What a massive catastrophic failure of catechesis.

What hath VII wrought?

“Overall, these shifting Catholic attitude trends, less support for the use of U.S. military force, more support for higher taxes for wealthy Americans, and increasing acceptance of immigration, may favor the Democrats and Obama,” said Mark Gray, the director of CARA Catholic polls.”

The Kennedy’s are all “good Catholics” so it is not surprising. When I was a kid we would chant “Rat, rat, Democrat” And we were Catholic. But times have changed.

What are the stats for us Catholics that take our faith seriously? CINOs are generally Democrats.

I don’t pretend to be a good Catholic but why would anyone of *any* Christian faith vote for a Democrat?

Not surprising. The religion of LIFE supporting an agent of DEATH, even partial-birth abortion.

Totally disgusting that one who supports free-for-all sex and abortion on demand even during labor, should be supported by such a large group of Catholics in America is truly a sad slide into apostacy.

Seems the Catholic Church isn’t doing such a good job against the gates of hell after all...

However, Catholics who attend Mass weekly are still more likely to be Democrats, with 37 percent self-identifying with the party and another 18 percent saying they lean Democrat.

That ANY church-going Catholic could support the party of abortion on demand and homosexual marriage is an absolute disgrace.

I can understand Catholics not being enamored with the GOP. But for so many to be actively identifying themselves as Democrats is a scandal.

Agenda driven polls are not accurate, not news, and not worth discussing.

I’m not surprised that 99% of Catholics In Name Only are Democrats.

It’s sickening, I know. My Catholic family members always voted Democrat and still do, but that was back when there were pro-life Dems.

“What hath VII wrought?”

Why blame Vatican II? This is what the Catholic Bishops wrought.

When will the Bishops control the Catholic leadership of the Democrat party? They are also THE leadership of the Democrat party.
Why are the two most heavily “Catholic” states the most sinful and disobedient to the Vatican? I am talking about California and Massachusetts.

Why did the Bishops confuse the issue of voting and abortion?

Who started the corrupt unions?

Who supports illegal Immigration?

Who allows gays in drag to take Communion?

Has the church supported ACORN?

I am not anti-Catholic, I am Catholic. I follow the Vatican, do the Bishop's?

Catholics need to support the Right to Life for all as put forth in the Constitution of the United States.

Therefore --- any Catholic who might vote dimocrat is a Catholic in Name Only (CINO).

For their information -- Obama supports partial birth abortion. No Catholic can, in right conscience, vote for Obama.

I am borrowing a graphic from Antonius. Thanks.
