Catholic Politician - Stephen Pound

I recently write of the example of Iain Duncan Smith being a great Catholic politician, especially in his work for the poor (not always a given in Tory circles).

It seems another Catholic politician is Stephen Pound, who recently donated funds to help a group of young Catholics make a pilgrimage (read story on Catholic With Attitude blog) to Madrid.

How pleasant to read of a politician helping a Catholic good cause. I know I always seem to be moaning about the state of the Church and suchlike, so never let it be said I don't give credit where it is due.

Is Iain Duncan Smith the Best Example of a Catholic Politician?

Is Iain Duncan Smith the archetypal Catholic politician?

He is pro-life, pro-family (typically "right wing") yet very sincere in his belief that social justice is a good thing and the effects of poverty need tackling (typically "left wing").

I have long found right-wing MPs to be pro-banks and don't care about communities, etc. whereas left-wing MPs seem to be screamingly pro-homosexual, pro-abortion etc.

What is a Catholic to do?

I would like the input of you, patient peruser of my humble blog.

What other politicians fit the Catholic mould? Ann Widdecombe? What about from the "left wing" side? Are there any genuine pro-life Labour MPs?
