Christian Voting Apps Offer Election Guidance

While some registered voters remain undecided, either impeded by Mitt Romney's Mormon faith or President Barack Obama's troubling social policies, one coalition of Catholic clergy is hoping its free phone app will help Christians decide how to vote based on the issues come November.

The Confraternity of Catholic Clergy has made available for Android, Windows and iPhone devices what it says is the first free non-partisan voting guide for Catholics. Its Catholic Voting Guide by Little i Apps LLC was created to help users "cast a responsible vote using a well-formed conscience based on Catholic moral principles."

"With Election Day soon approaching, it is imperative that the lay faithful take their right to vote seriously. Living in a democratic republic has many blessings, rights and privileges that are essentially connected to civic duties and obligations," said CCC President Fr. John Trigilio, Jr. "Making a prudent decision in the voting booth requires a well formed conscience and a reasonable knowledge of the issues at stake."

I do not think a Christian will not understand to vote for Obama is not a choice.The only possibility for a Christian would be Romney, and I am not sure of that, to me that is where the problem lies.

  Hi Evermrytle! A word of courage in this perplexing time: If you are a Christian, when you die you will go to heaven… there is no other place you can go. Even if it were a sin to vote for a Mormon, or to vote for Obama, God forgives us our sins. I don't think it is a sin to vote for either!
  
  Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
  
  Substitute vote for eat and I think the same principle applies: "whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
  
  The great sin we christians need to repent of is our lack of zeal and repentance.
  
  Revelation 3
  14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
  15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
  16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
  17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
  18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
  19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
  20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
  21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
  22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    That is true but to deliberately sin is very bad even though HE will forgive us, for that if we ask, but I do strive i n all I do and all I say not to sin against HIM I never say "I know this is a sin, but because I know HE will forgive me, I will do it anyway!"" No, no no, never., Once you start down that road you may not be able to stop and you may get to the place where you will not be forgiven, because you do not care enough to even try. We must realize that GOD is no fool, he can read our hearts even better that we can read the newspaper. In your scriptures JESUS is condemning the the church but is telling them they had best change their ways. HE is not approving them. WE MUST strive to overcome our evil nature not feed it, with I know this is sarong but…..

      Wouldn't not resisting Obama be considered a sin since we do have a choice. Maybe the choice is picking the lesser of the two evils. Personally I do not believe that Romney is as bad as so many are depicting him to be and he is surely a great deal better than what we have now. If we go third party or neglect to vote as has been stated here many times, we are in reality casting a vote for Obama. In our political culture that is what truthfully happens if we do so. I want to start the country on a different road and right now that road is through Romney.
