Some??? Most, and they always have.

Only 4 or 5 times (it is disputed), has the Catholic vote gone republican.

Real people of faith would not vote Demonrat nowadays. It’s a contradiction by definition

Because like holy mother Nancy Pelosi and blessed father Anthony J. Soprano, they are Catholics in Name Only.

The most Catholic states in this country are also the most Democrat and the most liberal. Proven.

Democrats are the Party of sin, and lots of it. Supporting evil and turning your head
is just as damning as acting out the sin themselves.

True Christians do not support Homosexuality yet many many do by just voting for Dems.
They know it's wrong but continue to shame their religion.

When they meet the maker how will they explain their culpability. They cannot.
Sin is sin, it's black and white and nothing can be explained away to God,
who knows your heart.

Just tell her to look up what democrats/communists have done in Soviet Union and satellites. Greek-Catholic religion was banned, priests and believers were forced to switch over to KGB run Russian Orthodox religion. Who did not “convert” was sent to prisons and Gulags.
Inteligencia, business owners and smart people became enemy of the state and were done with accordingly. The people had “privilege” to stand in bread lines and everybody was “equal”, except party apparatchiks who had special stores stacked with foreign goods.
This is what Kenyan is installing in US. Enjoy whatever freedom and property you have, wont last for long.
You didn’t build it! But he will use your taxes to blow on luxurious vacation (Moochelle too).

first and foremost they view the human race as a problem.

i would also challenge them if they twist scripture to say this is just giving to caesar what is caesars,

since when is what i earn, the government’s?
and second,

explain why jesus didn’t say that taxes are actually christian charity? why didn’t he preach that government should set up welfare programs and that christians should give all their alms to the government?

these people are socialists masquerading as christians, going after christians who do not understand their faith very well. can’t see that these people are putting forth specious arguments.

The Catholic Church has a large welfare class and is taking taxpayer money to run their charities. Naturally, they favor big government spending.

There was a Pew Research study published right after the 2012 Presidential election (http://www.pewforum.org/2012/11/07/how-the-faithful-voted-2012-preliminary-exit-poll-analysis/).

Their poll showed that while Catholics were fairly evenly split between Obama (50%) and Romney (48%), the differences between white Catholics and Hispanic Catholics was major. White Catholics supported Romney over Obama 59% to 40%, while Hispanic Catholics supported Obama over Romney 75% to 21%.

Same reason we've had only ONE catholic President.

Catholics have leaned toward being the party of workers, unions. They don't campaign for more freedom for those who carry the load...they campaign mostly on getting more money from taxpayers.

There are of course exception to this but generally this is the case.

My brother in law is very active in his church and after his retirement, he became a small church pastor.

But, he was a union member, even a shop steward, so all his life he voted democrat straight party ticket.

same question can be asked about Black Christians who live very Conservative. One speaks with them and they are fiscal/social Conservatives but vote Dem. Its ignorance of what Conservative means. They think Conservatives are Anarchists. I had one of these people tell me that Dems will take care of the disabled....they have no clue Dems will be the first to ration healthcare to the disabled.

Hi Thorliveshere. I’m not trying to be mean, so please be patient with the following question. Are you aware of Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imposed on Congress by the Founding States, and that such powers don’t include taxing and spending on behalf of the poor?

My family have been Catholic Republicans since the start of at least Roosevelt. I don’t know what party they were before that - actually, I do. I think at least one of them was a NY Copperhead. In between, I don’t know.

When I was young, Catholics and Jews along with “negroes” were not allowed to belong to or even enter certain places like country clubs and different organizations that were primarily populated by Republicans.

There is a long history and a perception that still remains in the voting patterns of Catholics.
