As news of President Trump’s positive COVID-19 test spread, prayers began flowing for his recovery and for the recovery of First Lady Melania Trump.

Here is my confession: I am a real Catholic, and I am not going to vote for Donald J. Trump.

We are not contradicting Catholic doctrine in looking, with Pope Francis, to the full range of issues affected by our vote.

Our vote is but one expression of this all-encompassing commitment to the common good and the project of building up solidarity.

Trump has accepted an invitation to return to the dinner for the first time in four years. Organizers said they anticipate his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, will attend as well.

This nomination battle will be as contentious as any in history because it is the final payoff of the gamble large parts of the pro-life movement made in supporting Mr. Trump.
