As per a 7/16/24 email from the Pillar,
Trump...selected as his running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance....
Vance is a Catholic, having entered the full communion of the Church in 2019....
Vance said directly that he supports legal accessibility for mifepristone, an abortifacient pharmaceutical responsible for more than half the abortions in the U.S....
As it stands, the first (and only, to date) bishop to speak disapprovingly in a public way of Vance’s remarks on mifepristone is Bishop Joseph Strickland....
The GOP platform...seems to... deemphasize principled opposition to abortion, and...has dropped a man-woman definition of marriage....
We Christians care about issues like marriage and abortion not because we want to “conserve” something superficial, but because we want people to have better experiences than did their parents or their grandparents — we want for them the richness of experience rooted in being made in the image of a Triune God.
We want a stronger, more cohesive, more supportive and more meaningful society than the anemic “paradise” of sexual revolution and suburban atomization, because we know that we’re made for something more than that....
Supporting human dignity means something more than putting up a flag for the cause of the month.
On June 12, 2024, Republican senators issued a statement in support of morally repugnant IVF.
