My friend, 2025 is a Catholic moment in our nation’s history.
Just take a look around.
- Priestly and religious vocations are up.
- Record numbers came into the Church this past Easter.
- We have an American Pope… from Chicago!
- My CatholicVote predecessor, Brian Burch, is the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.
- We have a Catholic Vice President, a Catholic Secretary of State, a Catholic White House Press Secretary, and a historic number of Catholics on the Supreme Court and in Congress.
See what I mean about a Catholic moment? We might even elect a Catholic president in 2028.
That can very easily happen. Since 1976, the winner of the Catholic vote has been elected president every time but one. As a voting block, we’re more powerful than most Catholics recognize.
55% of American Catholics voted for Donald Trump in 2024. What have been the results?
- FBI spying on Catholics has been halted (after it was revealed to have occurred on an even broader scale than we knew).
- 37 abortion facilities across the country have shut their doors.
- For the first time in decades, Planned Parenthood has been defunded, putting 144 facilities on the verge of closing across 20 states.
- The FDA is investigating the dangerous drugs used in chemical abortions.
- Our national approach to health now encompasses more comprehensive evaluations of things like vaccines, dyes, and toxins, to the delight of mothers everywhere.
- Men have been banned from women’s sports by body after body, including the Olympics.
- Numerous gender transition providers have shut down, pre-emptively canceled appointments, or ceased practice, including the largest gender clinic in the country in Los Angeles.
- We’re witnessing the retreat of “woke” nonsense that posed a direct attack on our Christian understanding of the human person.
What’s more, all of these accomplishments have been accompanied by a revival of the healthy and noble virtue of patriotism, along with a newfound understanding of the common good that prioritizes the needs of families, children, workers, and communities.
If all of this doesn’t convince Catholics of our vital role in renewing the public square, nothing will.
This Catholic moment is OUR MOMENT. And we need to make the most of it.
Just as grace builds upon nature in the human person, grace builds on the civic order in society.
That’s why the Catholic Church cares about politics and why CatholicVote does the work it does: making space for the Gospel to be heard and preserving a culture in which every Catholic can live out his or her faith in the public square.
