I have some family that are Catholic...and hard left liberals. How can that be?

They're Democrats before they're Catholic. They're cultural Catholics. Most Catholics since the early '70s have been poorly catechized.

The first time that Catholics ever voted Republican was in 1972, some polls say they went for Eisenhower's reelection in 1956, but most no.

I think the Catholic vote has gotten marginally better, not worse.

You mean he doesn’t know right from wrong? He doesn’t know that lying/deception comes right from the pit. Mitt is the father of lies and Rick is being his pawn.
