text: To this point since the election I have unable to find, nor has anyone in this discussion to this point been able to cite, a single instance of a priest or bishop endorsing or supporting one candidate over the other.
  
  What appears to have rubbed some folks’ fur the wrong way is that they were presented a hierarchy of Catholic teachings with abortion at the top, the platforms of the parties, the positions of the candidates, and told to vote as Catholics.
  
  If your favored candidate’s position, and that of his or her party, led Catholics to vote for the other candidate, the solution is to lobby that party to change its platform and select candidates more compatible to a Catholic voter.
