Donna Brazile : As a Catholic mother, I cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump .

Brazile says he has sold himself as a champion for the unborn, but his so-called anti-abortion position falls apart after about five seconds of scrutiny.

She says his policies that separated children from their parents at the border and hate speech that vilifies those seeking refuge are in direct contradiction with core Catholic teachings.

Julian Zelizer : I'm disappointed she didn't attend the Alfred E. Smith Dinner , a bipartisan tradition in New York .

He says she missed a prime moment to show she “gets” Catholics beyond stereotypes.

Zelizer calls for leaders who embody the principles our faith calls us to care for the lives we see as precious.

Her focus on environmental issues aligns nicely with Pope Francis ’ call to care for our common home.

And on immigration, she’s been firm about providing humane policies and a pathway to citizenship.

Just, next time, maybe put the ’90s sketch comedy down and pick up a real connection with the Catholic crowd.
