Catholic Accountability Project by Catholic Vote
CatholicVote is launching
a big new project.
It’s called
the Catholic Accountability Project.
Its purpose is
simple. It’s time to hold Catholic leaders and institutions accountable.
THINK
ABOUT THIS: Nearly 56% of the Catholics in
the House of Representatives are pro-abortion. Catholics! Over half of
the Catholics in the United States Senate also shamelessly
support lethal violence against unborn children. Hospitals, charities, and
media organizations that hold themselves out as Catholic also often fail to
uphold foundational moral teachings of the Church. And let’s not forget about
the universities…
Faithful Catholics
have a duty to hold these public leaders and institutions accountable. Indeed,
millions of American Catholics have been clamoring for decades for someone to
do something. The integrity of our Church – and all that we profess to believe
– is at stake.
It’s
time to act.
Your CatholicVote
(CV) team is now collecting data on Catholic leaders in public life,
institutions, and elected officials. We will be sharing this data with
Catholics across the country as part of a massive media campaign. We will use
our growing grassroots network, news, and media resources to publish, expose
and hold them accountable.
Today
we are starting with every Catholic in Congress.
Is your
U.S. senator or member of Congress a Catholic? You may be surprised.
So many elected
officials in America call themselves “Catholic” and yet proudly flaunt their
opposition to what the Church teaches and believes. Take Joe Biden. He is happy to remind voters that
he’s only the second “Catholic president” in America’s history. His staff brags
about how “devout” he is, while he claims the pope told him he’s a “good
Catholic.”
Yet the
Catholic president of the United States supports abortion for any reason up to
the moment of birth – paid for by taxpayers. He presided over a same-sex
“wedding.” He holds parents who seek to direct their children's education in
contempt. His administration is punishing Catholic adoption and foster care
groups and other charities that uphold what the Church believes, while his
economic policies are crushing American families.
The Church has an
ancient tradition of the spiritual works of mercy, and we are called to
“admonish the sinner” and “instruct the ignorant.” The Catholic
Accountability Project is about exposing the lies, ending the
confusion, and shining a light on every Catholic leader or institution in
public life.
Every Catholic is
called to faithfully witness to the truths of Jesus Christ and His Church. All
of us! Especially Catholic leaders or representatives of public Catholic
institutions.
We all fail to do
this sometimes, but public officials or institutions who hold Catholic moral
teaching in contempt must be called out publicly.
Every Catholic
deserves to know the truth.
Voters deserve to
know the truth.
Your prayers,
support, and intel will be critical in the days ahead.
