Clearly it would be nice to belong to an organisation in which you can talk about funding chastity as well as contraception. In the main parties you never get to talk about such things and there are rare opportunities to talk about abortion. Clearly the party is about using the elections to pur forward Catholic Social Teaching into politics and using the benefits of a General Election to put these into every home. This I beleive is a very good and positive idea. I disagree with you on the LifeLeague approach. We have been arguing `nicely` for 40 years but it is only when the `grim` reality of abortiohn is accepted that there can be change. "I do not want to know so please do not show me" is the main tactic of abortionists. In British politica the `first past the post only` system stifles true debate and there is only 3 choices for the electorate so the chance of a seat being won by Resurgence is almost impossible - though there could be a miracle. Resurgence could also be a great benefit to the Church in that it will raise the issues our bishops will not raise and inform catholics on issues in which our bishops do not want them to be informed. On tax issues and revenue issues, poltitical relationships, Europe, foreign policy, they will have to decide these issues if they do indeed win seats which is unlikely. But it is a party worth having.John Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074138642860577242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32774679.post-35240071923507977102009-08-21T12:02:50.356+01:002009-08-21T12:02:50.356+01:00Any Catholic party would need to be neither Left n...Any Catholic party would need to be neither Left not Right but pursue only an exclusivly Catholic agenda. That means it could not be in anyway linked or sympathetic to anykind of patriotism, nationalism, lefebvrism, Monarchism or anti-immigration platform. <br /><br />It would also mean not being exclusively focused on support from the white middle classesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
