Knights of Columbus Head Says Catholics Cannot Vote for Abortion Advocates
posted on August 3, 2016At Religion News Service, David Gibson writes that Carl Anderson, the powerful lay Catholic leader of the Knights of Columbus, said that Catholics should not vote for any politician who supports abortion, calling it the most important political issue in a speech Tuesday. Many Catholic leaders have started to support candidates based on their stances on the “non-negotiables”—abortion and gay rights. Gibson writes, “The role of abortion rights in politics has long been a flashpoint for Catholic leaders and Catholic politicians.”
