The U.S. bishops are too politically and theologically liberal to appreciate Trump. They would rather pal around with Joe Biden. But rank-and-file, Mass-going Catholics don’t care. They long ago stopped taking their political cues from the bishops. Moreover, the endless abuse scandal has thoroughly discredited the bishops. How can anyone take their “social justice” blather seriously when they fail to protect their own flock?

Any Catholic who votes Democrat should stop talking the sacraments and any Bishop or Priest who supports a pro-abortion Democrat should be defrocked.

In 2004 I ran field operations for Catholics Against Kerry. We hurt him in Ohio slowed him Pennsylvania and beat him in New Mexico with a total budget of under 100k. This time around if Bite Me tries the same “Vote for me because I’m a Catholic and you’re a Catholic” crap he will be even easier to smack down on that issue.

Tim Kaine... I had completely forgotten about him. Is he still alive? Doing anything?

“The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold as divine - but for unbelievers the proof of its divinity might be that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility could have lasted a fortnight.” - Hillaire Belloc

THIS Catholic with 76% Irish heritage has NO PROBLEM AT ALL with President Trump’s (at times) ‘irreverent humor’

What the hell’s wrong with saying; “What the hell do you have to lose?”

Last year after the confrontation between Nicholas Sandmann and the “elderly Native American veteran” at the Lincoln Memorial, the bishop of Lexington (KY) called Sandmann a racist because he was wearing a Make America Great Again cap. Pope Francis has repeatedly shown his hostility to President Trump. I hope he has sense enough to realize that if he openly takes a stand in the 2020 election it would be a disaster for the church.
