Anyone know of any actual conservative GOP priests?

Oh, sure, there are plenty of good priests. They just don't stick out the way some of the dissenters do.

Priests aren't supposted to get heavily involved in politics. Drinan was forced to quit as a congressman, but he continued to dissent from the sidelines.

The Vatican clamped down on political involvement of priests and forced several to leave political office because of the insanity of "liberation theology" in South America (now pretty well discredited) and the bad example of that priest in Haiti whose coup against Baby Doc Duvalier was idiotically supported by clinton and carter.

Father Pavone (Priests for Life). I'm not absolutely sure - well, yeah - I would bet he votes Republican. On the other hand, I told him that I really think he sounds like a Baptist preacher.

He spoke at the Texas Rally for Life in Austin, Saturday. Once again, I am humbled by the power and logic of the man.

Most of the Catholics in Congress are Democrats. Democrat machines in the large cities have been dependent upon Catholics since the 1820s.
