I have had differences of opinion with the Roman Catholic Church all of my life, but that is what they are, differences of opinion.
Regardless, we are all Christian Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ and what binds us together as such is much more significant and important as what might cause us to differ.
As Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or surely, we will hang separately!”
The forces of the anti-Christ, coated in the disguise of liberalism, progressive-ism, intellectualism and urbane sophistication, are attempting to destroy our Judaeo-Christian Republic. We must all hang together. Trump is our best option, this election!
If Trump does 1/4 of what he says, it will be significant progress.
Most Catholics blindly vote Democrat - “Democrats are for the poor people, Republicans are for rich people.”
“...that his sister Maryanne Trump Barry would be an ideal Supreme Court nominee...”
Many of us here, have listened to virtually every speech Trump has said. I’ve heard him speak warmly of his sister, but I’ve never heard him say that. She’s not on his list.
Another anti Trump piece.
“...Trump’s commitment to religious freedom has been questioned, due to his proposal for an indefinite ban on allowing Muslims into the U.S. and a potential system of monitoring those already in the country. “
Yeah, and the majority of Americans are with him on this, dumb @ss.
Another lie that is often repeated. He is for a ban on Muslims coming from countries that are a haven for terrorists and that have no way of vetting them. He has no problem with Muslims coming in from a country such as Canada.
Hubbie was at Knights of Columbus meeting last night - SHOCKED that one guy said he was voting STRAIGHT DEM - he thinks Trump is crazy. Doesn’t care about Hillary and abortion. SO SAD!
Praying for our fellow Catholics to examine their conscience before voting DEM - it is a grievous sin!
Below is Fr. John Lankeit’s sermon from Oct 2 - Protect Life Sunday:

I don't see your point, but then, I guess I am just a "dumb @$$".

Exactly right, and Christians of all persuasions, especially Evangelicals and Catholics, better start paying attention to the hatred toward them that is endemic in the worldview of the zealots in Democrat Party. Sincere Christians have what may be their last opportunity to save themselves and this whole country from becoming a hellhole of anti-religious bigotry and persecution.
“And in March, more than 30 Catholic intellectual leaders signed an open letter authored by George Weigel and Robert George denouncing Trump”
‘Catholic intellectual leaders’ — and there’s a concise label for what is so very wrong in the RCC.
‘Faithful and scriptural leaders’ have been pushed out, and are sorely needed today.
He’s calling the person who wrote the piece a dumb@$$.
sorry for the duplicate post - only one cup of coffee yet.
Catholic dummies vote like adoring fans of a soccer club. Many are probably abortion cafeteria Catholics.
Go, Trump, GO!
Trump’s commitment to religious freedom has been questioned, due to his proposal for an indefinite ban on allowing Muslims into the U.S.
Another lie that is often repeated. He is for a ban on Muslims coming from countries that are a haven for terrorists and that have no way of vetting them. He has no problem with Muslims coming in from a country such as Canada.

Correct. And I believe Trump will handle the problem of criminal violence committed by Islamic radicals or others by demanding that the existing laws of this country be rigidly enforced, and that government at all levels enact new laws where necessary to take down violent criminals.
this is a major reason why all voters regardless of political affiliation should vote for him in November.
It is true that Trump’s commitment to the Pro Life cause is open to question.
On the other hand it’s abundantly clear that Hillary wants nothing more than for every baby possible to die in the womb.
So what’s the debate here?
These Christian intellectuals should be more forgiving of a man who was obviously unaware of so many things but is at least trying. He has been touched by the evangelicals who pray and read the Bible and by black ministers who preach and receive him with open arms as a child of God, yet you, you hypocrites, complain yet do nothing to share The Faith and show him the love of God.
Pray for him. He is as someone coineda “cradle Christian.”
“Trump’s commitment to religious freedom has been questioned, due to his proposal for an indefinite ban on allowing Muslims into the U.S.”
WWJD?
I don’t think Jesus would have any problem with Trump’s supposed “Muslim ban”.
Here Jesus (Himself, red letters) is speaking to not just a religious group, but the Jewish religious leaders of the day. It’s sort of a delivered in person Tweet.
Matthew 23 New International Version (NIV)
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
[14][b] 14 (NKJ) Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.”
As opposed to “you can’t get on a plane”.
