A nation in darkness seeks a great light. Catholic and other Christian denomination voters can cast us out of this night of lies and moral relativity into the bright sunshine of a new day. We are a people and a nation of light, even when our politicians often seem lost in the dark.
Democrats can’t find the light and so insist this election is more than a choice between competing views of government, instead they claim it’s a vote on which our lives depend. Their dim rhetoric defines them.
Michel Obama said the following in her speech at this summer’s Democrat National Convention, “we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it,” and Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president of Planned Parenthood told NPR, “This is literally a life and death election.”
For voters seeking illumination on their vote, the US Catholic Bishops’ Conference voters’ guide offers insight;
“We believe in life, that there is an immigration problem, and we need a humane solution to it, that the marriage of a man and a woman is the foundation of the family, that our Constitution heralds religious liberty in the First Amendment, and the growing disparity between rich and poor means most of the world’s resources are in the hands of a small percentage of its people. “
