The following comes from an April 10 CalWatchdog article by James Poulos:
No fellow Democrat has formally committed to challenging Attorney General Kamala Harris in her Senate quest. But Latino and Southland Democrats have made clear their readiness to support a candidate like Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Ca.
Sanchez has cemented a reputation as one of the California delegation’s better-credentialed members of Congress. Representing the 46th district since 1997, Sanchez rose to become the highest-ranking woman on the Armed Services Committee, and the second-highest-ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee. A member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, her sister, Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., was made chairwoman.
Observers have determined that a formal announcement could come from Sanchez at any time. Her candidacy was set to take shape some time this month. “Multiple congressional sources said Sanchez is laying plans to enter the race after Easter,” Politico reported, “although it’s still possible that the Orange County Democrat won’t enter the hotly contested fight.”
One advantage Sanchez was seen to hold over Harris involved her place on the political spectrum. “Despite being seen as drawing more moderate votes away from Harris and being a member of the Blue Dog Coalition – a congressional caucus for Democrats who identify themselves as being conservative – Sanchez’s voting record has not deviated far from that of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,” Breitbart observed. Regardless of Republican feelings on that kind of positioning, it promised to offer Sanchez an opportunity to run to the right of Harris while staying confident that her liberal bona fides could not be called into question.
From a January 19 Spero News article by Stephanie Block:
Sanchez is – and has been since she began her political career– an aggressive supporter of legalized abortion. Among many other things, she voted for the Federal Health Plan Contraceptive Coverage Amendment in 1998; against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 1999 (and again in 2004); against a bill to Prohibit Partial-Birth/Late Term Abortion in 2003; and against a 2011 bill Prohibiting Use of Federal Funds For Planned Parenthood.
Why do the bishops and cardinals keep doing smiley face with baby killer politicians?
Why do bishops keep doing smiley face with SPLC hate groups like Family “Research” Council ?
I think you’re a little confused. Don’t you mean the Southern Poverty Law Center who inspired a shooter to commit a crime against the FRC?
POOR CALIFORNIA! IS THERE NO END TO THESE KIND OF ‘CANDIDATES’ WHO SEEM TO ALWAYS GET INTO OFFICE, DUE TO THE PRO-ABORT DEMOCRATS, COME HECK OR HIGH WATER!!!
So where is the Diocese Bishop – it is his job to teach, correct, and if necessary discipline heretical Catholic politicians.
So where is the Diocese Bishop – it is his job to encourage all literate Catholics to read Sacred Scripture (a Catholic Bible) at home.
So where is the Diocese Bishop – it is his job to encourage all literate Catholics to read the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” second edition at home.
(Both are published in many languages including Spanish.)
This is so they may know and therefore live the Faith – including in their voting practices.
Bishop Vann obviously has more important things to do, like getting more money for the cathedral, than to instruct errant politicians like Sanchez (her sister would have to be instructed by Archbishop Gomez).
Canon 915 would, of course, be appropriate for both sisters, but not from this bishop and archbishop (and so many, many others) – after all, they have to plan for next year’s Religious Education Congress.
We must pray very hard or we will get an entrenched anti-Catholic, anti-life liberal like Sanchez in power. Once she becomes a Senator, she will continue to do damage to the values of faithful Pro Life Christians in our state and nation. She has no love for the unborn child. It would be most tragic to replace the hardcore Barbara Boxer with another woman like Sanchez who will do her best to ensure that the unborn children of our nation are ignored, annihilated, and trampled upon. I say no to Sanchez.
Write or call the CA Bishops and ask them to do their jobs – regarding teaching about Voting against those who support INTRINSIC evils.

What is the point of this article? Sanchez and Kamala Harris are both to the Satan-side of Catholic teaching and Tradition on a host of issues. No CA Cathoic can vote for either of them.
Wait, wait — don’t they like children (that is, the ones that miracously survived to be born) and dogs and sunsets and are nice people (unless you are among the pre-born)!! Don’t the CA Bishops say that you can “count” all these things? Huh? Huh? (Margaret Keane picture here, with tears,)
Yes, Little Altar Girl, that is what the Bishops in California usually say — go ahead and vote for abortionist-loving candidates everywhere (as long as they are nice to homosexual couples, too). In fact, be sure, as you grow up, that you are always welcoming to sodomites. Like the new moral leader of the Synod, Cardinal Daneels, also be sure to tell any of your friends being molested by Catholic clergy not to complain: it is their duty to cooperate with the needs of homosexual priests and bishops. We are so lucky to be living in The Golden State, and to have such Living Doctors of the Church, like Cardinals Daneels and Dolan (homosexual sex is peachy); Cardinal Kasper (adultery is dandy); Cardianl Wuerl (anyone is welcome to “come on down” to communion); and Fr. Barron (Big Party for Everyone when you die), to guide us. (Happy, smiling face, with very big eyes here.)
A video example of what Our Lady of Akita was referring to when she talked about compromises. Anyone who understands the Catholic faith realizes that this event was a great betrayal to God and a great scandal to the faithful in Orange County, California.
Please watch the entire video where you see pro-abort Loretta Sanchez deceitfully campaigning for herself at an Orange County, Ca. Catholic parish, St. Callistus. Auxiliary Bishop Dominic Luong can be seen sitting at the table also smiling in support. The wall or the buddy system or clique that Father Dariusz Oko spoke about makes this type of betrayal not only possible but obviously acceptable to even an auxiliary bishop.
As retired Cardinal-Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith– the second- highest position in the Catholic Church, after the Pope– well, what was Cardinal Levada doing, with this immoral, “bad Catholic” lady politician?? Was he EVANGELIZING her?? Just like sending a little letter of EXCOMMUNICATION to Rep. Nancy Pelosi– which he DIDN’T do– as Archbishop of San Francisco! They ALL need to go back to first grade Catechism class!!
The ‘rules’ (bendable & breakable by the politically correct) say that Non Profits (like Churches) can endorse Issues – but Not Candidates who stand for them. I say this is garbage – and denying the latter Violates the First Amendment:

Pro-lifer says new GOP candidate is ‘true believer’
https://onenewsnow.com/pro-life/2015/04/15/pro-lifer-says-new-gop-candidate-is-true-believer?
A pro-life leader says the latest GOP candidate to throw his hat into the ring for president, Marco Rubio, has been one of her favorites for a while now.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, says it began for her a couple of years ago when the Florida senator spoke at their annual gala. She says she had never heard a better pro-life speech.
“He is a true believer and the life issue is one issue that really propelled him into politics,” she says. “You can tell when life is a part of the DNA of a person and when they have recently acquired it and trying to get used to it. He’s a true believer.”
She hopes that the young Republican will now begin to take a pro-life leadership role in the Senate.
“To be perfectly honest, there haven’t been a whole lot of opportunities to lead in the Senate yet because it was controlled by Harry Reid,” she tells OneNewsNow. “Now we’re in a whole new day where there are many opportunities to lead. I have no doubt that he will.”
Mac and many others have suggested the following over the years: Do not support, write in favor of, or donate money to any Party or Candidate that supports the intrinsic evils of: abortion, euthanasia, homosexual marriage, contraception, and embryonic stem cell research. In California, that is hard to do. The state is very liberal, for the most part, at least in the large population centers. We have about 17 members of the House who are Republican, out of @56. It would be interesting to research if all of them would meet the above criteria. I admit I haven’t done the research myself. Party platforms are always to the extremes. You get nominated by the base of the party and get elected from the center. Very few politicians run on the party platform, and most haven’t even read it. So, if I can’t vote for anyone who doesn’t meet the above criteria, for whom do I vote? I think the Church teaches that we can’t vote for a candidate because s/he supports an intrinsic evil, but must then choose a lesser of the two evils. That is how so many pro-abortion etc. candidates get elected with large Catholic blocks of votes. Catholics don’t vote for candidates because they are pro-abortion etc., but because on closer look they are deemed the lesser of the two evils. I find voting is getting more difficult each time it comes around.
Bob One, Party Platforms are GOALS, not extremes. They are voted on with points approved or disapproved by Party Members at the Conventions.
Public statements, public writings, and public voting records are key.
And it is the Catholic Voter’s responsibility to check out each candidate prior to voting.
(This is not difficult using reliable sources on the internet. Both the House and Senate post their votes.)
If you read the “VOTERS GUIDE for SERIOUS CATHOLICS” which has been posted by many you will find what to do ” WHEN THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE “.

ABORTION – intentional TORTURE and KILLING of approx. 1 MILLION innocent human beings in the USA each year, and Euthanasia are the greatest of evils today.
They are in the category of INTRINSIC EVILS that can never be approved.
There is nothing proportionate in the USA.
Any Catholic who believes that ABORTION and Euthanasia are lessor of evils to anything else needs teaching by his/her Priest and Bishop – who has done a lousy job to date.
Both Abortion and Euthanasia are clearly covered in the CCC for those who need further info.
