A good Catholic meddles in politics (and votes in the Midterms) Ep. 81

The nuns are back (on the bus). Headed by Sister Simone Campbell,
the executive director of NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social
Justice, the almost-annual campaign (they’ve traveled six of the
last seven years), is traveling across the country to raise
awareness about the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act and its impact on
social services and local communities.   The nuns stopped at
the Church of the Redeemer in Morristown, N.J., where we caught up
with Sister Simone, S.S.S. and Sister Richelle Friedman, P.B.V.M.,
about what’s wrong with the new tax bill, what’s at stake in the
upcoming midterm elections and why good Catholics should “meddle”
in politics.   This episode of Jesuitical is proudly sponsored
by Catholic Women Preach, celebrating two years sharing the wisdom
and witness of women breaking open the Word. Visit
