The following comes from Bishop Soto’s physician assisted suicide statement and the Diocese of Sacramento website:
In a January 8 letter to the faithful of the Diocese of Sacramento, Bishop Jaime Soto, who is also president of the California Catholic Conference, thanked his co-workers in Christ for their recent efforts to overturn the physician-assisted suicide law (ABx2-15), passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last fall. The bishop encourages Catholics to support other worthwhile initiatives currently in circulation, including those addressing parental notification for abortion and repeal of the death penalty in the state.
Bishop Soto, in reference to parental notification and death penalty initiatives, urged Catholics to study these issues further “with the heart and mind of Christ,” and to join in the statewide efforts to put these initiatives on the November ballot.
He noted that further signature gathering will not be done in the parishes of the diocese. “I made a rare exception for the physician-assisted suicide signature gathering effort. As faithful citizens, let us go out from the parishes into our communities and neighborhoods to ask for support. I encourage all Catholics to get engaged in these worthwhile civic endeavors.”

By allowing the Churches to collect signatures on Church grounds, we bring in more signatures than anywhere else. The Bishop’s rare exception to allow signature gathering on Church property was for the physician-assisted suicide initiative, but he will not allow parishioners to collect signatures on Church property for the parental notification initiative???? Oh yea.
Although restrictions on endorsing Specific Candidates for office are subject to considerable debate, particularly as regards taxation…
And Particularly after the ‘Lois Lerner / IRS’ political targeting scandal, where Politically Un-Good groups and causes were discriminated against – and in some cases (like the ‘Lavender Liberal’ Stalkers in CA after Passing Proposition 8 Man XY – Woman XX Marriage) – had their donor lists supplied to the Gaystapo.
Remember – Lerner took the 5th Amendment to cover her crimes persecuting donors to good causes, and the ObamAcorn DOJ (Disciples of Judas) refuse to follow up if the Rong Culprits might be found out.
Give To the Good Anyway – the AbomiNation needs to Go.
