Bishop Zubik of the Diocese of Pittsburgh issued a post-election statement. Here is an excerpt:
“It has been a distinctly difficult and at times a very harsh campaign. We cannot put aside our serious commitment to the critical issues of our day, particularly the sacredness and dignity of human life, the sacredness and dignity of the family, and especially the preservation of religious freedom. We must commit ourselves to reasoned, faithful dialogue on the issues that divide us, and seek out that which unites us.”
