One of the Democrats’ most devoted voting bases is the “Catholic” base.
They are Democrats first and Catholics second, putting the Kennedys, Pelosi,the LA crooked pols, the Chicago crooked pols,etc. etc. in office decade after decade. They have the blood of 60 million babies on their hands, and when they die, the Catholic Church buries them with all the royal trappings of the church. So of course, these disgusting hypocrites know that the bishops don’t mean a word they say about abortion.

As Jesus said, “By their fruits, you shall know them.” We can definitely judge them and their church.

Not this Catholic and her family. If you want to see how real, non-famous Catholics live and vote, come on over to Steubenville.

“One of the Democrats’ most devoted voting bases is the “Catholic” base.”

About one in four Americans identifies himself as “Catholic”. This means nothing. In 2016, white, non-hispanic Catholics and Asian Catholics who actually go to church every Sunday are overwhelmingly Republican, while black Catholics and white, Hispanic Catholics are at least large minority Republican.

I know fiftysomething Americans who haven't been to church, other than to attend weddings and funerals, since high school, who also say they are agnostic, yet check the “Catholic” box on surveys. I am sick of having people like this thrown up to me as “Catholic voters”.

In defense of Catholics, remember that the modern conservative movement was founded in the 1950s. Many if not most of the movement's leaders were either cradle Catholics like William Buckley, Brent Bozell, and William Baroody or converts like Russell Kirk and Frank Meyer. One exception was William Rusher, who was a High Church Anglican.

Unfortunately, a largely Catholic intellectual movement did not gain a majority following among their co-religionists.

It dosn't matter what flag of convince those folks and others like them fly, or even why. What matters is every one of them has denied their faith by publicly stating that they decide these matters for themselves after prayer and reading Scripture, exactly the same thing non-Catholic preach as the proper way to decide moral issues.

It's about time people quit pretending they're even Catholic and acknowledging them as being Catholic. They're not Catholic, nor are a large number of the Bishops in this country. We're in the midst of an era as bad as the era of the Arian heresy when 80% of the Bishops were Arian rather than Catholic and the laity need to face that fact.
