Everyone Has to Start Somewhere...

...and so I will start here.

The 2008 Presidential election has come and gone, and history was made by the election of the first black to the Presidency. As an American I could not be happier that this has happened, but this happiness is tempered by the fact that President-elect Barack Obama is the most aggressively pro- abortion candidate since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.

Even more distressing is that fellow Catholics had a hand in handing Obama this victory. Here is an article that does a good job of outlining the work ahead for faithful Catholics,

"If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor; if the Lord does not watch over the city, in vain does the watchman keep vigil."

Chicago's Cardinal Francis George used this verse from the 127th Psalm to begin a statement released last week by the nation's Catholic bishops warning President-elect Barack Obama and a majority Democratic Congress about their abortion policy.
