Because they were publishing a short, manageable list of NON-NEGOTIABLES, omitting the lesser sins?...I think it is funny that both adultery and divorce were left off the list...I wonder why that is...
ME: This is actually a Catholic Voter's guide, but I am sure that all other Christians can appreciate it too:
Five items that no Catholic can vote in favor of:
1. Abortion: The Church teaches that, regarding a law permitting abortions, it is "never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or to vote for it" (EV 73). Abortion is the intentional and direct killing of an innocent human being, and therefore it is a form of homicide. The unborn child is always an innocent party, and no law may permit the taking of his life. Even when a child is conceived through rape or incest, the fault is not the child's, who should not suffer death for others' sins. Another sub-set issue within this subject area that is non-negotiable pertains to Human Reproductive Technologies, which includes the Church’s position against Contraception, In-Vitro Fertilization and Sterilization.
2. Euthanasia: Often disguised by the name "mercy killing;' euthanasia is also a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person. In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).
3. Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Human embryos are human beings. "Respect for the dignity of the human being excludes all experimental manipulation or exploitation of the human embryo" (CRF 4b). Recent scientific advances show that medical treatments that researchers hope to develop from experimentation on embryonic stem cells can often be developed by using adult stem cells instead. Adult stem cells can be obtained without doing harm to the adults from whom they come. Thus there is no valid medical argument in favor of using embryonic stem cells. And even if there were benefits to be had from such experiments, they would not justify destroying innocent embryonic humans.
4. Human Cloning: "Attempts ... for obtaining a human being without any connection with sexuality through ‘twin fission,’ cloning, or parthenogenesis are to be considered contrary to the moral law, since they are in opposition to the dignity both of human procreation and of the conjugal union" (RHL 1:6). Human cloning also involves abortion because the "rejected" or "unsuccessful" embryonic clones are destroyed, yet each clone is a human being.
5. Homosexual "Marriage": True marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Legal recognition of any other union as "marriage" undermines true marriage, and legal recognition of homosexual unions actually does homosexual persons a disfavor by encouraging them to persist in what is an objectively immoral arrangement. "When legislation in favor of the recognition of homosexual unions is proposed for the first time ina legislative assembly, the Catholic lawmaker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favor of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral" (UHP 10).
True. It's "Original Recipe" rather than do-it-yourself "Extra-Crispy" ...although "Original Recipe" dominates Christianity, worldwide....I don't know where you got this, but it only represents one version of the Christian faith.

How is that connected to the catholic church? They believe that you can confess your sins to another imperfect person behind a screen.
I wonder how Dems will spin this. We were founded as a white Christian country, but liberal Democrats still insist on letting Muslims and other non-Christians into America.
Our Christian heritage is being destroyed and Dems are doing nothing to stop it.

Interesting how the bible said nothing about that one.beats the alternativeLOL "Christian values" and you're a Trump supporter. Says all we need to know about "Christian values".
Lying = All Good
Cheating = All Good
Infidelity = All Good
Sex with porn stars while wife is pregnant with your child = All good
hush payments to porn stars to cover up infidelity = All good
Scamming people out of money with bogus business ventures = All Good
Stiffing Contractors for payments on work performed = All Good
"Christian Values"
nothing is worse then gruesomely murdering a human in its most vulnerable stage of life and that is in the womb
I am pretty sure Trump is the most pro-life president we have ever had. It is pretty shocking that he takes such a radical stand on the subject. I am a moderate Republican that despises that pro-life remains a part of the Republican Party platform. Fighting abortion is a lost cause but I think Trump made sure that it stays at the top of the Republican Party's priorities for at least another 50 years. Maybe it is a strength to our party after all. I always thought we were alienating potential voters over a subject that has already been lost.

I guess the OP thinks that it is in her (his?) power to define the Christian faith.
You forgot more guns and assault weapons preferably with large magazines, so much better for mass shootings.

1.2 billion Roman Catholics worldwide probably see that just a wee bit differently......There is no "original recipe."
