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.
Move to a better neighborhood, you would be very hard pressed to find anyone in my parish who supports the Dems.
