Truncated title.

Full title: Bishop Tobin: Tim Kaine’s Abortion, Gay Views ‘Clearly Contrary’ to Catholic Teaching and Pope Francis

Although some analysts describe Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), as a devout, “Pope Francis Catholic,” whose faith is “central” to his work, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin said Kaine’s pro-choice position on abortion and support for gay marriage and women priests are views “clearly contrary to well-established Catholic teachings.”

Bishop Tobin, head of the diocese of Providence, R.I., added that Kaine’s positions on those issues are also “opposed by Pope Francis.”

Tim Kaine's positions are not compatible with Catholic teaching.

Tim Kaine brags about his faith publically when it is expedient.

His actions are contrary to Catholic teaching.

In other words, no Democrat can rightfully be a Catholic.

I take it he is about as “catholic” as the Kennedys?

“Catholic” is his fig leaf. “Democrat” is his religion.

Nancy Pelosi is the same kind of “Catholic”. In name only.

This provides more room to tick up Trump’s numbers, abortion and marriage.

Kaine is a very soft looking person.

His overall demeanor says “weakling”

Let the logic sink in for a while. Kaine, as a Catholic, has a personal opposition to abortion. But he votes in the Senate to preserve it and fund it (Planned Parenthood).

From Wiki: In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, performs an action that is contradictory to one or more beliefs, ideas, or values, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.

The last time I checked being a Catholic was a free choice in America. Similarly, running for elected office is a free choice. Senator Kaine needs to choose between being a Catholic and being a Democrat. Otherwise, he is simply an opportunist who places his career ahead of his principles.

Fine, Bishop. Get all of the other Bishops to campaign against Clinton/Kaine.

When they are together he looks like Hillary’s little bitch.

I for once would love to see a Republican candidate for office declare they are personally 100% pro-infanticide, but would never dream of forcing their viewpoint on others, and hence vote 100% pro-life.

Kaine’s religion is Socialism, and his voting record and agenda in office, as Richmond Mayor, VA Lt Governor, Governor and U.S. Senator has reflected that. He’s the most radically leftist Governor and U.S. Senator in Virginia history, a 100% perfect lifetime moonbat ultraleft score from the ACU.

True, and I know there are many more in every part of politics, from local on up to the big wigs. It disgusts me.

Like Congressman Raúl Grijalva, the most Communist of all Congressmen and foursquare pro-abortion. Somehow he’s also a “Catholic.”

Is a “Pope Francis Catholic” a good thing? To me it is a term of derision.

if anything, Kaine may get the disinterested Catholics riled up enough that they might pay attention.

as long as Kaine is talking about abortion, we are winning.
