NBP: U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate, frequently references his Roman Catholic faith as a driving force in his career. A closer look, however, reveals a politician who has at times chosen the Democratic Party line over the teachings of the Church, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
The Boston Globe reported that the Harvard Law graduate and former civil rights attorney his passion for social justice developed during his year spent working with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Honduras. But although his advocacy for Virginia’s underserved communities no doubt echoes the Church’s mission, his other political stances are less in sync with Catholic doctrine.
Kaine stated that he is personally morally opposed to abortion, and as Virginia governor authorized the sale of “Choose Life” license plates to fund religious counseling clinics that discouraged abortion and backed Virginia’s “informed consent” law, which requires women seeking the procedure to undergo medically unnecessary ultrasounds, according to the Washington Post.
Yet, Kaine has a 100 percent rating from Planned Parenthood, and has publicly affirmed his support for Roe v. Wade decision, the 1973 Suprme Court decision that guaranteed the legal right to an abortion through the ninth month of pregnancy. more
He must be a member of the same wing of the Catholic Church as Nancy Pelosi.
Another evil POS going straight to hell for using Christianity to further his political career and the destruction of civilized society.
Worked with the Jesuits in Honduras? That’s the problem, right there! Jesuits are not Catholic, no matter how often or how hard they try to pretend.
Looking at the hands and the face, is he mocking a disabled reporter?
Sold his soul to the devil to team up with the she devil. Tragic.
If you are a Catholic and a Democrat you should be excommunicated.
“Tim Kaine’s Catholic morality at odds with some public actions”
Sounds like an endorsement from Nancy Pelosi.
Just name one time morality stopped a liberal. One; anyone? Hello?
Catholic, shmacolic. Even Joe Crapped-his-pants Biden claims to be a Catholic.
Both of them are 100% goofballs. Is someone dropping drugs in the Holy Communion ?
If you are a principled Catholic, you are not a D.
Years ago a letter to the Editor in his local newspaper called out Joe Biden for the hypocrite that he is, when he claimed to be a good Catholic who believes in the right to have an abortion.
The writer stated (quite correctly) that being Catholic is NOT like choosing from an a la carte menu. You either believe in ALL Catholic dogma or you’re NOT Catholic.
Feel free to apply this concept to all the supposed Christian politicians out there.
Anonymous – – He’s not mocking the disabled, he’s just doing his Joe Cocker impersonation.
She picked him mainly to attract the “Liberated”, catholic vote. Besides, he looks like he should be featured in the Exorcist.
