A Catholic politician sees the light!

Democrat Committewoman, Jo Ann Nardelli, recently resigned from her political party due to her Catholic beliefs. Jo Ann Nardelli isn't just a regular old run-of-the-mill democrat, quite the contrary, she has a long and extensive history. She's the president and founder of the Blair County Federation of Democrat Women as well as being the Vice President of the Pennsylvannia Women's Caucus. She's met with Hillary Clinton in the past and has even given Vice President Joe Biden a rosary.

According to the article: 

Nardelli has always been a pro-life Democrat and felt that there was always room for that position in the party. But she said that for the past few years she's felt that the party was drifting further and further away from her. She said she never shied away from speaking about her Catholic faith or her pro-life views as a Democrat.

She said that for years she hoped that she could change the party from within, make it more in line with traditional values. "I thought I could make a difference to change our party. It didn’t work," she said. "I noticed it that it’s been going more and more to the left. This is not my father’s party. I did not leave the party, the party left me."

...She said it started a few weeks ago, ironically as she and her husband were getting ready for Mass and watching Meet the Press when Joe Biden, a Catholic, cited his support for gay marriage.

This shocked her. She said she'd always related to Biden. She said he reminded her of her father. But this announcement shocked her. And then, shortly after, President Obama announced that he'd "evolved" into supporting gay "marriage."

And then as a Democratic committeewoman she received her agenda from the party espousing the same position. "To stand up and agree and sign off on this I couldn’t do it," she said. "So I talked to our priest."

Without a doubt, this is a truly brave and couragous woman. Pray for her and her future endeavors and that she may, in her own way, shine the light of Christ and Truth in other people's lives.
