No one should vote for Biden merely because he is a practicing Catholic. We are, after all, flawed human beings. Many, for example, will disagree with Biden's position on abortion. Such disagreement is understandable. But the number of abortions decreased during the Obama administration and have continued their downward trend. While Donald Trump has kept his promise to appoint pro-life judges, voters have a responsibility to consider the candidates in their totality. What happens outside of the womb is equally important as protecting the fetus. As Biden likes to tell audiences, "Don't compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative." The bishops remind us that the core of Catholic teaching is centered on a foundation of love. Our daily witness to follow the Golden Rule is not just a command practiced in church. It is a directive to all who wish to inhabit the public square, and for everyone to bring a spirit of love and compassion to our civic dialogue.
