Cardinal Timothy Dolan sez Dems Abandon Catholics
[Townhall] New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal Thursday with the title "The Democrats Abandon Catholics." The archbishop of New York made the case that due to the Democratic party’s position on issues like abortion and education for low-income communities, "the party that once embraced Catholics now slams the door on us."

Cardinal Dolan reflected that the "dignity and sanctity of human life, the importance of Catholic schools, the defense of a baby’s civil rights‐were, and still are, widely embraced by Catholics. This often led Catholics to become loyal Democrats. I remember my own grandmother whispering to me, "We Catholics don’t trust those Republicans."

He says this is "no longer the case," and that is "a cause of sadness to many Catholics, me included."

"The needs of poor and middle-class children in Catholic schools, and the right to life of the baby in the womb‐largely have been rejected by the party of our youth," he said.
