Catholic Democrats

They’ve issued their own statement of belief and faith. In one way, I’m glad that someone has stood up to the far right Catholics who now dominate political discourse and misrepresent the views of most lay Catholics. In another way, I’m sorry it has come to this. It is not a good sign when politicians feel the need to stress their religious and sectarian loyalties. But this kind of polarization is what the religious right has accomplished; and I’m glad that finally some of us are fighting back and exposing them. (Hat tip: Chuck Currie).
