The entirety of our website, Roman Catholics for Obama, is our comprehensive case for Senator Barack Obama as the best and right candidate for Catholic voters. Many of us have been interested in and impressed by others' cases for Senator Obama... and many of us have taken note of some high-profile endorsements of Obama by individual Catholics. However, the consensus was that we did want clearly to differentiate between what is "of" this site and what is not.

With that in mind -- note that while we agree with the conclusions reached by those who have endorsed Senator Obama, their precise views and arguments are not necessarily our precise views or arguments. For external content, we have decided to adhere to some strict standards and list only what is

1. of or relating to the central authority of the Church and its officials (neutral on the 2008 presidential campaign); OR

2. directly related to the central case of our site -- namely, that we, as Catholics, believe Catholics can and should vote for Barack Obama because his platform aligns well with Catholic Social Teaching and/or because Obama possesses unique qualities of a leader that make him well suited for the office -- each aspect of his candidacy being necessary, but not sufficient:
(a) news articles (not commentary) that examine Senator Obama's views, record or qualities relating to issues deemed relevant; or
(b) commentary whose central theme is the same as ours -- meaning that it is the perspective of a Catholic making the case for Barack Obama based on Catholic-oriented contemplation of the vote.
