Catholic Response to the 2026 Midterms (Without the Doom)

November 5, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

Democrats swept the House and Senate, and voters in Virginia and Nevada put abortion into their state constitutions. If you're a Catholic who woke up Wednesday feeling discouraged, this one's for you. I don't usually talk politics, but in this episode I break down what actually happened and why, what the results mean for the pro-life movement, why Catholics don't belong to any political party, and five reasons for real hope that go deeper than "just pray about it."

Our Lady, Patroness of the United States, pray for us.

Scripture referenced: Psalm 146, 1 Timothy 2.
