There's lots of things that are wrong that aren't in the Bible. The Bible is 2000 years old, and does not explicitly prohibit all the new sins human beings keep inventing. Like cloning, artificial insemination, and genetic engineering of human beings.You can be the Pope's cheerleader if you want.If I was opposed to the death penalty, not a single man or woman would be executed while I was governor. That's called principled action.
If I was opposed to abortion, I would sign every bill on my desk to impede it, and make it less common. That's called principled action.
Catholics are called to principled action, to live their faith, not only on Sunday, but every day of the week.
Tim Kaine is a man who thinks he can take one position "personally" as a Catholic, and then do the opposite.
We already have too much of this kind of unprincipled politician in Washington, we don't need more of it.
Catholics should unite against this man, because he makes us all look bad. We don't need this kind of Catholic, in our Church, in our government, or anywhere.
As a Jesuit however I fear that I must disagree.
The Bible says if you murder you should die. I guess the Pope does not like that part.
The Bible is silent about abortion. If Jewish girls were doing it then it did not reach the ears of Moses or Jesus.
