Most Catholics are basically lost and incapable of being “basically good people.” Incidentally, most other folks are as well. They may do good things now and then, but unless their lives are surrendered to the Lord, they are going to make reprehensible choices.

Anyone who could vote for a pro-abortion candidate without the slightest tinge of guilt about the issue has a seared conscience, plain and simple. They should examine their lives to see if they truly know the Lord.

You're basically judgmental and pretending to be God.It may be you that might be lost by making such statements

I agree with you on this and so would a Catholic who follows what the Church teaches.

Anyone who picks and chooses what to believe and what not to believe regarding church teachings risks losing salvation .

You must not know many Catholics. Most of them are, in fact, basically good people. They have not had the fullness of their faith taught to them in the last 20 years and many of them have a very superficial understanding of Catholicism. In this day and age, it is the responsibility of every Catholic to educate himself in the deep resources of our glorious Catholic faith.

I am a traditional, practicing Catholic. I voted pro-life, and I know I am a child of God and that my life belongs to Him.

There— now you know one.

No one is lost until the final moment of God’s perfect judgment.

I would also like to point out that the Pharisees thought they knew who was lost and who was saved. I think you know what Jesus thought of them.

I invite you to learn more about the Roman Catholic Church. Tim Staples has written some wonderful books about his journey toward the knowledge that the Catholic Church has the true fullness of faith. Before you pass judgment on a whole group of people, I think you owe it to them to do some research on them. Try reading Tim Staples or Patrick Madrid: Protestants who were willing to examine Catholic beliefs with objectivity.
