Please delete the prior two comments I sent over … there were coding errors in them.

We are Roman Catholics that are endorsing Mike Huckabee for President. There are others on this Catholics for Huckabee blogroll:

And here are three posts addressing Catholics that have gone against Mike Huckabee:

I am Roman Catholic and I fully support Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is more “Catholic” than most of our fellow Catholics. Did you hear his answer to the marriage question Thurs night? It was excellent! He needs to come and give that mini-sermon at our Catholic parishes. If only our priests would give more “to the point” homilies on the sanctity of marriage. I would vote for Huckabee before I would vote for most of the bishops.

Tax-hike-Mike is a phony if ever I saw one. Ron Paul is the only candidate going up against the corporate machine and the enemies of US sovereignty. In a totatitarian regime pushing for life will be a moot point, as our freedom and personal liberties will be stripped away. Ron Paul the quiet, modest, christian is pro-life and is also the last hope for this country. Turn off your TV, look up the good doctor Paul on the internet. As an ob/gyn he brought 4000 babies into the world!

There sure are a lot of comments that do not sound very Catholic. Huckabee is pro life, pro family, supports the fair tax. Not bad for a candidate that a Catholic could consider. He is a contender because of his personality and quick wit in the public forum. If, in addition to the above attributes, he has a rational position on defense and terrorism, he will be a formidible candidate.

Joseph may have some points but he will need to look at the alternatives and find the ‘best fit’. To succeed in politics being a politician would be necessary. Any other expectation would be realistic. However it would be imprudent to react against that fact and vote in something less Christian.

I am a Catholic and agree with Henry. There is a need to have priorities.

Finally, even if D Black is correct and Huckabee believed I was heading for hell it wouldn’t change anything. I want him as an elected representative not as a buddy.

I’d rather vote for someone who is (hopefully) mistaken about my destiny rather than one who contributes to a society that kills kids and undermines civilization. Such a society would also experience collateral damage. It would be harder for many to find eternal salvation as a result of submersion in an anti-Christian environment. Am I expected to ignore all that for the sake of my ego?

Huckabee wants Catholic support even though he thinks Catholics are going to hell. Interesting.

The two most important human rights issues are to try and protect the life of the unborn and to protect the traditional family. The Catholic Church has spoken clearly on these issues.The killing of innocent human life and the effort to promote same-sex unions as marriage are direct attacks on the basic foundation of society, the traditional marriage of one man and one woman that can lead to children. Mike Huckabee, on these two most important issues, has a proven track record that is better than any candidate from any party.
As a Catholic, who can see over my own self interest, I am supporting Huckabee. We all need to. Send him a donation so that the message can get out.

I am a practicing Catholic and will be voting for Mike Huckabee. Back in November 2006, Pope Benedict XVI issued a plan to help Catholic voters with the decision-making process. Pope Benedict’s three-point agenda is pro-life, pro-family, and school-choice. Not only is Mike Huckabee the only candidate that encompasses all three points, but he also wants to help the poor and middle class. He is clearly the “most Catholic” presidential candidate.
