There was a poster on earlier today who managed to link abortion to liberals, to the left wing, to the parable of judgement concluding that 'leftists' are condemned because Jesus placed the 'goats' on his left in the parable. The poster happily skipped past Jesus' specifically highlighting the hungry, the thirsty, the foreigner, the naked, the imprisoned and the sick. Catholics needed to do exactly the same - just airbrush them all out - in order to vote for Trump, who ironically attacked these exact same groups of people.

The thing about that particular gospel is that it introduces the concept of 'culpable ignorance' and, my God, there are many culpably ignorant voters in America.

Catholics could have done something very simple to reduce abortions and to fight the AIDS pandemic - support barrier contraception. Instead, the anti-abortionists set themselves against it, vocally supporting JPII and Ratzinger ("condoms increase the chances of getting AIDS"!!) What?!

Culpably ignorant.
