Being Catholic myself (Maronite to be precise), I thought it only natural to make a post about the Catholic vote in this crucial election.

First, some helpful links:

-Faithful Citizenship is a project by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which has also put out the document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.

-The Political Responsibility Center is a project by Priests for Life that has a number of helpful resources related to the Catholic vote in this election.

-One of the Center's important pages links to statements by Catholic Bishops on this election.

-And, of course, a voter guide that summarizes the positions of Barack Obama and John McCain on issues of particular importance to Catholics.

Then, some columns - this is by no means a comprehensive list of all the relevant articles out there, but they are ones I have read and consider important to read:

A Catholic Case Against Barack Obama (Patrick Buchanan, Human Events)

Quo Vadis, Catholic Vote? (Jeffery Kuhner, Washington Times)

Can a Catholic Vote for Obama (Jack Cashill, WorldNetDaily)

A Plea to Catholic Obama Supporters, Part I (Robert Stackpole, Catholic Online)

The Case Against Barack Obama (Deal Hudson, InsideCatholic)

Finally, some videos:

Catholic Vote 2008

BornAliveTruth.org Gianna Ad

America's Choice 2008

And finally, a radio ad by Bishop Gracida about why Catholics cannot in good conscience vote for Obama.

I hope my fellow Catholics make the right choice, both for America and for their own souls.
