The fruit of Vatican II.
In fairness, practicing Catholics (weekly mass attenders) was the oyer way around. But even 40% of practicing Catholics voting for an anti-Christ is deeply disturbing.
I'd like to know the voting percentages of those attending weekly Tridentine rite mass.
Well, I can’t speak for everyone who attends the TLM I attend, but of those I know personally (at least 100), NOT ONE is a liberal in any way. I wish I could say the same for all the N.O. Catholics I know. Still...even most N.O. Catholics of my acquaintance are quite conservative. Birds of a feather, I guess; I associate with those who think as I do.
That said, in November of 2008, my priest had this to say about Obama’s election: “Our country has suffered a catastrophe this week,” and then went on to give a homily that was truly astonishing in its intensity. I am only sorry I don’t have it on tape. It was both frightening and awe-inspiring.
Regards,
the 40% includes mostly minorities and urban whites.
White Catholics in the suburbs who are in church on Sunday morning are overwhelming Republican voters, despite whatever their registration may say.
They are not particularly active in politics, however.
