What about a politician confronted with this choice: vote for pro-abortion Bill X in exchange for the pasage of anti- war Bill Y? Maybe politics is so depraved that no one can preserve their souls while engaging in it? Maybe Kmiec should just not vote and protect his soul?

Maybe Kmiec should just not vote and protect his soul?

Politics is sausage-making - at best - and the best any of us can hope to do is make a choice that we feel produces as little evil as possible. As a pro-life independent myself, this is a calculus I have had to perform as well. Or, how about all those who have endorsed or voted for the current Administration’s torture regime?

Prof. Kmiec's arguements in support of Obama are strained at best, but certainly fall well short of knowingly colluding with evil, and if the Church is going to be consistent, they would be denying the sacrament of communion to a great many more people.
