Barron published a murky, equivocating commentary on what he describes as the “intense dilemma” Catholics face with regard to their vote.

Hmm. Well, Barron, our Bishop showed up at church last Sunday to tell us that abortion is the absolute pre- eminent issue in regards to voting. Said there is no moral debate that the unborn are the most innocent and vulnerable in society and it is our moral obligation to defend them . I’m sure he angered a lot of Barron /Biden Catholics who are federal employees and teachers at our church.

The church was destroyed from within when Benedict was ousted and Francis was installed.

Most *true* Catholics...true meaning not Kennedy/Pelosi/Biden “Catholics”...reject the current “Pope's” authority. I know little about Pope Benedict but I'm willing to assume that his heart was pure. I know for a *fact* that John Paul II’s heart was pure.

Democratic platform is a Romans 1 platform. Indeed “haters of God”.

What I know about Benedict is that he was JPII’s preferred candidate. That’s enough for me.

>> I know little about Pope Benedict but I'm willing to assume that his heart was pure. <<

Well, I very clearly remember being on FR during his entire papacy, and I didn't see a SINGLE positive post about him from any protestant FReeper during that time. Mostly they'd just mock how old he was, call him "nazi pope" because Benedict had been forced to join Hitler Youth when he was a young child, and post memes comparing him to Darth Sideous.

Now, they retroactively claim they "liked and respected your LAST Pope"

Reminds of me leftist DemonRats retroactively insisting they were "anti-war" when Clinton was bombing aspirin factories.

One of the pathetic paradoxes of this country is that if you want to live in a “Catholic” culture, the first thing you should do is get the hell away from any place that has a lot of Catholics.

The ten states with the highest Catholic populations (measured as a % of the total population) are:

1. Rhode Island
2T. Massachusetts
2T. New Jersey
2T. New Mexico
5T. Connecticut
5T. New York
7T. California
7T. Illinois

Meanwhile, the states where Catholics comprise less than 10% of the total population include:

Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Mississippi
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Utah
West Virginia

Notice a trend here, folks?

“The church was destroyed from within when Benedict was ousted and Francis was installed.”

The Church was neither destroyed nor can it be. That is Biblical promise from Jesus Christ.

What Protestants thought about Benedict is a separate issue. What’s at stake here is the Catholic vote, and how Francis’ minions and the world press are influencing low-info and left-leaning catholics.

Donald Trump is totally incompetent at running the executive branch, a coddler of dictators, and an excuser of the Chinese genocide of Muslims. He gives comfort to racists and has lived his life as a disgusting sexist. I agree with Bishop Flores of Brownsville, Texas that his immigration policies constitute cooperation with intrinsic evil. He is now so associated with pro-life, anti-abortion activism and religious liberty that it will take decades for these movements to recover, particularly among young people.

It's more important to make sure that Joek Biden and Kammy Harris install Satanist atheist federal "judges" who will order Catholics to sodomize their own children on the very altars of their churches.

"An anonymous Federal judge-president from the district of Lower Bugtussle today made a nationwide ruling that Catholics must convert their churches to temples devoted to Ba'al and Moloch. And commence sacrificing their children on the brazen blood-stained killing slabs."

Stark comparison:

never Trumpers is an accepted term, but birthers is not.

Especially when only one of them supplies evidence.

Pro-life, pro-Israel, pro-God, pro-Constitution, pro-justice.

That leaves only one choice for president.
