WASHINGTON, D.C. (Inside Catholic) - Joseph Cao, pro-life Catholic, former Jesuit scholastic, has won the 2nd Congressional Seat in Louisiana, defeating long-time Democratic encumbent, William Jefferson.
I wrote about Cao in my 11/19/08 Window, "The Jesuits Produce a Great Political Candidate." He will bring a breath of fresh air to this town:
"I read a lot of Dostoevsky who wrote works of literature but really was addressing philosophical questions." His favorite is Brothers Karamazov with its story of the "good man [Alexei] who lives a conflicted existence but holds on to his goodness."
Cao joins another pro-life Catholic, Tom Rooney, profiled on InsideCatholic.com who won his election to the House of Representatives from the 16th Congressional District of Florida.
