McCain At Guadalupe

THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: To make it clear, 'The Catholic Knight' does not endorse any political candidate in the running anymore. That being said, this is interesting news which I believe is worth reporting...

(The Trail) - Paying homage to one of the holiest sites for Mexican Roman Catholics, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) visited the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe this morning along with his wife and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Presidential candidate John McCain would do well to take a lesson from Our Lady of Guadalupe, who's devotion brought to an end the slaughter of human sacrifices among the Mexican natives.

John McCain claims a pro-life voting record, and that would be true to a certain extent. However, John McCain is also a big supporter of embryonic stem-cell research, which is essentially the worst kind of abortion. In this procedure, human embryos (unborn babies) are cloned and "harvested" for their stem-cells. They are essentially created for the sole purpose of killing - conceived to die. John McCain supports this, but to be fair, Barack Hussein Obama supports it too, and much much more. Obama supports abortion on demand, even to the ninth month of pregnancy.
