One of the greatest mysteries of all time.... why do Catholics vote for the most ungodly of men?

As for the stats listed, I’m shocked that 77 percent of libs believe in sin. Then again, I would suppose their version of sin is something like taking a 15 minute hot shower or driving an SUV; NOT aborting a baby or performing a homosexual marriage.

They don’t. They live in areas dominated by liberal Protestants and non-religious types. But according to Zogby, McCain is leading Obama by 16 points among Catholics. And Catholics solidly turned out for Bush in 2000 and 2004.

... and keep in mind that these polls include as “Catholics” pretty much anyone of Irish, Latino, Polish, Italian or Frencg descent. Weekly Church-going Catholics voted for Bush over Kerry 2-1. And THAT included Latinos.

In-deed. Being a good steward of the earth is Christian, but in order to rationalize away guilt of moral sins souls in rebellion against God, souls will do worship of the earth, and justify themselves by acts thereof. But with 500,000 Americans dead form AIDS, and one of 4 women with a STD. and one of 3 pregnancies terminated by abortion (much due to promiscuity), sexual sins are destroying America faster and surer than any global warming, if it is indeed real (not here).

Catholics who vote for “the most ungodly of men” are not Catholics or as we like to call them (CINOs) Catholics In Name Only.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2057688/posts check out this post of what a Catholic women who's baby has been diagnosed with an fetal abnormality is doing - living her faith the way God has given it.

How many “Christians” when confronted with the same diagnosis - flush their God given child.

You can’t be a Christian and just talk the talk and knock the other guy - you have to walk the walk.

They're self-proclaimed Catholics who dismiss the values and teachings of their religious faith.

**why do Catholics vote for the most ungodly of men?**

My dad, aged 95, is a staunch FDR democrat. He just doesn’t understand how much the dimocrats have changed. Don’t think he will vote for Obama, however.
