Considering the sort of far-left wacko Liberal Democrats around here who never met a late-term abortion they wouldn’t fund, who nonetheless draw the vast majority of the Catholic vote simply because they have a “D” next to their name.....I don’t have a problem voting for Trump.

The way I see it, Trump is more “Catholic” than the current Pope.

Utter nonsense! “All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics” -Pope St. Pius V

“Are you kidding me? He supports Planned Parenthood – bottom line…. Anybody that supports Planned Parenthood, then, it’s not about human life…. He’s not a pro-lifer if he supports Planned Parenthood.” -Elaine Riddick

I’ve actually used Trump floor wax. Made with actual Trump oil harvested from Trump here in America, it will imbue a lustrous orange patina to your aged hardwood floors.

He handled it well...

I wasn't aware that the Vatican had asked Trump for our protection.

Why should any Catholic vote for a guy who comepares going to Holy Communion as eating some cracker as well as ridicule confession ?

Have as many wives as Henry de IIIV, boast about his maritial infidelitys,and even jokingly suggest insest. Worst of all show any comprenension as to that the current strategy ammounts to a war on traditional values fostered by Christians. Because they oppose the Godless movement.

A tradition that stands in opposition to the Godless (remember their 2012 convention) democrat (in name only but in reality socialist) party ?

As far as the Pope goes
CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES
DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY MEDIA MACHINATIONS
The pope was responding to an accusation loaded question by a reporter from Reuters news agency and actually did not believe those accusations. So the pope never mentioned Trumps name in his lengthy reply. expressed here in abstract; In his reply the pope used the term One, to generalize his example and began with; If actually one said and Pope Francis continued with : One does, one did, one believes : such and such ..

It was meant to be a generalized position applied to anyone who has those views when answering the questions that were presented to him .Yet the US media turned this statement : Those that only focus on building walls and not bridges are not Christian. into: Those who build walls not bridges like Trump are not Christian. Amazed they did not set up a Rubio endorsement who supports amnesty.

Well Francis generalized position got twisted by the media into a personal attack . Which was intended and used, as a left handed Trump endorsement. MSM ignored the constititionalist Cruz who says illegals are out and are to never return position but knowingly used the bombastic Trump who has a round ticket position about amnesty and silence from Trump about any border wall fence funding discussion going on during the GWB administration where the democrats killed the funding. Perhaps he was too busy managing his Trump U. Fleecing trusting souls who are now engaged in suing him for misrepresentation.

The leftist medias anti religious agenda is busy minimizing the Cruz candidacy claiming Cruz can not win by emphasizing Christian values in: Marriage, planned parenthood, abortion and the citing of positions on these subjects taken by Trump. Urge Ted to stay the course and defeat this blowhard . We want back to the days of the constitution and the government out of our bedrooms, kitchens, gas tanks, back yards, as well as our religions. Who will pick justices that keep it that way .

During a Face the Nation interview, Sen. Ted Cruz declared he would not accept the Scalia vacancy. That is not a job I am interested in. Cruz added, The job I am interested in is appointing 3, 4, 5 Supreme Court justices, defending the constitution. Ted Ctuz vowed that as president he would reverse the damages one by Barack Obama to the constitution.;WE NEED TED CRUZ

As expected Trump responded to what he thought was a direct personal attack by the Pope which was shared and agreed to by millions including many Catholics For what they were responding to is Trump in effect telling the pope to go to hell which made the difference. If they voted that way because of that reason They were mislead by machinations of the media not rejection of actions voters thought were made by the pope. THIS PRIMARY DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE GIVE TED CRUZ YOUR VOTE THE ONLY CANDIDATE COURAGIOUS ENOUGH TO
WHAT AMMOUNTS TO A WAR ON RELIGION ...

Trump can be anything he wants as long as he builds the wall and fights the jihadis.

No, no, you don't understand. Trump can be anything *you* want, as well as anything *I* want, as well as anything *your neighbor* wants, even if those *wants* are completely contradictory. The reality, at which you at least hint, is that Trump will be what Trump wants, whether or not you or I like it.

We're well into fantasy land here, with everyone projecting their wants and desires on to the man, without ever considering who or what he actually is.

It's not going to end well.

Why Catholics Can and Should Support Trump

Because they can go to confession next week, pray the Rosary, say a few Hail Marys and be immediately absolved and told to sin no more?

Number one reason why Catholics and everyone else who is persecuted for their beliefs; Trump has shown an ability to defeat the forces of political correctness. No one else has shown to have that ability. Political correctness stands in the way of taking care of every other problem we face.

Nope. Sorry. Common Core is a war on Catholics and Catholic schools. Ted Cruz had an opportunity YESTERDAY to take a stand by voting against Obama’s pro-Common Core education secretary nominee. Instead, he conveniently missed the vote.

I’ll take my chances with Trump. Cruz can fly a kite.
