It seems crazy, but it’s true: a few dissident Catholics can claim to be a bona-fide Catholic organization, file the required papers with the IRS, and bingo—they are regarded as a legitimate Catholic entity. The truth is they are a fraud. This has long been true of Catholics for Choice, and it is true today of Catholics Vote Common Good.
This group is currently lobbying for the right of some very distraught people to kill themselves, with the help of doctors, no less. They are connected to Vote Common Good, a nearly bankrupt organization. It was set up with the help of The Lincoln Project, a collection of angry establishment Republicans who hate Donald Trump; it is also moribund.
Catholics Vote Common Good worked with Catholics for Kamala, a group whose nationwide members could fit into an urban phone booth. They are both pro-abortion, pro-gay and lesbian etc. They were heartbroken when Biden’s stand-in got shellacked.
Why would a band of Catholic malcontents want to convince doctors that they should no longer pursue the goal of saving lives? Instead, they say, doctors should hasten the death of those going through a rough patch. This is their idea of social justice. The American Medical Association doesn’t agree—it just restated its objections to doctor-assisted suicide.
The three most prominent persons who represent Catholics Vote Common Good are Kathleen Shriver, Patrick Carolan and Denise Murphy McGraw.
Shriver is the granddaughter of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, mostly known because of her ties to the Kennedy clan. Unlike her grandmother, who was a strong opponent of abortion, Kathleen is not. Otherwise she would never support the Biden-Harris team. Now she is championing doctor-assisted suicide. She rarely seeks the limelight, so it is not known what happened to her.
Carolan is co-chair of Catholics Vote Common Good. His commitment to social justice does not extend to unborn babies, or to those who are so depressed that they are giving up on life. Known for rejecting Church teachings on marriage, the family and sexuality, he has found a home with the eugenicists.
McGraw is the other co-chair. She has no problem accepting money from George Soros, the notorious anti-Catholic, and anti-Jewish, billionaire. During the presidential election season, she said Kamala “understands Catholic social justice teachings.” Too bad she didn’t mention any of them.
Catholics Vote Common Good, along with its parent group, Vote Common Good, says it advocates for “the rights and well-being of vulnerable people most in need of support from our church and our communities.” This is a lie.
Its advocacy for “the rights and well-being of vulnerable people” obviously doesn’t extend to helping those struggling with psychological or physical problems. Unless, of course, helping to put them down is their way of doing them a favor.
These “Catholics” need to show up at a conference held by the handicapped and the disabled and tell them to their face what they have planned for them. They should also tell the parents of young girls who are struggling with severe emotional issues that the time has come to find a doctor who will do the dirty deed. And then call the morgue.
