In direct opposition to what both the Vatican has said and what the USCCB has said, some liberal lay Catholics are urging Catholics to vote Democrat because they claim that the Democratic Party reflects Church teaching on social justice more faithfully than the Republican Party. This is the sheerest nonsense. No one would deny the right to life to the smallest and weakest members of society—the unborn—can claim that he or she is promoting social justice. Catholics who are willing to vote for pro-abortion candidates because they like their views on other issues simply are not giving the abortion issue enough weight. They have, in fact, decided that protecting the lives of the unborn isn’t worth the cost of “giving up” the rest of their liberal agenda. For this reason, they are the worst of hypocrites.

Instead of making excuses for the Democratic Party’s support for abortion, liberal Catholics should try to end that support by withholding their votes from the party until it changes it platform. If enough people did that, the party might just change its position. But until and unless these so-called Catholics do what they can to change their own party, they have no right to lecture other Catholics about social justice.
