Obama and CST's Constructive Challenge

In reponse to Greg's post on Obama's Catholic advisory panel, the challenge I would like to launch for our conversation here on Mirror of Justice during this campaign season is that we don't lose sight of the possibilty to be constructive.  I think we have the opportunity to in some way move beyond simply reacting to all of the ways in which neither party is completely in line with CST principles, and certainly beyond simply a negative reaction to NARAL's "scoring" system.  As a group I think we have the capacity to bring a significant contribution to the positive articulation of how CST might inform an approach to political life.  (Some of my own initial thoughts on this project are included in this reflection on Forming Consciences, which acknowledges both the priority of reducing abortions, and the complexity and prudential quality of the decisions which will make that a reality in our current system).
