Catholic Democrats Catholic Democrats [1] is a national non-profit organization of concerned Catholics, based in Boston. The organization was founded in 2004 as an outgrowth of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' “Call to Faithful Citizenship,” [2] which in the House issued a letter charging the pope with,
among other things, violating their religious freedom. They added,
"Advancing respect for life and for the dignity of every human
being is, as our church has taught us, our own life's
mission." Once you have managed to convince yourself that abortion
advances respect for life, and that religious leaders who set conditions
for the rites of their church are violating religious freedom, we

than the pope.
