To the editor:
I have read letters in the Catholic Herald from the bishop and from readers concerning the upcoming elections.
As Catholics we are a diverse group of people. For each of us there are defining principles which guide our choices in the ballot booth. Being Catholic does not mean that those defining principles are the same for each of us.
The bishop touted Paul Ryan as an ideal Catholic politician. For me and many other Catholics, he is not. I resent the implication that to vote Republican is the Catholic thing to do.
We should vote our values. We should vote either for Democrats or Republicans because that person supports our values. There are conscientious, caring people who are Catholic and Democrats who deserve our vote.
