there is no such thing as a militant Catholic. Militant people who think they’re Catholic, maybe.
Practicing Catholics, those who know Catholicism, are a small percentage of people who call themselves Catholic. They are joined, by thinking and in formed people, with other practicing religious as a voting bloc.
There is, according to the papal biographer, George Weigel, no Catholic voting bloc any more.
Catholics are misled by western leadership and even misguided clergy.
When they make it their business to know then they practice their faith.
The Pope is aware of this, as were the last two, who wrote extensively on this.
Catholics do not militarily convert, there is a freedom of choice involved, as God gives freedom of choice.
Certainly many on this site. I don't know how many time I've been called a heretic by one merely because I'm an evangelical Christian.

When high-profile "Catholic" politicians can get away with the most evil stances imaginable and still be considered in "good standing" with the Church, it sends a powerful signal. Who's fault is that?
A militant is a person engaged in aggressive verbal or physical combat. It has come to define leftists, communists and others living in free societies who try to profit from aggressive political behavior. There are no militants in totalitarian states.
You are correct that there is no such thing as a militant Catholic. The thing to understand about leftists and evil doers in general, they never show what they truly are. They always lie. Someone who calls themselves a militant Catholic, a liberal Catholic, a Progressive Catholic or a Catholic for “choice” is in reality nothing but a liar.
