Why are Catholics Attacking the Most Pro-Family President?

Americans are on the verge of benefiting from perhaps the most pro-family legislation in the nation's history. And the Catholic Church is nowhere to be seen. The church has been a major political force behind the creation of America's social safety net, from supporting the establishment of Social Security, Medicare and anti-poverty programs, to advocating for immigration and civil rights reforms. Today, parents -- poor, working- and middle-class, and even the "barely rich" -- are being crushed by the skyrocketing costs of raising, housing and educating their kids, while also shouldering the financial and personal costs of caring for aging parents. But for the first time in a generation, they have a shot at getting some relief. President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" package would provide major assistance for child care, paid and family leave, health care and long-term care for seniors, a pathway out of the shadows for millions of immigrant families, and measures to move millions of children out of poverty.
