And faithful Lutherans are?
To be honest, most Catholics are more welcome in the elite more than faithful Protestants. Catholic’s in this country are very much cultural (CINO’s). Faithful Protestant and Catholic people are viewed as a threat.
Honestly growing up we would fight with the German Catholics in town a lot, but when the Swedes from the next town over came, we joined forces. I thought it was just a Nebraska thing, till I read up on the 30 Years War.
Frankly I no longer care. Just saying beating people over the head night and day does not generally make them want to cooperate with you.
I am a Catholic and for that I do not apologize. Despite being demonized in my Church and on this forum I have persevered. Because there is a TRUTH, and no naysayers of either side can change that.
I would and was far more comfortable in the Democrat Party of old. But.... Ronald Reagan was the man we needed and came at time when JPII was new. I was young and idealistic and dyed in the wool Democrat as that is where I lived.
But between my maturing faith and an openness to the truth, I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984. It was my first Presidential vote. I hid my allegiance for years. I thought that there was no one like me. I lived in the bluest of the blue areas. Except in those days the map was red for rats and blue for pubs.
Finally I escaped the Catholic, city , Democrat ghetto. But there are days when I wish I was not quite and bright and inquisitive. Life was much easier as a blind sheep. But I continue on, because going back is not only impossible, but it would be to deny the truth both of Jesus Christ and of Natural law.
In closing Catholics may not be completely welcome in America's GOP, but we really have no where else to go. I am trying to enlighten as many fellow Catholics as I can, but it's a long process.
