A challenge to the extremist party

In a nice op/ed at NationalReview.com, Fr. Tom Williams responds to the proclamation recently released by some Catholic Democrat Party House Members attempting to defend their allegiance to the abortion-is-okay party. A great line from the piece:

I would like to make a counterproposal. Rather than asking Catholicism to embrace its antithesis, why not forge a true “big tent” Democratic party where all are welcome, even those who are pro-life? Better yet, why not return to that noble strain of politics that prided itself on its defence of the most vulnerable members of society? Why not forego the precious support of abortion power-brokers and rediscover the roots of the Democratic party? No number of “historic” statements could match the impact of a lived commitment to true social justice.
