http://www.catholicdemocrats.org/about/ en Copyright 2008 Sat, 14 Oct 2006 13:16:39 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Catholic Democrats is a national organization of concerned Catholics, based in Boston. We present the weekly scriptures on this page because our organization is grounded in the Gospels, and faithful to the social teachings of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. We have brought together people across the country who share an aversion to the current abuses of US military power, the exploitation of social issues to advance the economic interests of a few, and the misuse of our Catholic faith for political gain. Some have asked why the group is focused on Catholic issues and spirituality, as opposed to broader Christian themes. Because conservatives have increasingly used Catholic language and Catholic congregations to advance their economic agenda and political interests, we have felt a special obligation as Catholics to enunciate the reasons why we think many of the current conservative stances are so antithetical to the Catholic ethos--on poverty, on war, on racial strife, and perhaps especially on abortion and other social issues. We welcome any critique of our website, or any reflections on particular issues that you care to put into writing for posting on the site. We welcome new members to our meetings in cities across the country. We can be reached at: Catholic Democrats PO Box 290331 Boston, MA 02129 To join our newsletter mailing-list, click here.
