Conservative U.S. Catholics Feel Left out of the Pope’s Embrace
posted on November 11, 2013Laurie Goodstein of The New York Times writes about conservative Catholics in the United States who feel abandoned by Pope Francis. Bridget Kurt, a hospice community educator and one such Catholic, said, “It seems he’s focusing on bringing back the left that’s fallen away, but what about the conservatives? Even when it was discouraging working in pro-life, you always felt like Mother Teresa was on your side and the popes were encouraging you. Now I feel kind of thrown under the bus.”
