During Wednesday night’s (last night) debate between President Obama and Governor Romney, only Governor Mitt Romney acknowledged God as our Creator and promoted four Catholic themes by promising to:
†
- Protect life
- Care for the poor
- Defend religious freedom and
- Stop the growth of an immoral debt
Governor Romney’s promise to protect these themes infers a promise to practice the Catholic principles of human dignity and subsidiarity (The principle of subsidiarity is defined as: A community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order.)
President Obama was silent on God and silent on Catholic themes in the debate.
