Americans of all religious traditions are becoming interested in the backlash of Catholic bishops against the “unnamed Presidential candidate who supports abortion”. Guess which candidate this is.

Barack Obama.

Catholic Archbishop of Denver Charles Chaput described Barack Obama as the “most committed” abortion-rights candidate from a major party in 35 years. Archbishop Chaput also stated that Catholic groups supporting Obama were doing a “disservice to the church.” The Bishop of Fort Worth Kevin Vann, Texas and the Bishop of Dallas Kevin Farrell issued a joint statement instructing the faithful that Catholic moral teaching obliges Catholic Christians to not vote for a pro-abortion candidate.

Other bishops are across America are also warning the faithful that a vote for Obama is a vote for the culture of death.

Raymond Arroyo of EWTN’s “The World Over” appeared on Fox News last week explaining this phenomenon. Arroyo predicts that in the weeks to come, certain states could shift away from Barack Obama by the great numbers of Catholic reevaluating their consciences with regard to the issue of abortion in this election.
