I hope someone does an equally good article on how the majority of non-Catholic Christians voted democrat for the past sixty years right along with Catholics.

The South was so solidly democrat for so long that even now it's news worthy when a State Legislature stays in the hands of Republicans for more than a term or two.

It's all well and good to focus on the Catholic Church, and the Bishops who wanted to be a distinctly "American Catholic Church" did sell out, first to having their own version of Catholicism, and only afterward to liberal causes they thought would ingratiate them with the majority. And that majority was for sixty years solidly democrat no matter who managed to win a Presidential race.

Look around, there are Baptist, Methodist, Nondenominational, Lutheran, and all sorts of other flavors of non-Catholic "Christian" churches ordaining queers, marrying queers one to another, preaching that contraception is no big deal, and even that abortion isn't a problem. So, single out the Catholic Church all you like, their problem in this country was trying to keep up with a non-Catholic populace that decided Christ should follow them rather than their having to follow Christ. For the most part, Americans put self indulgence ahead of all else and revised their version of Christianity to fit with their indulgence.

That fundamental moral failing isn't due to the failure of the the Catholic Church or the non-Catholic Churches in this country, they all reacted poorly to the moral collapse, but they didn't lead it. The collapse of morality and moral leadership are the real real legacy of that bunch labeled, "The Greatest Generation" who taught their children and grand children that the greatest virtue was going along to get along.

JMHO

Well said!

THe Catholic church is being paid attention to because they are the ones making the noise. Not the Baptist, Methodist, Nondenominational, Lutheran, and all sorts of other flavors of non-Catholic “Christian” churches.

And you should apologize to the thread for putting scare quotes around the word Christian. I take that as an insult and a deliberate provocation.
