The lesser evil: the Catholic vote in U.S.
In the United States are approaching the elections of "mid-term" . an event where even the nearly 70 million U.S. Catholic want to do their part. On the other hand, the close connection between faith and commitment in society was well remembered when Social Week of Italian Catholics which was held in Reggio Calabria. At the heart of the debate also on this occasion there is the issue abortion. And to provide an interesting reflection on the subject is a article published by the American Jesuit journal America signed by Cathleen Kaveny, a teacher at the Notre Dame in Indiana. Beyond the technical issues that fielding (vote for one candidate pro-abortion is material cooperation in evil? What reasons can justify voting for a candidate who supports abortion? And, morally, what is the difference between a pro-abortion vote and pay taxes that are used for war or buying from a store that sells fruit of exploitation of slavery?), It seems to me that a good starting point for our small Italian company is the suggestion that today, in moral judgments, can no longer think of the individual acts (including voting) as isolated as the responsibility is much more entrenched due to globalization and the close interconnection in which we are immersed. In short, we live constantly on the net and that on the one hand provides us with enormous potential, the other prominent position of responsibility there. Even Italian voters should perhaps begin to grasp how in a network that must learn to manage.
