This new edition contains additional quotes from Catholic bishops and other churchmen who, along with those quoted in the first edition, declare that a Catholic must vote for the most electable antiabortion candidate - or else risk committing mortal sin. There is no other book that has compiled these strong, authoritative and surprising quotes.
Most Catholics do not know that, according to the many bishops and other churchmen quoted in the book, the severest spiritual consequence - the loss of eternal salvation through mortal sin - may await Catholics who do not vote for the most electable antiabortion candidate in any given election. It is a startling and little-known teaching - but nothing gets (or should get) the attention of most Catholics like the prospect of committing mortal sin.
The first edition received praise from prominent Catholic commentators such as Deal Hudson, John Horvat II and Patrick Coffin. Catholic Voting and Mortal Sin is even more timely today, given the worsening state of doctrinal confusion in the Church.
