ZENIT Interview of Catholic Report's Dave Hartline

You can read ZENIT's interview of Catholic author and blogger (and my fellow Ohioan) Dave Hartline of Catholic Report here. Here's an excerpt that pertains to Catholic voters:

Q: One chapter of your book focuses on the Catholic vote. What are your thoughts about the Catholic vote and the upcoming U.S. presidential election?

Hartline: This question is a microcosm of the whole turning-tide phenomena. Many faithful Catholics were angered by politicians who spoke about the importance of their Catholic faith, only to denounce or ignore the teachings of the faith.

However, as more Catholic prelates have taken a courageous stance in defending the Church, it has inspired not only more clergy to the same, but lay people as well. There is still a long way to go in this effort, but at least the battle has been joined.
