I am Catholic, but not all Catholics are Republicans, let alone conservative Republicans, or even conservatives, so that would seem to put your argument on shakey ground, in that Catholics in the mainstream, as you put it, do not vote pro-life as the Church directs.
You’ve cited her prayers. Have you considered that her prayers are “prayers” and only prayers? I also pray nightly for Bibi and for Israel. A tracking of my posts will reveal that much. I also stand firmly with Israel.
As for North Korea, that nutcase is mild by comparison, to the flaming Muslim madman in Iran, who has time and time again threatened to blow the Jewish state off the map, once he obtains the means to do it. He doesn’t give a rip about his own people either. He would be happy to blow them all to bits -— dual nuclear extermination. It would all be for Allah.
I think you’re projecting a lot of your thoughts onto Sarah Palin when it comes to you saying she will conduct her foreign policy as a way for her to “free pass to the afterlife.” I think that’s “absolutely nutz!”
My dad was Catholic, mom was protestant. I think Catholics are a very strong part of the mix in the USA. (ie,,,supreme court) But while i think most people except Obama, would call us a Christian nation,, i doubt many people would generally refer to America as a Catholic nation. Not as you would for example, say of Italy, or Mexico, etc.
And thats a huge point you made. Catholics have the same political divides that all denominations do. Some of em are downright liberation theology Marxists,, others couldn’t be more American.
“I also stand firmly with Israel” That's my question. WHY? Is standing firmly with Israel the equivalent to knowing theft is wrong? Do you see my question? I want to define standing with Israel. Where does this come from? Israel is not just any country. It was a place that was established solely on religion.
Also, what confuses me is that a practicing Jew would consider you an idolater for worshiping Jesus Christ. To begin with one point of MANY, the Jewish religion does not believe Jesus was any kind of Messiah because God would never allow for a human sacrifice. The Crucifixion is considered a human sacrifice which is prohibited in Jewish law. So, I'm trying to understand where this unconditional support for a state that was establish solely on religion comes from it can't possibly be a secular reason. And if it is a divine reason then how does a Christian reconcile honoring 2 covenants.
