Dave Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 (edited) I'm not saying I haven't been guilty of this before, but I think we need to change our attitudes about Kerry. No, I don't mean we should vote for him. What I'm saying is that in my conversations with others on here, the point has been raised that people are treating Kerry like he's less than human, whereas instead we should pray for him. True, he's pro-abortion. True, he supports gay marriage. True, it would be sinful to vote for him. But we should pray for him; we shouldn't act like he's Satan incarnate and beyond all help. Heck, we may have driven away a fellow PMer, as evidenced by his post a little while ago: Courtesy of M.SIGGA: Actually I think this is a sign. I'm breaking from Pm for awhile because I really really can't stand this sort of stuff. i'll check back after the election and maybe this website will return to it's mission of evangelism and a cool place for Catholic folks and not some sort of angry biased political machine. even Open Mic isn't safe anymore. I'm out for a few mos. Peace in Christ. P. S. from Dave: Our Lady of Fatima said that so many people go to hell because they have no one to pray for them. Hopefully none of us want to see Kerry or anyone else go to hell. So pray!!!!! Moderators, I think this should be pinned.

That role is specifically taken by Hilary Clinton. J/K - but I do think she is a lot more scary. The more I think about him, the more I feel sorry for him, just like Gov McGreevey. Imagine how empty their lives must be without the bedrock of faith and grace that comes through intimacy with God and the Sacraments. He is truly a man to be pitied and prayed for.

theculturewarrior Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I agree, Dave. I'm glad you posted this. Every social group has it's bigots. For some it's race. For others it's ideology. I've been on the receiving end too many times to villify Kerry, or Democrats, or liberals. We are the Body of Christ. Let [i]them[/i] unjustly villify us.
