Were a Democratic POTUS ever so brazen to tap the CEO of Planned Parenthood as their Chief, one would expect US Catholicism (and beyond) to be up in arms… If you're not seeing the same tonite, it's just the latest instance of MAGA-sterium's dissent from "The Splendor of Truth."

Lest anybody forgot – or, more likely, never knew – St JPII's Veritatis Splendor (long the Right's ear-tickle par excellence) stacked "deportation" alongside "homicide, genocide, abortion" as "intrinsece malum"... "acts always seriously wrong by reason of their object."

I just love this image of Mary and Joseph, tenderly holding hands. From St. Christopher's Catholic Church, Rocky River, Ohio.
