ATLANTA (ChurchMilitant.com) - Tom Perez, a Catholic, and Keith Ellison, a fallen-away Catholic, are the new heads of the Democratic Party.
Perez was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on February 25, defeating Ellison, the expected winner, by a 235–200 vote. After Perez was voted in, however, he immediately named Ellison deputy chair.
Perez's family comes from the Dominican Republic. He attended Canisius High School, a Jesuit school in Buffalo, New York. He maintains that he is still Catholic, telling the Washington Post, "In order to get to heaven, you have to have letters of reference from poor people." He currently resides in the archdiocese of Washington under Cdl. Donald Wuerl, who made clear in 2009 that he would not refuse Holy Communion to Catholic politicians who openly defied Church teaching, saying the Church doesn't use Holy Communion "as a weapon."
In 2007, Perez became secretary of the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, and in 2009 was appointed assistant attorney general (AG) for the Civil Rights Division of the U. S. Department of Justice.
While assistant AG, he bragged about prosecuting pro-lifers under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE). He also authored a report on human trafficking but ignored the part Planned Parenthood has played in it.

Post of the Day!!
There...fixed it.
Both are apostates.
You could count Pelosi and Biden in that crowd as well.
And Murray and Cantwell.
“In order to get to heaven, you have to have letters of reference from poor people.”
Is this what Catholicism teaches? Because it is definitely not scriptural.
Huh? I’ve been a practicing Catholic all my life and never heard of that. Geeez, I better get workin on that letter!
I think you know better than that.
