"“gotten worse” over time because Catholics within the party haven’t taken a strong moral stand and shown a willingness to abandon the Democrat Party.

Then how can they be catholic? How can you be pro abortion and be a catholic? Any catholics want to answer?

"Any catholics want to answer? "

Sure, they've adopted the Protestant doctrine of interpreting Scripture for themselves and become Protestants in all but name.

While 'Cafeteria Catholics' is what such folks are usually called they're just more non-Catholics who claim to be Christian. Just like the majority of those who claim to be Christian, they follow in the footsteps of Eve by interpreting His Word to suit themselves and in reality worship only their own, Most High and Holy Self.

It is like cheering for a team for some. Kennedy was Catholic, so they will vote Dem. Others view it as a debt to the poor, which the Democrats claim to champion, and an attack on some of the rich, which many Catholic feel comfortable doing.

All in all, it like an article that was posted not long ago. Abortion is not viewed as important as other issues.
