Democrat Joe Biden became the second Catholic elected president Nov. 3, outpolling Donald Trump by calling for national unity and determination to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
Distinctly Catholic: At last night's debate, the candidates resisted the temptation to get into a tit-for-tat shouting match. But anyone who is going to beat Trump has to demonstrate some toughness and a bare knuckles debate might have given some insight there.
Distinctly Catholic: Democratic voters, who will be making up their minds in January, are looking for a leader, someone with the confidence and the smarts to take on Trump.
Your thoughts: After publishing letters to the editor on the impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump, another editorial was published calling on our nation to uphold our principles.
Distinctly Catholic: The biggest winner of last night's debate was the Democratic Party as a whole: Almost all the candidates delivered their best performances to date, they were in command of the issues and the contrast with the incumbent president was as stark as it could be.
We say: Investigations will continue but are unlikely to result in impeachment. There remains the opportunity presented by the 2020 elections. Yet even that is foreboding, as Mueller noted during his testimony that Trump will be eligible to be indicted after he leaves office.
