More than weekly? Was this allegedly a poll of daily communicants?
I’m telling you as I’ve told others many times. I personally know Catholics who go to church every time they get, are active in their parishes, who are active politically and they vote liberal by their own admission, even knowing full well where the dems stand on abortion.
And they’re told me themselves, to my face, that they’re as pro-life as they come BUT.......
-the government doesn’t have the right to tell people what to do with their personal lives....
-they like obamacare because they have relatives in MA who just LOVE Romneycare (two week old information)
-when asked why he (the Catholic person with whom I was talking) voted for democrats with their stand on abortion, I was told....”because the democrats are for the poor” (direct quote and reason given)
I have met FAR fewer practicing Catholics, (active in their parishes and attending church more than once a week when the opportunity presents itself) who are conservative than liberal.
Catholics can whine all they want about how those are not *real* Catholics or whatever, but they are absolutely practing and adamnetly so. They take their Catholicsm very seriously and take offense at the suggestion that they are not faithful because of their political views.
I keep telling the FRoman Catholics on this board that there’s a BIG difference between the ideal Catholic and reality. Reality is liberal Catholics outnumber conservative ones by a significant margin.
