It is entirely possible to stop being a Catholic whithout even realizing it. And that’s exactly what happened to Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi, and a lot of the other Democrat “Catholics” this article mentioned.

AMEN!See my tagline!

Right now I can’t bear being around my parents and siblings mostly for stuff like this.

I feel your pain. The priorities of these types amaze me - political party before religion. If I was the pastor of a Church and one of these parishioners called me to administer to one of their loved ones, I'd tell them to call their local Democratic Party headquarters.

The bottom line is, if you’re for murdering babies, then you’re no Catholic.
There is no gray area there.

After arguing with my Obamafied co-worker, I told him I would not want to stand before God and have to explain why I supported someone who allowed babies to die on a closet floor. The response?

“But gas is $4 a gallon”

I looked him square in the eye and said....MAYBE THAT’S WHY GAS IS $4 A GALLON!

It’s not that I really think that, but I was mad and this guy is supposed to be a christian and it really burned my butt.

If a Catholic is FOR abortion, then they really aren’t a Catholic, but are instead a CINO.

If they vote to support abortion in anyway — remember the dimocrat platfrom has an increased abortion plank in it — then they excommunicate themselves. They cannot receive Communion!
