I really debated writing this post. I hate to give a dissenter like Kmiec any more attention, but when I see someone intentionally distorting Catholic teaching and deliberately trying to lead others astray, it is clear that we Catholics must respond. I have two points to make: 1. Catholics CANNOT support pro-abort politicians! Kmiec is an Obama hack trying to state otherwise. What he is really trying to do is lead others astray, which leads me to point 2. It is bad enough that Pelosi regularly distorts Catholic teaching. The Pope was 100% correct to admonish her. Who are you, Doug, to correct the Pope? Please go to confession Doug...and bring Pelosi with you.
And Kmiec wants to be Ambassador to the Holy See? ROFLOL!
Professor Douglas Kmiec, the scholar who provided a justification for allowing Catholics to vote for Barack Obama, despite the president's consistent pro-abortion track record, wrote last week on Time Magazine's website that Pope Benedict XVI's words to Nancy Pelosi were "intrusive" in legal matters, because they put the whole judicial system in an impossible moral dilemma.
In his piece Prof. Kmiec implied that the Pope exaggerated or at least did not measure the consequences of his words when he told Nancy Pelosi that "jurists," in addition to legislators, must work "in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."
From the Catechism:
2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:
You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.
God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.
From the Bible:
whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6

You need to post about this...as you demonstrate Douglas "Reagan Justice Department" Kmiec is an even bigger moron than San Francisco Nancy!!!
The fact he colluded to get 54% of Roman Catholics to vote for the most extreme, anti culture of life candidate in the history of the republic is beyond the pale!!!
Oddly, he must be delusional because he had been postulating himself in order to be the new Amb to the Holy See???
Challenging and correcting the Pope publically, he is now off the deep end!
He is a vile man and in light of the Petrine celebration yesterday he is in total denigration towards the Bishop of Rome!
He has no shame, no decency, no honor, no class...
He is crude and revolting!
Very well said Carlos..I couldn't agree more!
