If I understand the tenets of the Catholic faith correctly, and not being Catholic I don’t pretend to know them fully, I do not understand how a Catholic in good conscience could vote for any democrat. Not under the current democrat party, the party which is atheist/communist in all but name. They may not like everything about conservatives, but there is nothing about conservatism that is directly opposed to the basic tenets of their faith.
So maybe its all just lip service for them. Hey, Bingo game starts at 9:00! Tap the keg!
I don’t get it either.
The wife of a good friend sees herself as seriously Catholic. Yet she is a flaming socialist, gung ho for unlimited government funded abortions with no parental notification for minors. And she laments the fact that the Vatican doesn’t sell everything and give the money to 3rd world countries.
Her facebook page posts are 50% Love Obama / Love ObamaCare.
I am a Catholic. Unfortunately within our ranks we have a lot among us who are big time liberals and big government and union activists.
Recent voting patterns in the US do show however, that racial identification, more than anything else, determines voting behavior. In the last presidential election, 59% of white Catholics voted for MR over BHO, nearly identical to the overall white vote. BHO won the overall “Catholic vote” because 3/4 of all Hispanics voted for him. Hispanics now account for about 1/3 of all Catholics in the US.

I wonder the same thing about the Jews. Like the Catholics, the Jews vote liberal RAT, despite the fact that it flies in the face of Judaism. And so it is with a lot of our so-called “mainstream religions.” So much to say they are “drawing near to Him with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him.”
