The following statement was released by CatholicVote.org:
Newly released comments by Donald Trump leaked from an audio recording in 2005 are disgusting and simply indefensible. In the recording, he brags about sexually assaulting women. Christians should not waste their breath defending them. The mere fact that this conversation is occurring in the context of a presidential campaign impoverishes us all.
“While CatholicVote.org has not endorsed Donald Trump, we have publicly defended his proposals on school choice and parental leave, his pledges on judicial nominations, and his recent commitment to defend and protect religious liberty. We have likewise called attention to the enormous threats posed by Hillary Clintons policies if she were to become president, while criticizing the cowardice and scandal of Tim Kaines exploitation of Catholicism. Our goal has been simple: secure as much good as possible from a terribly difficult presidential contest among two extraordinarily flawed candidates.
“Catholic voters rightly will be unnerved by these developments. In our opinion, the viability of Donald Trumps candidacy is now in question. Furthermore, the good many hoped to achieve, in spite of Trumps many well-known flaws, is also now in doubt. If Donald Trump is unwilling to step aside, the Republican National Committee must act soon out of basic decency and self-preservation.”
My reply:
Please remove me from further mailings. Your last email was reprehensible. Hillary’s immorality dwarfs Trumps and you have not called for her to step aside. I am urging all my contacts to unsubscribe.
As a Catholic, I lost all respect for the church spokespeople, my support for trump in these dark hours has only grown.
Thanks for sharing- that is a difficult choice to make as a Christian and commend you for your honesty.
Is that another Pro-infanticide Catholic-in-name-only cabal?
