It is shameful the Pope has not supported them publicly, made a statement, or even attempted to have a representative from the Vatican voice support.
If the Vatican would denounce the Democrats and Liberals for what they are - evil; then those faithless and godless people who still wish to call themselves Christians or Catholics (and yet vote for Democrats by the millions) would not be able to wear their fig leafs anymore.
Being a Democrat is part of the American Catholic identity (like it is for Jews, Hispanics, Blacks, and used to be for white Southerners). So in order to be "good Catholics" too many still vote Democrat even when the party advocates diametrically opposed policies.
This "Solid South" strategy is how the Democrats have survived since the Civil War. They've merely changed their solid ethnic base.
Members of my own family (father, aunt, cousins, etc) are this way. Irish heritage, ex-blue collar, and think the Kennedy family is just terrific.
If you sit down with them and talk politics, they will tell you how they were would "never" support homosexual "marriage", speech codes, and groups like Code Pink. They claim they are against affirmative action. When you point out that these are all now mainstream Democrat positions, they get angry and start to throw out MSM talking points against anything Conservative or Republican.
Many Jews I know won't vote for Republicans because of their antipathy for evangelical Christianity (and they associate all Republicans with evangelicals).
I think Satan is having a field day.
Wielding that broad brush must give you tremendously strong wrists.
