CWN – August 10, 2012
Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore has told Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review Online that Catholics should not vote for candidates who support intrinsic evils.

If that’s the case, a Catholic, regardless of his party affiliation, shouldn’t be voting for such a person.”

Then I suppose I cannot vote for any candidate who favors the separation of church and state. That will whittle down the list real quick. But I can always write in folks like John Vennari and Michael Matt.
