“”American liberals are aiding terrorists with their policies. I'm sure they are insulted, but she happens to be right.””

Liberalism's worst enemy is the Catholic Church.It is not the Bible, because the Bible can be interpreted and twisted to suit liberalism.

You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise

The Catholic Church makes concrete the correct interpretations of Scripture that teaches against abortion,homosexuality,masturbation,and every kind of immoral issue.

The gates of hell can invade individual scriptural interpretations,but the gates of hell cannot invade the scriptural interpretations of faith and morals of the Catholic Church.

Bishops: Iraq Situation Intolerable
By DAVID LIGHTMAN Washington Bureau Chief, The Hartford Courant
3:03 PM EDT, July 23, 2007

WASHINGTON - Responding to a call from 14 Catholic members of Congress, a spokesman for the nation’s Catholic bishops said today the current situation in Iraq is intolerable and that they would like to meet with the lawmakers to discuss how to responsibly end the war.”The current situation in Iraq is unacceptable and unsustainable, as is the policy and political stalemate among decisionmakers in Washington,” said the Most Rev. Thomas G. Wenski, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops committee on international policy.

Then there’s Berrigan and Drinan.

HA!! I don't think so. :) Your Church is "officially" on the right side of many moral issues, but Catholics, at least in this country, are one of liberalism's best buddies. Your Church voted for pro-abortion Gore in 2000, and you helped to hand Congress over to the Democrats in 2006. And over the last 9 presidential elections, the record of the Church is just over 50-50 in voting for pro-aborts vs. pro-lifers. Even when Catholics supported Bush over Kerry, it was only by 5 points nationwide. No such statistics apply to evangelicals. If Catholics voted in accordance with what you say is Catholicism, there wouldn't be any liberals.

Rhode Island and Massachusetts are the two biggest Catholic states per capita in the country. Not only do pro-abortionists OWN those states, but Mass. is the state that passed the law recognizing the wonder and splendor of gay marriage. If I was a liberal I would immediately go after the Catholic vote because I would think I could get it. I wouldn't bother with the evangelicals. Here is an opinion piece from the New York Sun that lays out some facts:

Winning the Catholic Vote - By SETH GITELL

And let's not forget BD's point, the position of the Church is to side with liberalism and surrender in Iraq, letting the terrorists take over. Still further we can add that many Catholic Churches are acting as sanctuaries for illegal aliens. In the southwest, at least, the liberal Catholic position is for open borders. You really have no claim to fidelity to conservatism.
