....The time for toleration is past. Democratic voters need to step up and found a new Democratic Party that is true to the traditions of the party earlier in the 20th century. What to call it? Christian Democrats? That term might have too much European baggage. Traditional Democrats? That might sound too stodgy. True Democrats? I like that one.
Tom Hoopes is the former Executive Editor of the National Catholic Editor, and was the Press Secretary for U.S. House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer.
Someone is under the delusion that liberal Catholics (Methodists, Presbyterians etc etc) would choose Catholicism over liberalism. Perhaps they don’t listen or hear correctly when Dem leaders say their faith informs their leftist views.
They have chosen Baal over Jesus.
That’s it? This guy taught his daughter not to vote Republicans because they are pro war? So, how did they vote for FDR, JFK and LBJ? These Democratic Presidents would have been seen as pro war today.
Catholic Democrat == Liberal Democrat
Where the heck else are they going to go except the Democrats?!?
“Catholic Democrats are in a terrible quandary. They vehemently disagree with the Republicans approach to policy...”
They believe in a policy of using the force of government to accomplish that which they would consider a sin if they were to attempt the same act without it. It is called theft.
I doubt God will be kind to their judgment that this is some kind of loop hole they can exploit in their faith. That sure sounds like someone trying to protest their innocence when they are guilty.
Everytime a Catholic votes for a Democrat, they sin against God.
Like that little kid caught doing something wrong by their mother trying to explain why they didn’t know what they were doing was wrong....classic.
The idea of Democrats who aren’t atheist, baby killers, homosexuals or American haters starting their own party sounds like a great idea. It’s hard to believe family oriented, hardworking, normal people who want a decent world for their children to grow up in could watch that freak show of a Democratic convention, and not think the party has made a wrong turn.
Okay, Hoopes, ya got me. I love war, want war, lots of war, war all over the place. War, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, warwarwarwarwarwar....
It takes a stringently distilled stupidity to be as moronic as you, Hoopsie. I hope your daughter has a measureable IQ, and eventually saw through your BeeEss.
The time is long since passed when a person who is truly Catholic can vote democrat. There is too much immorality in the democrat platform and has been for a long time. Abortion, perversion, etc., provide the excuse why Catholics can no longer vote democrat or they are not truly Catholic, but just a remnant of what a true Catholic is. There comes a time when a person cannot anymore subvert their conscience and hide from the reality that the democrats are non-religious, non-God, and just a babbling bunch of heathens. Those are the facts. Now, how are you going to vote?
Millions of babies have been aborted via the Democrat pro-abortion policies. Sounds like war . . . no, genocide to me.
Yeah, they ought to form a party that totally focuses on jealousy, envy, covetousness, bitterness and theft. Forget the abortion and sodomy. Stick with fundamentals.
The Democrats are just not pretending as much as they did in the past. Nothing substantively new with the dems.
For millions of Catholics though the word “Democrat” is a snyonym for “Catholic” and shall remain so.
This guy taught his daughter not to vote Republicans because they are pro war?

?
...i can see a point about the Democrats caring more for the poor, etc.
but Republicans pro-war ?!?
-
from WW1 to the bombing of Serbia, what war WASN’T with a Democrat for President ?
(and Serbia was responding to Muslim attacks,
just as we did in Afghanistan...
it would seem to me, that even an anti-war Catholic,
could understand the dangers of Islam...)
