OK. But what about these reports I hear that Catholics vote Dem whether their guy is pro-life or not? I just wonder what the real deomographics are.
A lot of Catholics do 'overlook' the abortion stance, because they believe in the Dem principle of "helping the poor and needy."
When regular churchgoers are questioned (gently) about voting for dem politicians, they say they are praying for the person to change their heart re abortion.
These, however, are the same people who feel they would be insulting the poor, if they were asked to help in providing for themselves, or cleaning up after themselves, etc.
Whenever you meet a Catholic who puts the highest priority on Social Justice, you have met a pro-abort Catholic. Some have even convinced themselves that the poor deserve (or need) to have the abortion option.
It is a very condescending attitude, and one held by a lot of today's activist nuns.
