Wanted: Pro-Life Democrats
Topics: Political News and commentariesLate last month, 55 Catholic Democrats from the House of Representatives released what they termed a "historic" Catholic Statement of Principles. In substance the statement seeks to reconcile the support for abortion embraced by the Democratic Party with Catholic social teaching and a "consistent moral framework for life."
However, regardless of the Dems' imaginative stretch, there's no such thing as a "polytheistic wing of Islam or a seal-clubbing wing of Greenpeace," just as there is absolutely no such thing as "a pro-abortion wing of the Catholic Church." Certain non-negotiable moral standards define Catholicism just as surely as doctrinal beliefs do. Everyone advocates a big tent, "but it can stretch only so far until it rips asunder."
Father Thomas Williams says at NRO: "Enough of this "big tent" Catholicism from the party with little room for pro-lifers.""
