I think we agree that the numbers show that too many people who self-identify in polling as Catholic vote for Democrats. We put that to rest a long time ago.
The deeper issue is why you, a non-Catholic, spend so much time on threads discussing Catholicism as it relates to politics. Once in a while, I could understand -I agree that the collective voting habits of self-identified Catholics are a problem.
But I was curious yesterday, so I took a look at your posting habits. The truth is, I really haven't posted much to FR lately, so I was surprised to see your name pop up on this thread. No, "surprised" isn't really the word. "Concerned" is closer to what I felt.
You spend a great deal of your day (hours and hours, really) on FR, which is fine. But you get into it every day, without fail, with someone, on a subject relating to Catholicism -which is, frankly, weird.
This is clearly no a passing interest for you. It is an obsession. Now, as you point out, this is a political forum, so I could understand your involvement in these types of threads if Catholic voting patterns laid significantly outside the norm (they don't). Or if FR was full of nothing but Catholic political threads and you had no other outlet for your interest in politics, but it isn't. You have many options, but you choose to troll Catholic threads to voice your disapproval of the behavior of people who are clearly not practicing Catholicism but choose to identify as Catholic for political purposes. As I said, it's weird. It suggest a deeper issue, one that I think you would be better off dealing with directly.
Let’s pretend that you were a pro-life conservative, on a forum for conservatives.
Now look at your thread topic, a famous pro-abortion Catholic, democrat politician dies and is given his media rich burial by the Catholic church.
So naturally the topic is the democrat party and voting and abortion and the Catholic vote and how it all connects to the Cuomo and his burial, right? No, look at your posts, you never wanted any of that to come up, much less be discussed or evidently even known.
It is impossible to discuss Cuomo as a Catholic and wrong on abortion, without discussing that he was a leader in the party that most Catholics vote for and that most Catholic politicians belong to.
Look at my posts, and then look at your posts, mine are relevant and fit a conservative, pro-life political forum, yours don’t, in fact, a pro-abortion liberal could be praising what you are trying to do on this thread.
