It's true.Except the Texas GOP Platform refers only to "Christians," not to "Judeo-Christian." And what exactly do they mean by "Christians?" I've heard people from that area of the Country claim that Catholics aren't Christians.

Wrong, here is the exact wording from the plank.
Christian Nation- The Republican Party of Texas affirms that the United States of America is a Christian nation, and the public acknowledgement of God is undeniable in our history. Our nation was founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian principles based on the Holy Bible. The Party affirms freedom of religion, and rejects efforts of courts and secular activists who seek to remove and deny such a rich heritage from our public lives.
The next plank is on free excericse of religion and the plank after is on religious institutions and governments. What exactly is wrong with any of that?

" I've heard people from that area of the Country claim that Catholics aren't Christians."And I've heard of Catholics who believe everyone else is going to hell.
