... Looking at the political facts on the ground looks hopeless and exhausting. If you are feeling despondent at witnessing blow after blow to pro-life candidates and causes, it might be good to remember that politics isn’t everything.
Don’t get me wrong — politics is extremely important. Catholics need to be deeply involved in politics, fighting for the justice. But Catholics can’t make the fundamental error those Emmaus disciples made. They hoped Jesus would come and solve this world’s problems here and now.
Instead, they got the cross.
Christ didn’t become the political ruler of Israel. Instead, he invited his disciples to go back to Jerusalem on the eve of its political destruction, and build the Church. Christ didn’t crush the Roman Empire like a warrior messiah. Instead, he invited his disciples to transform it from within — through loving service and martyrdom.
In the same way, anyone who thinks God will work in large part through the victories of one political party or the other for the ultimate good is destined to be disappointed.
At the dedication of Benedictine College’s Independence Hall Library (pictured above), President Stephen Minnis said “A few decades after our founding, the American bishops met in Baltimore—including our very own Bishop Fink of St. Benedict’s Abbey — and the bishops exhorted Catholic families to send into public life ‘not partisans, but patriots.’” ...

I gotta wear shades.
Things are just great, and they’re only getting better.
Sadly, my fellow Catholics made the Jews look like John Birchers in our misguided leftism.
The Church has become pretty much pro Baby Killing.

I asked it if the RCC vote came in as the White Evangelicals did what would the estimated impact be?
Quite possible we hold both houses of congress.
I can count on none hand the number of Catholics I know that do not vote democrat.
And that’s growing up in a Catholic family in highly Catholic Western NY.
Thanks.
Liberal oven Jews and pagan ‘Catholics’ will become muzzie in 10 years if the DSA takes over. The muzzies will wipe out the commies.
People consider themselves Catholics if they were born into a Catholic family and baptized, even if they never have never and still do not practice the religion in any way. I think that a category of Catholics who attend Mass regularly might not show a 50-50 split. It certainly would not be the same in the two group’s opinion on abortion.
Jewish people are similar in that they consider themselves Jewish if they were born in a Jewish family even if they don’t practice their religion. Non-Catholic Christians, on the other hand, do not consider themselves of a certain denomination unless they attend that church.
Heartbreaking.
Certainly not the ones I attend. Where are you seeing that?
According to exit polls 50% of Catholics voted for El Sayed. 92% of muzzies voted dem.
Watch this for Oppo Research on what the Dems have in store next, and for the 2028 Presidential run. Spoiler... It’s Josh Shapiro.
