NCR Columnist Winters Exposes Democratic Impotence While Ignoring Christ the King’s Social Reign
The National Catholic Reporter portal (August 17, 2026) publishes a column by Michael Sean Winters dissecting the Democratic Party’s electoral failures, attributing them to gerrymandering, primary extremism, and a cultural radicalism alienating the mythical “Pope Francis voters” — socially conservative yet economically liberal. Winters laments the party’s loss of the “art of persuasion,” citing Biden’s hollow Catholic ambivalence on abortion as a lost model. The analysis is a masterclass in naturalistic political calculus, utterly devoid of the supernatural order, proving that the conciliar sect’s intelligentsia has fully capitulated to the City of Man.
