Define Catholic.

It seems the majority of our world deserves what Corona is going to do to us.
Is this believable or does this seem like a poll with a purpose?
The extra fillip of legal under almost all circumstances makes it “too good for the Left” to be true.
I thought The Church was supposed to tell them what to think about this issue.
ML/NJ
It’s a push poll, and hopes to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Im Catholic, and have to say most of these people make me sick!
Evangelical is quite appealing at the moment!
Let me see, my faith has a Marxist Pope, and the rank and file seem to not have a big problem with killing an innocent- WOW!
Nancy Pelosi catholics for the purpose of this poll more than likely
Oh, kiss my ass.
I have no use for the Church anymore.
“Let me see, my faith has a Marxist Pope, and the rank and file seem to not have a big problem with killing an innocent- WOW!”
Maybe it is they who have left the Church, and those who try to remain faithful who are the remnant.
Its been a long time since I've heard a sermon on the evils of abortion, although there are frequent prayer intentions for ending abortion.
Remember the Spiritual Works of Mercy?
Remember the "Church Militant"?
Familiar with the concept of "Spiritual Warfare"?
You seem to be in a posture of preemptive surrender.
Well, baptized as one is a real basic start.
After all, the FRomans keep telling us that *Once a Catholic, always a Catholic* and baptism leaves an indelible mark on ones soul.
So there you have it. 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide, whether they practice or not and whether they want it or not.
Based on my one on one conversations with very active, practicing, church attending and supporting Catholics, this is no surprise.
Every last one of them that I worked with or was related to or lived near, vote democrat/liberal.
When asked why they do in light the church teaching, it's because *the democrats are for the poor*.
Yup that was the answer right to my face.
I also recently heard form my 90 year old Catholic neighbor that gay wedding were fine with her and as far as abortion, it was *I know what the church teaches but the church doesn't have the right to tell a woman what to do with her own body*, said this mother of 6 children.
I can literally count on one hand the number of Catholics I have met in real life who are conservative and will not vote dem.
That is very sad.
My Italian catholic family would not be at home in your parish. They are weaning themselves from the Dems but would never support abortion past the very earliest weeks. My 101 year old aunt is a string Trump supporter.
sorry, strong Trump supporter.
The Church can talk all day long about the subject ... its up to the people to listen and act.
Move to a better neighborhood, you would be very hard pressed to find anyone in my parish who supports the Dems.
