The Catholics ruined themselves by allying themselves with the GOP over abortion.

It's sad to see priests or cantors asking the congregation to "pray for our political leaders especially those who believe in the life of the unborn". Sad because the politicians that support that also support the death penalty, denying people healthcare, and treating the poor badly.
