I agree, many of us were hoping for a public display of some sort from the Vatican when they were representing America and especially American Catholics while attending the Pope’s inauguration, rather them receiving communion.

Yesterday I attended weekday Mass which is NOT a requirement for the Catholic Church. The pews in the large church were almost entirely filled. And they were not all filled by old codgers, but many people who are working take their lunch hour at noon in order to attend Mass. What empty pews?
Yeaaaaa for daily Mass... ♥ :)

Four, now non-Catholics show you the door. LOL!

Slate is nonsense.

We have over 100 people at weekday Mass on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Other days — more like 60-70

Still not a bad count!

**The democrat party represents the Catholic voters**

No it doesn’t. It may represent some liberal CINO voters, but the REAL Catholics are not dimocrat voters. How many times have we told you this?

Do you always repeat this dying mantra toward us? I would think someday you would hopefully learn not to post such statements.

You can try to spread something that is untrue if you wish, but the truth is that the democrat party is the party of the members of the Catholic denomination, they support it today, and have throughout their entire history in America, with only a handful of election exceptions.

I don’t think you read my post. CINOs vote dimocrat.....not REAL Catholics?

And what about all the Protestants who voted for Obama — 95 percent in one group?

Yes, real Catholics, members of the Catholic church vote majority democrat.

The majority of Protestants vote republican, and the Protestant vote has always been anti-democrat, hopefully that pleases you.

The black vote was once republican, and now is democrat, as far as we know blacks vote democrat regardless of whether they are Catholic, Protestant, or Muslim, or atheist.

Not a whole lot on this forum that we can accomplish by telling everyone a common fact that everyone knows and that they can have little effect on, the black vote, but we can educate conservatives and pro-lifers, and the many Catholics here on the truth of the Catholic vote, and what Catholic immigration means in regards to saving the lives of the unborn and preserving conservatism in America....if that is our goal.

Except that my posts are completely accurate and correct, they are simple facts.

I’m not saying that you are a bigot, but I do question your interests in defeating liberalism and the pro-abortion movement in America.

Evidently you don’t have anything to say that makes sense, since defending the Catholic vote is defensing the liberal vote, which you seem to have backwards.

It is impossible to refute the facts of what the Catholic vote means for the pro-abortion movement.

If that amuses you, you are free to keep posting cartoons.

At least it saves us struggling to read a post from you.

The Catholic vote is a vote for the left and that is why America’s most prominent Catholics Vice President Biden and ex-speaker Pelosi are representing us at the ceremony of their Pope.

The left is confident of crushing the Protestant Christian presence in American politics because they see that the Catholic voters will eventually take them to total, absolute victory.

Conservatives were hoping that Biden and Pelosi would be used by the Vatican to create a pro-life message to the world’s Catholics but that didn’t happen of course.

This thread is posted in the Religion Forum.

The mainline guideline here is to "discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal."

Making the thread "about" another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."
