Breitbart ^ | June 24, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Did I say they were different from Francis?

With all due respect, the more relevant question would be, "How are they different from Catholic?"

I hope Trump recognizes that the USCCB is an ENTIRELY Marxist, anti-American organization, and doesn’t give them the time of day. They are an arm of the Democrat/Communist Party.

Catholic voting patterns in presidential elections would support your position.

That said, it doesn't speak to highly of the rcc that their members more often than not vote for dimocrats.

I know people in their 70s and 80s who support pro-life events, organizations, etc. And vote for Obama, and will vote for Hillary. Because they CANNOT vote for a Republican. Their arm will turn black and shrivel up and fall off if they vote for a Republican.

It’s not Catholicism that make them idiots. They are just idiots. They will vote against Herbert Hoover until they die.

Sorry to strongly disagree with you but one very involved woman at local Catholic Church, who helps out by serving the sacrament every Sunday, is also on the board of the local group called Mainstream Coalition which also supports Planned Parenthood! Not only is she involved but she is very vocal of her support for abortion and also homosexuality!

She's not the only member of her parish to be involved in the pro-abortion support group!

“one very involved woman at local Catholic Church, who helps out by serving the sacrament every Sunday, is also on the board of the local group called Mainstream Coalition which also supports Planned Parenthood!

This one woman is not a Catholic. One of the strongest tenets of the Catholic faith is respect for the sanctity of life. You can not be a faithful Catholic and not be pro life.

It is like saying you are a baseball player but do not know what a bat or glove or ball is. It is like saying you are a piano player but do not know what a piano is.

This women is a fake Catholic. She does not believe in Catholic values.

There are people who call themselves Catholic but do not believe in God or any of the spiritual values essential to the faith. They do not live moral lives.

Most do not attend mass regularly. I suspect that this is true for all religions.

Maybe the pro-abort Catholics are mostly in the LCWR.

Very true.

Not being Catholic myself, I am very familiar with those who call themselves "Christians," including so-called pastors, who not only are not "Followers of Christ," they do not believe in His Divinity, His Incarnation, nor His (physical) Resurrection!

A lady who now attends church with me, told me she asked her former pastor about the Ressurection of Jesus Christ. He responded by stating, "Of course Jesus was spirit and His spirit was what was ressurected!"

She said she left her former pastor's presence, never to return!
