 Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: Voting Catholic in 2024

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - As we cast ballots for the 47th president of the United States and elect people to fill various federal, state, and local positions, it is time once more to remind ourselves just how high the stakes of this election are and what our duties are as Catholic citizens... The results of Tuesday’s elections will impact every level of our society – from legislation, to judges, to the educational system, foreign policy, health care, and so much more.

Here’s Why More Catholics May Vote for Trump, by Mario Enzler, Kevin Mooney

By Mario Enzler, Kevin Mooney, The Daily Signal - Kamala Harris and company are all in with radical, anti-life policies that could unsettle swing voters who might describe themselves as “moderately pro-choice” but hardly pro-abortion... The amorphous terminology built around the concept of personal autonomy has different meanings to different ears. In conversations with family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who are saturated with media reports designed to obscure the brutality of the abortion industry, practicing Catholics are at a perpetual disadvantage.
