AM EST (link)but Pope John Paul II was instrumental in bringing an end to Communism, and that is enough for me. Perhaps, life issues will be the hallmark of Pope Benedict’s papacy.
I don’t want to overstate the comparison, but on mere mortal (not religious) terms, when Sen McCain selected Gov Palin as his running mate — a relatively young, exciting, game changer from Alaska — I couldn’t help recalling the election of a young, energetic, outdoorsy Polish pope back in 1978.

olsmithie (Diary) Wednesday, September 24th at 11:28AM EST (link)McCain should hire these people to produce his ads, AND advise on policy.
How many fannies sit in church or synagogue every week and still go out and vote for a Bill Clinton?!
Your actions speak so loud, I can not hear what you are saying!
I’m afraid there are many “plastic” Christians that get there batteries charged on Sunday morning, but never put their money where mouth is.
Sad state of affairs.
Having always been told “not to discuss religion or politics,” I would respond “Somebody had better start.”

ILLINOIS_CONSERV (Diary) Friday, September 26th at 9:11AM EST (link)along to my entire (catholic) family. It is very powerful. I am very happy McCain has chosen Palin as VP. The Dems are going crazy over this pick saying she has no experience..blah blah. However, what she does have is a solid moral compass and, to me, that is a lot more important than having spent 21 years in a radical militant church and a long history of associating with felons, radicals, and CEO’s of failed banks which is the resume of one BHO.

How can a Catholic vote Democratic?
tankertodd (Diary) Friday, September 26th at 9:12AM EST (link)As a (lousy) Catholic myself, I don’t get how a Catholic can possibly vote for the pro-abortion party. The only thing more perplexing is how Jews can so overwhelmingly vote for the anti-Israeli/soft on Terror Democrat party.
The life issue is table stakes to be a Catholic. How Biden and Pelosi haven’t been excommunicated yet is also beyond me. You want an October Surprise? How about that one?

Accotding to the Catholic faith Biden and Pelosi should have been excommunicated long ago and probably many other gov liberals.
Thank you for posting the video.

A baby born alive through abortion tells her story, 31 years later
Laura (Diary) Saturday, September 27th at 5:10PM EST (link)Gianna Jessen’s mother attempted to abort her in California in 1977. She survived, by God’s grace, and lives to tell about it! If you haven’t already taken 16 minutes out to hear her story, as she told it in Australia just this month, I highly recommend that you do:
Gianna Jessen’s story, part 1
`
Gianna Jessen’s story, part 2
`
Her story needs to be heard! Obama’s positions against the lives of the unborn and the lives of those born through abortion need to be exposed! An indy friend just yesterday told me that she had never heard about this aspect of Obama’s history.
I blogged on this a week or two ago at RedState…feel free to read more and find more links here.
