St. Louis Archbishop Warns Voting for "Pro-Choice" Politicians: A Grave Sin Requiring Confession

ST. LOUIS, June 28, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke said Thursday to KMOX Radio: "We always have to remember that it's objectively wrong to vote for a pro-choice politician. People could be in ignorance of how serious this is. But once they understand and know this and then willingly do it, vote for a pro-choice candidate, then they need to confess that."

A similar statement was made last month by Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs.
