"Here's what bishops, priests, deacons, and men in women in religious orders, are allowed to do in elections: pray and educate. Here's what they're not allowed to do: endorse. That goes for both parties. As the Pope says, the church is meant to form consciences, not replace them.
A reminder when a politician is called "pro life":
Pro life means reverencing not just the unborn child, but the Black person whose life is endangered, the inmate on death row, the starving homeless person, the migrant family.
Pro life means pro all lives, not pro some lives"
James Martin, SJ
