Battle for Religious Voters: Trump's Catholic Surrogates vs. Harris' Silence | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This is the final weekend before the 2024 presidential election, and a writer says that while both campaigns made initial outreach to Catholics, in recent messaging, one candidate has largely ignored the faithful. Writing in the National Catholic Register, Peter Laffin says that Vice President Kamala Harris has largely stopped Catholic outreach and is focusing instead on messaging about Donald Trump's character. The former president, meanwhile, is deploying his best Catholic surrogates to make a direct appeal to the faithful. Laffin writes in part, "In addition to skipping the Al Smith Dinner... Harris and her allies have repeatedly given the appearance of disdain for Catholicism." Staff Writer for the National Catholic Register, Peter Laffin, joins to share what he meant by that and gives us some examples. Laffin tells us more about his comments regarding the former president deploying his best Catholic surrogates. We know the former president supports IVF, which the Catholic Church says is immoral. Laffin discusses whether this has cost him in any way with Catholic or pro-life voters. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
