Sad indeed.
How big was this ‘poll’?
Once again the overall fruit of Rome overwhelmingly opposes God and evangelicals
and this you base oon the results of a poorly worded poll issued by a left wing rag...okay...
boy howdy, and you evangelicals...
There are a lot of people running around calling themselves Catholics who aren't aligned with the Church on this or other issues.
Blaming poll results on the Church is quite a stretch, but your comment exposes your willingness to spew anti-Catholic vitriol at any opportunity.
No, but in the light of the consistent findings of numerous surveys by numerous agencies , including Rome herself.
Care to respond now?
In addition, Roman Catholicism does not want her faithful examining Scripture and evidence in order to determine the veracity of what is taught, but conditions them that their one duty is to follow their pastors as docile sheep.
And this means is that not only has Roman demonstrated that it can effectively redefine the understanding of things that were was taught in the past, but her own leadership defines what is an acceptable "following" of the church by treating even proabortion, prosodomite pols as members in life and in death.
RCs see a Ted Kennedy getting a cordial, non-censorious letter from the pope, even thanking him for his prayers, and a church funeral, along with other such, and such serves as an interpretation of what canon law says about such.
There are a lot of people running around calling themselves Catholics who aren't aligned with the Church on this or other issues.
And just who is the judge of that? If leadership treats them as members then who are you to judge them as CINOs? There are a lot of people running around saying the pope is not aligned enough with the Church as they understand it. However,
It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock...the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors. - VEHEMENTER NOS, an Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on February 11, 1906.
Blaming poll results on the Church is quite a stretch,
"Quite a stretch?!" These are your brethren, which you must own, and such liberalism is what Rome overall is shown to effect where she predominates. Including among her own pastors, who treat liberals as members and are often quite liberal themselves. You cannot blame society as the church is not sppsd to follow it, and Scripturally are to effectively discipline her own who impenitently openly support its immorality. But unchanging Scripture is not the supreme standard for Rome and her own anyway.
but your comment exposes your willingness to spew anti-Catholic vitriol at any opportunity.
Rather, abusive or venomous language expressing censure or bitter ill will is not what was seen, though that is expressed by RCs (as can be shown), while my comments and substantiation exposes the deception of such who arrogantly promote Rome as the one true holy church. Which is an incessant practice here as those familiar with the RF know.
May Almighty God Bless you, in the Name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Amen.
In lieu of an argument once again you have exampled the RC recourse to mind reading and victim mentality in response to sound reproof of your false premise.
Which was the issue, not your own heart or mine, and resorting to fallacious ad hominem mind reading in response simply makes Roman Catholicism less defensible and lovable.
May Almighty God grant you repentance unto acknowledge of the Truth, and the intellectual honesty that it requires.
Besides not being able to post HTML coherently, this propaganda poll is stating that “Evangelicals” are 300% more likely to be against faggot marriage than Catholics.
Do even YOU believe that?
Read this book and smarten up.

Yes, I do. My home state is New York, which is highly Catholic and post-Christian. Before I read the Bible and really understood my faith, I followed the lead of the mostly Catholic people around me, and they considered devoted Christians to be “religious nuts,” and “holy rollers,” people for whom their faith was most important. Yet most of these Catholics maintained ties with their church in order to raise their children Catholic.
And that’s why, as Hillary Clinton pointed out to the Black Lives Matter protesters, the “gay marriage” advocates had a plan of “going through the states,” and the states they began with and found success with, with my home state of New York being the tipping point, it seemed to me, to make “gay marriage” unstoppable, were predominantly Catholic heritage states, where most people were either actively Catholic, identified as Catholic or had been raised Catholic and were former Catholics or not part of any church. The superhighway to “gay marriage” was through these states. Look them up, and the religious demographics.
The Northeast is the problem.
Full of commies and sex perverts.
The Heretic Luther is responsible for all of the ills of the USA today.
Might as well pray to Henry the VIII and start your own Church, cause that’s what the Protestants are about.
A piece of the action and cash, that’s what Martin Lucifer was after.
Yes, the REAL CHURCH, you know , the one founded by JESUS H CHRIST and POPE PETER, was corrupt in the 1500’s and Luther is to be commended for objecting.
Pales in comparison to the EVIL wrought by LUTHER.
ANYBODY can call themselves a Reverend and STUPID PEOPLE pay these CON MEN MILLIONS of bucks and rejoice in pissing on the REAL Church of JESUS CHRIST, the CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Bible humpers are no different than Mormoms or any other cultists.
This would be a 95% White country if not for good ole Martin.
I’m not really a fan of any religion at this point, this Jesuit nut was prophesied to be the last Pope and might just succeed.
There is a reason why the there has never been a Jesuit Pope before this douchebag.
This Popes days are numbered.
Should those ignorant people who said Kim Davis should be forced to issue samesex marriage licences —should they be forced to study the US Constitution and bill of rights and report on how these have been offended by this rush to force the consciences of other men? should they be forced to study and report on Article III of the twice passed north West Ordinance and it’s origins in Christian Sermon May 10,1787? and should they be forced to explain why America seems so handily ready to become as Sodom and made like unto Gomorrah/ Why we have chosen to reject Religion, Morality and even Knowledge as those terms were understood when adopted.
It’s not just the Northeast. There are many other Catholic strongholds elsewhere in the country, and they’re also liberal, post-Christian, and Dem-voting.
On what you say about Luther, Protestants and Catholics, I don’t agree. I’m not going to spend my time on arguing with you, however. You can use a search engine to search on my name and Free Republic along with “Catholic” and read how I view the Christian faith and the Catholic Church. Overall, I see Christianity as based on faith, in which morality will arise from faith, while Catholicism is about morality.
On America “would be a 95% white country if not for Martin,” I wonder if you know that many times the number of African slaves brought to the U.S. were taken by Catholics to South America? Most didn’t survive long in South America, though, while some intermarried with the South Americans.
And more importantly, the Lord created us all in His image, and no race is better or worse than any other. My tagline is from the book of Revelation in which it says that a great multitude of all nations will be in Heaven. If hadn’t been done through the injustice of slavery, immigrants from places besides Europe would have come here, too, and I’m glad for that. I have no concern about different races or ethnic groups being here, none whatsoever. I do have concerns about secular humanism demanding dominance, and favoring religions besides Christianity, and to some lesser extent, Judaism.
