Tuesday’s Washington Times article (Denver archbishop not among Democrats’ invited clerics) once again focuses attention on a matter of deep concern to pro-life Democrats like myself.  Chaput is one of the most respected leaders of the Catholic Church in America and his record is a strong commitment to social and economic justice and the principles of the Catholic faith. He’s also a strong patriot. Pro-life Democrats who are proud Catholics like myself feel this is an insult to our values.

The party should be aware there are strong pro-life people who are politically successful.
