I’m a Catholic and it has long frustrated me that so many of my fellow Catholics seem to migrate to the Democrats. Never ever understood that.
I’m not Catholic but don’t understand how people like Biden are still accepted in the church ...
“I’m a Catholic and it has long frustrated me that so many of my fellow Catholics seem to migrate to the Democrats. Never ever understood that.”
I am also wondering why “Catholics” like Joe Biden get to remain members in good standing when they should be excommunicated. I know of no instance where a Catholic politician was excommunicated for openly speaking in opposition to his church’s doctrines. I’d make a donation if they would kick out both Biden and Pelosi.
In many elections there are situations where all of the available candidates take morally unacceptable positions on one or more of the non-negotiable issues.
In such situations, a citizen is called upon to make tough choices. In those cases, citizens must vote in the way that will most limit the harm that would be done by the available candidates.
Now, imagine a situation wherein one candidate has a record of fighting for unrestricted access to abortion, and the other candidate would only consider allowing abortion in the cases of rape or incest.
This is simply an example of a situation where all of the available candidates take a morally unacceptable position, but one will most limit the harm that would be done.
We now have leaders in America, like ArchBishop Chaput, who understand that “Social Justice” doesn’t mean substituting charity with corrupt gov’t programs, that buy votes, but help nobody.
Democrats look for social gospel suckers. And it’s not just a Catholic problem, it’s a fundamentalist problem.

Same with me!! I started to realize after some reading and even personal observation that a lot of it had to do with generations of blue collar catholics continuing to vote democrat because of the unions in the big city areas. Their reasons to vote democrat disintegrated over the years but they kept pulling the lever anyway. It ran in their families, so to speak. 30 or 40 years ago this may have made sense, but no longer.
