Justify anything.

I hope it doesn’t take Chaput another 30 years to figure out that Polly Baca-Barragan is someone he shouldn’t be friends with.
Catholics are a group that went more for Clinton over Dole in than normal and were a deciding factor in that race. I am not surprised that they might not support McDole either.
I guess they rejected “Dogans for Dumbo” as a slogan.
Looks like the “cafeteria” has added some new items. Look they all are fiery hot!
and in the 00 and 04 election, it was the catholic vote that pushed bush over the top and bush reciprocated by appointing two pro-life Catholic Supreme Court Justices.
Teddy K., Nancy P., John Skerry, Chris Dodd, Patrick Leahy..
Need I go on?
These people are Democrats first, fake Catholics, Losers in Life and Americans last.
They are a disgrace and so is the majority of the US Clergy.
I agree. There is no proportionate reason that can counterbalance a million dead babies a year. For shame!
As the writer said, I hope they have a good explanation for those unborn innocents when they meet them in the afterlife.
Just who are these ‘Roman Catholics for Obama’? Most likely these are just the usual political hacks who just happen to be Catholics. This reminds of all of those cheering people standing behind Obama or Clinton. Who are these people who are so wildly passionate about the candidacy of Obama or Clinton? I’ll bet 90% of them are just hacks who belong to some Democrat political machine.
Religious thread in Breaking News again!
The Catholic vote has been moving steadily out of the Democrat camp and into the Republican camp for a couple of generations.
In the old days, the Republicans represented the WASP establishment, and the establishment was anti-Catholic. Catholics were mostly ethnics—Italians, Irish, Poles—and were looked down on and discriminated against. Catholics were mostly working class and a major part of the labor unions.
All that started to change with Roe v. Wade. If the bishops had been on the ball, the decision might even have been reversed. But lay Catholics started the pro-life movement, and have moved into the conservative camp more and more every year. Catholics were ahead of Evangelicals in the right to life movement, although no question that Evangelicals are now on board, too, and agreement on this point has done much to improve relations.
At least such was the case through 2004, when Bush and the Republican Party started to stumble. There is some risk that Catholics may shift over more slowly and Evangelicals may lose interest in the political process again. Let’s hope we can get the momentum going.
This is why it was a gigantic mistake to impose someone like McCain on the party—because there’s a terrible risk of losing heart and losing momentum.
“Roman Catholics?”
I don’t think sooooooooooooooo... “CINO’s” would be accurate!
Perhaps the Catholic childhood in me is part of what makes it so I cannot vote for McCain. Though, it is more likely his actions since 1998 that did the trick.
Oh, I think he SHOULD remain her friend. Maybe someday he’ll have some positive influence on her. She doesn’t seem to have influenced HIM negatively.

it’s not in breaking news
Okey doke.
I said it could be me on another thread.
I stand corrected.
Thanks for replying.
