Ranting about some little wrinkle in “free stuff” that causes the Church to have to give out “more free stuff” isn’t going to be a winning argument against “more free stuff.”
Since Vatican II, the Church’s doctrine and epistemology has been about picking the pockets of the productive to give it to the poor, stupid and prolific procreators. It has been Church doctrine - the “social justice” twaddle. They’ve been preaching that to the pews for 40 years. A little recent development about forcing the Church to pay for condoms and birth control pills isn’t going to overcome 40 years of preaching about the “justice” in getting free stuff.
Oh, and BTW, let us not forget that the Church wants to open the floodgates to yet more illegals in the US. They know full well what they’re advocating.
Well, the numbers tonight prove me right in my condemnation of the Church and papists. They will be what brings down the US. The Church was the reason why my ancestors left Europe. Sadly, it seems my kind of productive protestant can’t escape the shiftless grifters.
As for "social justice," they encourage giving to Catholic charities. I have never heard anything in favor of government social programs at church.
However, the Church does seem to advocate an open border policy (if I've understood their position correctly, that is) - so I agree with that part of your statement. But that issue is not as important to the Church as the other issues, on which they take a position more in line with the Republican party.
Bottom line: Catholics who vote Dem probably aren't doing so because they're Catholic; they just happen to be Catholic, and there's another reason they're voting Dem.

I've been to many protestant churches of various denominations, and the talk is pretty much the same as what I hear at the Catholic church.
