Agreed. Just as I’m upset to see priests marching in leftist political rallies, they shouldn’t use their collars to promote any candidate or party.
Politics and religion are rightly separate.
So Catholic priests shouldn’t attend speeches by the President, but it is fine for the Catholic religious to attend pro-abortion or pro homosexual rallies, or break into military bases.
Just trying to parse the distinctives of the Catholic church.
Yes, but they were generally Presbyterian, not Catholic.
As Walpole said, “Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson!”
The self-segregating black churches are never partisan!!
Target is having a sale on white sheets this week.
The left’s main complaint here is that they were not imams.
Good! The people I hope are most furious are Catholic democrats who have Trump Derangement Syndrome. And how dare they throw a fit over a few priests...they have the dopey Pope on their side.
Just where is the usual FR "All Catholics are Flaming Liberals" crowd? That is much a strawman, but the testimony that Catholics - those whom Rome manifestly considers such in life and in death - are mostly Liberal remains .
And among other Roman Catholic social activist priests you have so-called Father Michael Pfleger, who together with so-called Rev. Jesse Jackson led left-wing protesters in shutting down all northbound lanes of Chicago’s Dan Ryan Expressway on Interstate 94 Saturday morning.
We saw and commented on those priests. They were seated up front, just behind Donald’s podium. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, clapping, and in the groove. Does the Church frown upon such? What would Jesus do? Their presence did NOT offend me, but not a Catholic by faith and no reason it should. Sounds a bit hypocritical on their part.

Roman Catholic presidential voting patterns from 1952 to 2016.
Roman Catholics have supported the GOP candidate only four times since 1952.
I'll let the reader be the judge if Roman Catholics are liberal or not.

But a priest can march with Jesse Jackson and block a freeway in Chicago just fine.
Why is anyone still Catholic any more?
Those who remain thinking that everything will turn out fine have as strong a normalacy bias as any I’ve seen.
And after King George issued a Proclamation of Rebellion against the Colonialist on August 23, 1775, the Irish Parliament pledged to send troops to America, and Irish Catholics were allowed to enlist in the army for the first time. Irish Protestants favored the Americans, while Catholics favored the King. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War#Political_reactions
And true to form, the social activist priest is still a (unscriptural ) priest.
And based on the manifest treatment of such by Rome, these are brethren with Trad. RCs, who unlike us, cannot leave for a faithful church without forfeiting their claim to be part of the one true church. Pitiful.
God Bless 4 Catholic priests!
The Christian Churches communities, including the RCC, NEED to be taken back and CLEANED UP.This also includes a number of Evangelical/Mainline communities.
The Pope bashes POTUS Trump over Climate Change and Immigration over and over again.
The Leftists who support Abortion up to the millisecond of Birth praise the Pope for his Leftist viewpoints.
Then there are the Militant Catholic Bishops that can’t turn down participating in all sorts of Leftist Causes, Marches and Protests.
Yes, I am a Catholic, but my respect for the Pope is equal to my respect for the Clinton’s, Obama’s and any other Traitorous Democrat Commie scum.
This Christian Catholic voted for President Trump. No regrets.
Yea what you said.
Once upon a time there was a particularly venomous anti-Catholic poster here. Turned out she was really a liberal here to show division -- she made the mistake of posting to a different board under the same screen name admitting what a committed liberal she was.
