Your repetitious assertions aside, "Catholic" is not anyone who self identifies as Catholic, but is comprised of those who actually adhere to and live the faith. Those who defy the Bishops, ignore the teachings of the Church, reject the authority of the Magisterium and the Pope, who live a secular humanist life style simply cannot be called Catholics in any honest argument. Those conditions, by definition, make them more Protestant than Catholic.
What I can't figure out is what you are trying to accomplish by this constant assertion. It cannot be the the election of conservatives, since a stronger Church produces more conservative voters. Why don't you tell me what your ambitions are and maybe I can see where you are trying to take this. Maybe I can even help you.
Peace be with you.
Catholics are those who are members of the Catholic church.
I guess you can pretend to decide who is catholic, yet they remain as Catholics and members of that Christian denomination.
