Fort Nights of freedom for white Catholic Men - aka Knights of Columbus with Bishops support, are out generally telling everyone in the church that the Democratic Party is the Party of Death & no matter whatever else the Democrats stand up for:  the poor, middle class fair wages, anti-racism, anti-sexism, better social programs for all including universal health care & Medicare & Medicaid, Government funding for college & day care expenses, pro-environmental initiatives.  They have even published books with the title "The Democratic Party is the Party of Death!" & then warn no Catholic should ever vote democrat -Bishops & Catholic Press' have supported this book.  Bishops have turned away thousands of dollars given to the poor by Democratic Politicians (& not replaced the funds to the poor with their own money) because the democrat was not for illegalizing abortion even though they agreed abortion is sin & wrong.
  
  The truth hurts?!
