A Roman Catholic bishop has warned his flock that a vote for President Barack Obama could place ‘the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy’ because of ‘intrinsically evil and gravely sinful’ Democratic policies.
In a written message and video posted by the official newspaper of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki singled out the Democratic party position that ‘gay rights are human rights’ and support for gay marriage and abortion as sinful.
His message came as a Pew Research centre poll found that Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, was losing among Catholic voters by 54 to 39 percentage points despite having chosen Representative Paul Ryan, a devout Catholic, as his vice-presidential running mate.
