Is it, we keep being asked, possible for a Catholic to vote for any of the parties on offer in this forthcoming election?  A reader rang this morning to alert us to an article in the Telegraph, which reports the Liberal Democrats’ thoroughly illiberal policy on Catholic schools.

Elsewhere, the media are speculating about whether religious beliefs will make any difference to the election outcome. Will Christians, the BBC asks, swing the UK vote? Read the BBC commentary and then tell us what you think.   And, if you were a betting man/gal, what would you put your money on – and don’t say a hung parliament because it would be impossible to hide all those bodies…

A reader emailed the following message a couple of days ago:

I had a discussion yesterday about the forthcoming General Election this year.  That got me thinking and doing some research.  I found the draft manifesto of the Christian Party to be very interesting, especially the comments on homeschooling and life issues.  What do you think?

Well?  What do YOU think?  To help you formulate your thoughts, I’ve copied the introductory article from a previous thread – at the time of the European Elections in 2009.

“Judgment Day is on its way. We cannot stop it. We don’t know when it will come, but just as surely as the sun rises daily, the Son of Man will come when we least expect.

Judgment Day is on its way. For many, this coming election may very well be judgment day, for this election will measure us. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us in 10:32-33: “Everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My heavenly Father. But whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.

Judgment Day is on its way. When my time comes, I will be measured by my Savior for the decisions I have made. I will either be acknowledged by Jesus or denied by Him in the presence of our heavenly Father. The question I need to ask myself is this: What kind of witness will I give to Him when I go into the voting booth this election day?” Click here to read more

“…you cannot vote for a politician who is pro-abortion when you have a choice and remain a Catholic in good standing. For some Catholics this is a hard teaching, but I am simply repeating church teaching: “Human life is sacred because from the beginning it involves the creative action of God (Gospel of Life, par. 53)…the direct and voluntary killing of an innocent human being (abortion and euthanasia) is always gravely immoral (Gospel of Life, par. 57, 65)…protecting the mother’s health does not justify the deliberate killing of an innocent human being (Gospel of Life, par. 58).” Click here to read more

Well?  What DO you think?  Who, if anyone, can we vote for at the next General Election which is just around the corner.  Does the Christian Party look good to you – or what?  More to the point, which Party will you feel right about, at your Judgment?
