Very few priests mention abortion in their homilies. We had one that did, and people were furious because, in doing so, he also explained partial birth abortion in detail, and after a few weeks went by, and he discussed artificial means of birth control, as well, they “literally” chased him out of town. People “angrily” followed him following Mass. He was transferred within weeks.
What pro-life peoples can do [and this would apply mainly to Catholics as they understand the grace] is to follow Father John A. Hardon’s advice, and pray before the Blessed Sacrament often, for the end of abortion. The reason abortion is still around, I would imagine, is because not enough people are doing so. http://www.therealpresence.org/archives/Abortion_Euthanasia/Abortion_Euthanasia_003.htm
I would like to know how many Catholics have admitted in the Confessional to having voted Democrat. Voting for those who support baby-murder is surely a sin, is it not?
In general, and by population, most Catholics in the USA are no longer orthodox. There is a reason for that.
A large number of Catholics are poorly catechized and real know-nothings of the faith, because the vast numbers of converts and cradle Catholics are products of public schools who have systematically dumbed down Americans since at least the 50’s. So are their catechists. The decline in teaching has followed the trend of declining public school and universities.
Public schools have been owned lock, stock and barrel by the socialist/Marxist apparatus found in The Democrat Party and Soros/Bill Gates types of influences that now have a strangle hold on curriculum, including the content and substance of thought. In urban areas, on both coasts, the populations are subjected to union teachers. The union was birthed by communist sympathizers. The Church seminaries were reportedly infiltrated with socialists/communists and gays. Russians revealed this strategy and reported its existance.
Many Catholics are so dumbed down that touchy feely Democrat issues, will trump Church teachings on any given day.
How do we know how many Catholics are dupes? I believe the answer can be found in the Catholic voting habits. They are to be pitied.

Morgana dear, until this is declared a Catholic Caucus, I won’t comment. I think we’ve all had enough nonsense these past few days. An excellent topic, though.
BTTT!
