“The majority of Latino Catholics, the fastest growing Catholic group, will support a pro abortion, etc. candidate”

Any person who calls himself a Catholic and support pro-abortion candidates and homo “marriage” candidates have forfieted the right to call themselves Catholic. They are supporting intrinsic evil and non-negoiative moral issues of the CHurch and should not show their face in a Catholic Church. But sadly the vast majority of the latinos that support Obama know nothing of their faith requirements and only want free handouts from the same government that let them enter the states illegally in the first place. Politicians that call themselves Catholic but support baby killing and queer “marriage” are causing great scandal and should be pubically ex-communicated from the Church, but the spineless bishops will not do it. The dollar means more to most bishops than following the word of God.

You express a common view and a quite understandable one...but (always) is that the official view of the Catholic church?
A bishop can write a letter or urge his parishioners one way or another but he too is simply offering personal opinion unless he is authorized to speak for the entire Catholic church and this he cannot do.

With high birth rates and continued immigration, legal and otherwise, would not the trend be for the American Catholic Church to become the Latino American Catholic Church?

And with the majority Latino American Catholics willing, indeed anxious, to support pro abort leaders then in time there is going to be a church membership that largely reflects the secular opinions on one side and the minority that support the official Catholic teaching on the other.

“The dollar means more to most bishops than following the word of God.”

But these bishops don't operate in a vacuum. They aren't elected by the membership, They're appointed and can be removed.

You're in a tough position, my friend, very tough.
