From the article, emphasis added:
"We cannot allow the progress that has been made to be reversed by a pro-abortion president, Senate or House of Representatives," the bishop wrote.
Opposition to abortion "trumps all other issues," he wrote, and gay marriage is "deviancy."
This pisses me off! Quite a lot! How the hell would he know... Nothing, as far as I am aware (and I'm aware and very Catholic) in Catholic teaching states that certain sins are "worse" than others (once you get past the whole "venial vs mortal sin" decision - ie, if its a mortal sin, its a mortal sin).
To put it another way - he's saying a vote for Kerry is a vote for abortion is a sin.
Personally, I find a lot more of the other guy's policies an affront to my faith. THink "love thy neighbour" here.
