Dianne Feinstein and the Anti-Catholic Bigots

It came out, thanks to the WikiLeaks disclosures during the 2016 campaign, that Hillary Clinton’s aides were trading nasty notes about Catholics, calling them “severely backwards.” The Dems had long been the party of anti-Catholic bigotry and the exposed emails only confirmed that reputation.

American bishops appointed by Pope Francis didn’t make a peep about Hillary’s anti-Catholic bigotry for the simple reason that they share it. They, too, see believing Catholics as “severely backwards.” Many of the Francis-appointed bishops, such as Chicago’s Blasé Cupich, were in the tank for Hillary. Patrick McGrath, the bishop of San Jose, California, used propaganda from the Hillary campaign as his crib notes, penning a ludicrous column to parishioners in which he said that Donald Trump “borders on the seditious.”

Cupich joined Illinois Senator Dick Durbin at Democratic dog-and-pony shows to push amnesty and socialism. Cupich’s sermons were indistinguishable from Hillary’s stump speeches.

But even with this help, even after decades of left-wing infiltration of the Church, Hillary couldn’t win the Catholic vote. Trump’s gibe at the Al Smith dinner — “here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics” — rang true for many Catholics in the pews.

The Democrats hate Catholics and the majority of Catholics will insist on voting Democrat anyway.

The Democrats hate Catholics and the majority of Catholics will insist on voting Democrat anyway.

The Democrats hate the Jewish and the typical American Jew predominately votes Democrat. The Democrats hate Baptist Blacks but they will vote Democrat by the bus load with a 110% turnout (illegal) and 99% margin of victory (statistically impossible) in every major American city.

With the current Pope, I am surprised she is not embracing Catholicism.

As I have posted here several times lately, the Catholic vote is no longer in the Democrat’s column.

Unfortunately it has taken an incredibly long while for the transition away from the Democrat party to occur. No wonder the Democrats scream about white voters. The white Catholic vote is about 80% Republican now.

Based on trends, the next election the Catholic vote will be 55% Republican. We just have to get more Latinos on the conservative side.

[I want the USA back]

The pope hates Trump and wanted hill to win. K

[smileyface]

So are you saying the % is going down for Catholics because the Latino vote is diluting it, and the Latinos are not voting Republican???

[Angels27]

How can the Democrats hate Catholics? Those Kennedy boys were such good Catholic boys.

[Dapper 26]

Very true!

The "majority of Catholics" are now either just going through the motions because that's what their parents did or they've long ago started pretending they're something else instead of pretending they're Catholic.
