None of us are experts

Let's face facts, none of us are experts here. You believe that Kerry is your man, I believe that President Bush is mine. The thing is that we both are trying to follow the church's teachings in the way that we think is best. I am an optimist, and I believe that the President is a good man, doing the best he can. I do not believe he is a liar. I am not a niave person, in fact during the Viet Nam War, I saw many of these same arguments. I don't trust Kerry, because of his 20 yr voting record that is a fact, is a public record. You choose to believe him anyway. I use the Government agencies, and Catholic doctrine, factcheck.org for material that I believe is more unbiased. I try to stay away from news agencies because most of their items are opinion. In fact there is an article in the Catholic Spirit newspaper this week that states opinons of a mulititude of Bishops and lay people about the Razinger memo. It is opinion only. I requested that we perhaps come to agreement as to what is reliable fact and what is opinion , gossip and innuendo, and we can't seem to do that. I ask again, what do you think constitutes opinion vs fact? I think we can have a better discussion if we do that.

Cry of the Poor

"How can it be that even today there are still people dying of hunger? Condemned to illiteracy? Lacking the most basic medical care? Without a roof over their heads? . . .

"Christians must learn to make their act of faith in Christ by discerning His voice in the cry for help that rises from this world of poverty."
-- Pope John Paul II
Novo Millennio Ineunte, no. 50
