Given our form of government and Catholicism’s stated beliefs, I can accept some GOP-nominated Catholics. But without evangelical Christians in America, the country would be like Europe’s twin. More than anything else, the GOP base is evangelical Christian and we should be represented on the SC.
Than you should also understand that here are no formal conservative evangelical churches. With the "decentralized authority" that you all so proudly tout when it is convenient it should be no surprise.
Catholicism has a stated position consistent with Conservatism. Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans all support gay marriage. Lutherans, Methodists and Presbyterians have women pastors. The list of inconsistencies with the Bible and Conservatism goes on and on...
Individual members may be Conservative to one degree or another, but none of the churches have an enforceable manifesto against abortion, Gay marriage, Euthanasia, etc....< P>You all want the church of "Que sera sera" now live with the consequences.
