Spare Us O Lord from the Election of Harris and Walz

Catholic clergy often speak as though clear voting guidance were forbidden by the Catechism!  Such a prohibition would have been alien to bishops in Puerto Rico in 1960.  I am quoting from my own 2010 Amazon review of Colonialism, Catholicism, and Contraception:

In 1960, "a group of Catholic laymen organized the Christian Action Party (CAP)....The appeal of the new party was based almost exclusively on its support of religious instruction for public school pupils and its objection to existing legislation on birth control and sterilization.... 

Bishops James P. Davis of San Juan and James E. McManus of Ponce issued a pastoral letter describing the CAP as `the answer to the intolerable attitude' of the island's established political parties.... 

political controversy was heightened when Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York visited Puerto Rico....Spellman was asked to comment on the bishops' involvement with the CAP. Spellman's diplomatic reply was, `I keep out of politics. It is outside my competence and will,' thereby implying that Davis and McManus should do the same. Scarcely a week later, ...[Bishops Davis and McManus] issued a pastoral letter prohibiting Catholics of Puerto Rico from voting for [Governor] Muniz Marin and the PDP.... 

John F. Kennedy, who aspired to be his country's first Catholic president, quickly reacted to the pastoral letter, calling the bishops' action `wholly improper'" (p. 160). 

There are LOTS of woefully ignorant Catholics in 2024 who need concrete guidance (This may be most true of Catholics who fancy themselves to be part of an intelligentsia.).

I would like to appeal to the intercession of Bishop James P. Davis, Bishop James E. McManus, and like minded shepherds who have gone before us  that America be spared from the election of Harris and Walz.
