JOSEPH CARDINAL TOBIN, ARCHBISHOP OF NEWARK, COMMENTS ON THE UPCOMING ELECTION


 


"I think that a person in good conscience could vote for Mr. Biden. I, frankly, in my own way of thinking, have a more difficult time with the other option," Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark, said in response to a question about whether Catholics can vote for former Vice President Joe Biden.

"There are serious reasons not consider either party of being representative of the Catholic tradition," said the cardinal. "The problem is we have to vote. We should vote."

"It shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody, no political party represents fully the Catholic tradition, the Catholic moral tradition," Cardinal Tobin said.

Cardinal Tobin was speaking on a panel, "The Church and Catholic Voters in the 2020 Election," hosted by Boston College, Saint Anselm College, and Trinity College.
