Jo Ann Nardelli has been a Catholic Democrat her entire life. Her father was one before her. And she couldn’t imagine a day where that wouldn’t be true.
But that day was Wednesday of last week.
I read a story about Jo Ann leaving the Democratic Party and was interested because she cited her Catholic faith as the reason.
So I gave her a call. I got her machine and as I was leaving a message she picked up. She said she’d been screening her calls because so many people have been calling to say nasty things to her or just pleading with her to change her mind. But when I called, saying I was with The National Catholic Register she picked up.
She said she figured I wouldn’t be too mean to her.

Awesome! Great faith, great courage. The Holy Spirit is with us.

I wish her well. If she wishes to be on that side of history, so be it.
Interestingly, I don't know the guy that got Rosa Parks arrested for not giving up her seat. I doubt his family brags about it. The wrong side of history there too.

Faith > history. Every single time.
