This Is a little confusing. Many Catholics support the Obama policies. Illegal immigrants, welfare, social services, big government, etc.
But when it comes to abortion, gay marriage, etc., Catholics are the biggest enemies of the Obama policies.
I disagree with making that generalization. Although my observations are anecdotal, some of the biggest PRO abortion and gay marriage advocates that I know are Catholics.
As with a large number of American Jews, many Catholics place political ideology above their religion.
Which is very perplexing for me. Although I do not consider myself a religious person, I believe that if one is truly religious, then those beliefs and principles must take precedence over everything else. I also believe that a religion of any sincere, humanitarian value does not advocate murdering babies and repressing the liberties of people. Nor does it advocate despotic government and the forced subjugation of the populace.
The Church has been split the same way the country has for the last several years. That is coming to a head as well.
