It’s not uncommon to hear voters lament their decision not to vote for the lesser of two evils. Now, one of the leading experts on the evils of the Catholic Church says it’s not an issue to worry about.
Father Chad Lipperger, philosopher, theologian, and the Catholic Church’s most experienced exorcist, says believers have a “duty” to vote for the lesser of two evils, but that’s not the same as “voting for evil.”
“And people will say, ‘Yeah, but now we have, for example, candidates who aren’t perfect,'” Lipperger said recently. said Hosts Jesse Romero and Terry Barber of Virgin Most Powerful Radio (VMPR). “One has something that’s actually very evil, and the other has something that’s just as evil, but not as bad,” etc…
“This has been debated repeatedly throughout the history of the Church. Pope John Paul II actually spoke about it. So the basic principle is that in situations like this, it is your duty to vote for the lesser of two evils.”
“The reason is, well, when it’s the lesser of two evils, people say, ‘Well, you’re voting for evil.’ No, you’re not actually voting for evil. When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you’re not voting for the evil of a person or the evil of a thing. You’re voting to protect a good that would be lost if the other candidate wins, or if a more evil person wins, or if actually worse bills are passed, or for whatever reason.”
So when you’re torn between two candidates, you’re not voting for the evil that a flawed but morally superior candidate would do; you’re voting for the good that they would do. Otherwise, that good would be lost if the morally inferior candidate won.
Now Father Ripper has taken away all your excuses not to vote.
