ROME — Former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, Callista Gingrich, has published a scathing essay denouncing Harris Waltz's record of “radical” anti-Catholic policies.
Gingrich said Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's personal records at the state and federal level “should be alarming to Catholic voters.” I declareand together they “build an anti-Catholic ticket that carries out policies that are destructive to Catholics and all Americans.”
Among other egregious anti-Catholic acts, Harris is also a “proud” co-sponsor of the Reproduction FACT Act, which requires pro-life pregnancy centers to post signs advertising abortion availability in California. there were.
As a U.S. senator, Harris sponsored legislation targeting the freedom of Catholics to practice their religious beliefs and sought to eliminate religious exemptions from certain government orders that Catholics deem immoral. Gingrich observes.
Harris also co-sponsored the Equality Act. “This would allow the government to prosecute faith-based organizations that refuse to hire employees who openly oppose their religious teachings,” Gingrich added.
While serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Harris “demonstrated gross bias” by suggesting that a Catholic judicial nominee's membership in the Knights of Columbus was grounds for disqualification.
In light of all this and more, Brian Birch, chairman of Catholic Vote, said: “Kamala Harris represents the most despicable anti-Catholic threat of any potential presidential candidate in American history. She is a far-left candidate.”
Meanwhile, Gingrich points out that Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has also been heavily criticized for his extreme policies that attack Catholic social education.
Gingrich said Walz has “significantly expanded access to abortion” in Minnesota, which has some of the most pro-abortion laws in the country, and has pushed for abortion to the point where Nancy Pelosi told him to “rescind abortion.” He even joked that he was in favor of it. notch. “
Walz seeks to make Minnesota a “sanctuary state” for transgender people seeking medical treatment, staunchly opposes school choice policies, and claims that menstrual products must be available in men's restrooms. Rich declares.
Mr. Harris and Mr. Walz are desperately trying to gain support from Catholics with less than a month until the presidential election, but Mr. Gingrich said President Trump appears to have an advantage with Catholics nationwide. is writing.
Catholics for Trump is a coalition committed to supporting President Trump and “his mission to protect religious freedom and defend family values,” according to a recent Pew Research Center opinion poll. Gingrich noted that the poll found that “52 percent of Catholic voters” support President Trump.
Catholics make up nearly a quarter of the electorate in Pennsylvania and Nevada, and about a fifth of the electorate in Michigan and Arizona. “This momentum of Catholic support rallying around Trump is particularly important in light of this,” she observes. .
