The article has nothing to do with Catholics alone. So why turn it into that. That was the point of what I was raising.

One thing about you, you are quite easy to predict. If I ran a Regression model on your behavior, I would get a R-squared of 100%

"Catholics alone" being the point? Just how did the (apparently ) Catholic) poster make it that by commenting " Flocking to where Donald Wuerl would let you take Communion no matter how many abortions you voted for?"

Rather than the poster making the article to do with Catholics alone, it was you who did so, with the typical knee-jerk reaction Catholics so often display when faced with anything negative about their church. One thing about such is that they are quite easy to predict. If I ran a Regression model on their behavior, I would get a R-squared of 100%

You may continue on with your internet ad hoc bible thumping apologetic with someone else. I have told you over and over and over I do not want to discuss anything substantive with you as you

Which is wise, since aside from recourse to ad hominems in lieu of a compelling argument, substantive debate will show that the RCC is a false church, with her distinctive Catholic teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.

. Your last paragraph explains your mentality and mindset regarding D.C. The article said nothing about abortion rates in D.C. nor who the people who are getting abortions in terms of ethnicity or religion yet somehow the all knowing you turned this into a Catholic issue.

My mentality and mindset regarding D.C.? That it is very liberal and overall consistent with the relationship btwn liberalism and Catholics? That Catholics overall are far more liberal than evangelicals, and mainline Prots? No, i am not all-knowing, but we have abundant testimony .

As far as turning this into a Catholic issue, I was following your lead, since it was you who protested a remark, likely due to presuming only a Prot who dare to say something disparaging about Catholics.

As regards "the article said nothing about abortion rates," this is a forum CT, which means people post thoughts relevant to the article, and which the poster whom you attacked did. As can I.

And as regarding the link I made,

In 2014, the highest percentage of pregnancies were aborted in the District of Columbia (38%), New York (33%), and New Jersey (30%). - https://abort73.com/abortion_facts/us_abortion_statistics/

Black non-Hispanic women have the highest abortion ratio. - https://www.bound4life.com/statistics

But only 10% of blacks are Catholic in Washington, D.C. - https://prri.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/PRRI-Catholic-Race-DC-NYC-Philly.jpg

And Catholics are just as likely to get an abortion as other U.S. women. - https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2018/01/24/catholics-are-just-likely-get-abortion-other-us-women-why (More Prots get abortions since there are more, but it is the 5 per person that matters).

Catholics and Orthodox constitute 21% of the whole Washington, DC metro area, vs. 14% evangelicals, and with Prots overall being the Christian majority, while the Unaffiliated/Nothing in particular/Atheists/Agnostics and Non-Christian and other Faiths make up 36%. - https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/metro-area/washington-dc-metro-area/

Thus while my statement is warranted that "I understand that as a RC you might not like to see reported that Catholics increased their share of the population in Washington, D.C.." yet the correlation btwn liberalism and the % of Catholics in areas of the US is not exclusive to them .
