Fortunately, alliances are starting to be formed between real Catholics and conservative Protestants in recognition of their common causes and common Christianity. The Libs have almost entirely lost the Southern Baptists and the Evangelicals and are starting to lose the real Catholics in significant numbers.

I am often astonished by the comments I hear from Evangelicals (whom I think include Baptists) about their perceptions of Catholic Teachings and Rites. A simple correction to what they think and you can see the light bulb go off in their head! We have differences, but a lot in common.

A Catholic who supports abortion is cut off. That is in Canon law. You will hear all kind of gymnastics from liberal Catholics including outright denial, but the CCL and Catechism is crystal clear, assisting the procurement of Abortion cuts you off. To be forgiven in the Church you not only have to be sorry, you have to change your position, and confess that act as a sin. You can't confess, and go back to the same position.

My point is the liberals, by supporting Abortion as a fundamental plank in the platform, can't have any Catholics in good standing; a person's support for the Democratic Party as an organization IS procuring abortion, and removes you from the Church.
