CV NEWS FEED // The National Catholic Reporter this week published an article from a Boston College professor making the case for Catholics to vote for the Democratic Harris-Walz ticket as the “most Catholic” political option.
Thomas H. Groome, an Irish theologian and professor in theology and religious education at the Jesuit-run Boston College, wrote in the op-ed published by the Reporter that he accepts “the pro-life teaching of my church,” but “some 80% of Americans favor allowing abortion, at least in certain circumstances.”
“Even as I embrace the position of being pro-life, I must respect the moral discernment of those who are pro-choice,” Groome argued. “[Until] a majority agrees, I cannot insist on my minority view as if it is the will of the people.”
Groome is a critic of the Catholic Church’s stance on clerical celibacy and a champion of women’s ordination.
