  It's about time we Catholics, on the Right and on the Left, trust each other to discern, to rigorously inform our consciences, and to love our Church family. Enough with the Litmus Tests for determining "authentic" Catholics. Imagine how silly--VERY silly--it sounds: "You're more/less a good Catholic because of whom you vote for or how you plan your family or how you are intimate."    
  
  Why at Mass yesterday did I see in the parking lot cars with Hillary stickers and cars with Trump stickers, with the drivers ALL going to Mass and Communion? Celebrate it; don't lament it. Nobody was in schism, I assure you.
