“I will not vote for president this year,” Monica Brent writes. “I cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump, for many reasons. However, Kamala Harris’s stance on abortion makes her a no-go for me, as well. ”

Pope Francis, your encyclical on the Sacred Heart, “Dilexit Nos,” is beautiful and heartwarming. And for Catholics in the United States, the timing was perfect.

In this episode of “Preach,” Tom Massaro, S.J., joins Ricardo da Silva, S.J. to discuss how preachers can adopt the perspective of the underdog, humbly striving to build bridges between people who come to Church with opposing viewpoints. 

Too often, Catholics expect Pope Francis to reflect their personal or political convictions perfectly, forgetting that he is the head of a global church, not of a political party of any particular country.

While we are going to continue to advocate for the dignity of the unborn, let’s admit Kamala Harris has Catholic cred on other important issues.
