What a massive catastrophic failure of catechesis.

“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.”

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

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.

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.

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

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.

How anyone who purports to be Christian can vote democrat is beyond me especially Catholics ( maybe CINO’s I guess ).

I was at a ladies house yesterday, 73 year old widow, devoted Baptist, just a fine woman who had all sorts of Hussein literature around her house. I don’t get it.

Makes sense.

What religion are Latinos?

As their influence grows so shall the Churches.

Those Catholics who would pull the lever for a candidate of the party of death, abortion and socialism aren’t very good Catholics.

This should not be so surprising. The migration of Catholics to the GOP was more due more to their anti-communist world views rather than abortion. China and Russia war threats are no longer Washington concerns. Choice is now included with the GOP’s open tent.

The Reagan Democrats who jumped to Perot are are hearing the job sucking sound and feeling the pressure of inflation. They are now more tuned into family economic issues, including jobs, health care and education costs. On social issues, helping the poor recruits more people at Church than abortion clinic protests.

The trains are passing each other in the night.

According to the study, pro-abortion sentiment has slightly increased among adult Catholics Poser wanna be Catholics. In 2002, 55 percent somewhat or strongly agreed with the statement “A woman should have the right to choose to abort an unwanted pregnancy.” In 2006, the percentage in agreement increased to 58 percent.

Fixed it

This begs the question: what is a Catholic? Is it an ethnicity? Or is it a religion? Because if it’s a religion....

1) Define Catholic (practicing v. cultural)

2) Define Catholic (registered voter v. likely voter v. are they even registered at all)
