No matter how much I read about "social justice" and other important issues facing Catholic voters, I keep coming back to "Just Look" from the Archdiocese of New York. No excerpts, because there's a picture you have to see.

I'd really like someone to explain to me why high-profile abortion advocates are not being excommunicated. People like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.

And looking at it the other way: they obviously disagree with this very basic doctrine of their church, so why do they still call themselves Catholic?
