Virginia infanticide's Catholic support

(1/1)

Moss:
In Virginia, the infanticide legislation was sponsored by Delegate Kathy Tran, and vocally supported by many Democrats, including Governor Northam.  Tran has not publicly listed a religious affiliation, and Northam reportedly (and ironically) "attends a Baptist church with a largely black congregation."

Several lawmakers in Virginia who identify as Catholic gave vocal support to the infanticide legislation.  Only one, however, actually voted in support of the measure when given the opportunity.  Not only does Delegate Michael P. Mullin list himself as a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish in Newport News, Va., he also claims membership in the Knights of Columbus and its Walter Pollard Council #5480.

Bishop Knestout has the authority -- and duty -- to excommunicate Delegate Michael P. Mullin for voting in support of the infanticide bill. The pastor of Mullin's parish and the Knights of Columbus may also wish to be vocal and specific about the lawmaker who claims membership in their organizations.

The Pope seems to be more about politics than theology.
