That’s a bit of a shocker. You don’t see the connection between contraception and abortion? The Church is the only one that teaches that contraception is wrong. Abortion rates have increased in lockstep with contraceptive use.

Abortions would not have increased lockstep with contraceptive use if the majority of Catholics didn't vote liberal and democratic.

Obviously, what the Catholic church teaches about either is irrelevant to those Catholics who vote liberal.

I worked with practicing Catholics who were very involved with their churches who voted Democratic, totally ignoring the abortion issue. When asked outright * Why vote for Democrats who support abortion that the Catholic church teaches is wrong?* the answer was .... quote "because Democrats are for the poor" unquote.

Yep they support what they claim they are against.

James 1:8 "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways".

"Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do."

On the contrary, the fact that they chose to reject the teachings of the Church is why they also voted democrat.

We are not all like that, ma’am. I work with the Church as well, and everyone is required to obey what the Church teaches. If they don’t, they are asked to leave.

And I’m thinking contraception caught on pretty well amongst Catholics...Large Catholic families are pretty much a thing of the past...
