Author David Carlin is no Republican, nor does he recommend you become one. He's a lifelong Democrat and longtime Democratic legislator anguished by the conflict between his faith and the policies of his party. In recent years, that conflict has grown so great that Carlin is now forced to consider whether, in good conscience, it's even possible to be both a faithful Catholic and a Democratic true believer.
But this book isn't partisan; it's Catholic.
In it, Carlin identifies the fundamental policies that we as Catholics must support, and the ones that we Catholics must never abide -- so that, regardless of our party affiliation, we can prudently work for (and will have the opportunity to vote for) policies consistent with our faith.
Carlin's clear, gracious arguments will help you explain Catholic positions to friends, relatives, and fellow voters, helping you make your party -- whichever one it is -- less hostile to the beliefs of Catholics.
