I'm a person of faith. I was raised Catholic, converted to evangelicalism at age 16. Subsequently went through many and sundry forms of Protestant faiths before becoming agnostic. Then reverted to Catholicism in 2008. As Pope Francis has pointed out, there is more to social justice than being anti-abortion and anti-homosexuality. And if you wonder which one of these principles to put first, side with the poor. I think neither party is Christian, and according to our Constitution should not be, but my conscience grades the Democrats at ..714 in their adherence to Catholic social teaching and the Republicans at .286. Read these and follow your own conscience to measure for yourself. If you are not a person of faith or of a non-Christian faith you may disregard.
