How Should a Christian Vote

 I was reading the American Thinker today when I noticed a very interesting post by Kevin Finn entitled, I'm not a Democrat, I'm a Catholic. Well, first he means he's a Roman Catholic, for we Lutherans are "catholic" as well as other denominations that subscribe to the Apostles and Nicaean creeds. But the Roman church has the most well-developed ideas on how a Christian should vote of which I can think.

As a Catholic (and a sinner in need of redemption and God’s mercy), I can’t support the things that Democrats support. I think cutting off an unborn child’s arms and legs, crushing her skull, sucking out her brains, and then selling her organs for profit is evil. I think chemically sterilizing middle school kids and surgically mutilating their genitals sounds like a plan from the pits of Hell. I think it’s wicked to put graphic pornography in K–12 school classrooms in order to teach underage kids the finer points of rape and incest.

I think it was pure evil to open up the borders and allow millions of unvetted, unvaccinated people to enter. That crowd included uncounted numbers of MS-13; Tren de Aragua; and single, military-aged men from countries hostile to the U.S. I have nothing but revulsion and loathing for Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Hussein Obama, and whoever else was running the country during the last “administration” to cavalierly disregard the 300,000 children who went missing during their tenure. Tom Homan has told us that many of those kids were sold into prostitution and slave labor, although he and his team have managed to rescue roughly half of them so far.

When you put it like that, and that is exactly how it is, a vote for a Democrat candidate is a vote for these evil things. You become, in lawyer talk, an accessory to a crime. You are therefore just as guilty as the one who committed the crime.

The author asked a friend and a Catholic how he justified his vote for Democrats. His friend's reply was "Trump's worse." But is he?

I know! Trump got Glen Simpson and Fusion GPS to fabricate a phony manuscript that falsely implicated Biden of inappropriate ties with Vladmir Putin. Then he fed that document to the media, and used the resulting news stories to justify lying to a federal judge to obtain permission to surveil Biden’s campaign headquarters. Then he used the “Two-Step” rule to expand that surveillance to many of Biden’s staffers. And then he fabricated other crimes and arrested many Biden associates and, with a complicit media establishment, subjected those associates to trials in Trump-friendly courtrooms.

Oops! Sorry! That wasn’t Trump, was it? No, that was Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their party.

You see, Donald Trump and a few conservative members of Congress and some Republican governors want to put an end to all of that. To a leftist, that makes Republicans worse than Democrats.

You can read what Catholic moral theology teaches about how to discern what candidate to vote for. Unfortunately, as Paul said, each of us has fallen short of the glory of God, and all men need God's grace. But the defiance of His law, not through human weakness, but to cynically get votes, says that Pelosi, Biden and others are following the Devil's path, and Christians should not vote for them or people like them.
