10. Unfortunately...

Catholics (and people of other faiths) are United States citizens, and as such they have just as much of a right to participate in the political process as you or I do.


Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan told Roman Catholics...they needed to make their voices heard more clearly in the political sphere.

Speaking at a diocesan convocation on public policy here, Cardinal Dolan, who is the archbishop of New York and president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said, “We are called to be very active, very informed and very involved in politics.”


Dolan didn't say the Catholc Church needs to be more politically active, he said Catholics need to be more politically active. Big difference.
