Although Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, who attends St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Richmond, Va., has described himself as a Catholic who is pro-choice and pro-gay marriage, his stance on both issues violate the teachings of the Catholic Church. On abortion, this is clearly explained in St. Pope John Paul’s 1995 encyclical letter Evangelium Vitae and in Pope Benedict XVI’s letter on Catholics in political life. On Sept. 16, Kaine told National Public Radio, “I really basically support the holding of Roe v. Wade, which says, especially early in pregnancy, women get to make this decision on their own. Government can’t burden that choice.”
The actual position of the Catholic Church is that any law legalizing the killing of an unborn child is an unjust law that violates the natural law and is, therefore, no law at all. Candidate Tim Kaine’s church teaches that it is not acceptable even to obey such laws let alone support them as part of a political campaign......To Read More.....
My Take - So then - doesn't that make Kaine a heretic? Why hasn't he been excommunicated by the Church, along with Nancy Pelosi....and the Kenndy's for that matter. Another question comes to mind is this:
"the position of the Catholic Church is that any law legalizing the killing of an unborn child is an unjust law that violates the natural law and is, therefore, no law at all [and the] church teaches that it is not acceptable even to obey such laws let alone support them as part of a political campaign"Therefore how can anyone be a member of the Democratic Party and not be a heretic?
