"Catholics voted for abortion in 2008, as they normally do."

Same old ballet, same old Bolshoi.

Maybe you are hoping if you repeat it often enough someone, somewhere might believe it.

Meanwhile, from your posting history, I see no evidence that abortion is anything more to you than an issue to try to bash Catholics with. Picket and pray in front of a clinic, counsel a young expectant mother to change her mind in the issue, initiate a legal challenge against an abortionist, publicly confront a politician in the issue, get arrested, or do any one of the thousands of things the Church does every day to end abortion. Then, and only then, will you have any standing to criticize "Catholics" on this issue.

And, for the record, Catholics are Evangelical.

"Evangelicals" is just one of the more recent attempts to hide from the reality that Protestant Christianity is the driving force behind the collapse of this country and of Christianity around the world. Whatever they call themselves in order to play games with statistics rather than deal with reality, the vast majority of Protestant "Christians" have absolutely no problem with murder by contraception which has without a doubt murdered at least as many infants as abortion has. Furthermore, the degeneration of society follows in lock step with the reduction in the number of faithful Catholics as well as being nearly the perfect inverse of the growth of "Evangelical Christians". Whatever they may think they are, they are in reality salt that has lost it's savor. Otherwise, society would have been improving in the past thirty years rather than going down the tubes while "Evangelicals" swap stories about the impending Great Escape or whichever other fantasy suits the conspiratorial bent of the congregation.

Oh, and by the by, 54% of Catholics and 57% of other folks calling themselves Christian voted for King Barry, so pretending some sliver of a sliver of the overall Protestant population is different doesn't float. Just like trying to float the lie that contraception is any different than other forms of abortion doesn't float.

Whatever you want to say about Catholics, the fact is that Catholics are not now and never have been the majority in an election in this country. In national elections they are outnumbered by a minimum of three to one by Protestants and even in MA where the percentage of the population that is Catholic is greater than anywhere else they're outnumbered 1.5 to one. In most States they make up less than a quarter of the electorate. Of course, if Protestants all stay home on election day and let only Catholics vote, or if the ninety percent of the Congress that's always been Protestant takes orders from the few Catholics, that's different. Are you saying that the vast, indeed overwhelming majority, of Protestants do whatever Cafeteria Catholics and Catholics in Name Only tell them to? Didn't think so, but it's not the Catholic minority that runs this country, not by a long shot.

It's obvious that the majority of Evangelical/Fundamentalist/Old Fashioned/Baptist/Methodist exceptions to the facts are enjoying the powerful delusion they're under, all the while whistling past their own grave by pretending they're not like "those people". Seeing that makes the parable of the Publican much obvious to those who really want to follow Christ. I do hope those following the heresy of Core enjoy the deluding themselves into denying they have refused to take up their cross and follow Christ the minute they committed the same sin Eve committed when she, too, revised His Word to suit herself. The guilt free murder, and sex without responsibility are no doubt just peachy keen now, but it's awful to think how those same things are going to torture such folks forever when they finally hear what almost all such folks will hear unless they change their ways; "I never knew you" from the lips of Christ who they refuse to surrender to.

have a nice day
