However, Catholics who attend Mass weekly are still more likely to be Democrats, with 37 percent self-identifying with the party and another 18 percent saying they lean Democrat.

That ANY church-going Catholic could support the party of abortion on demand and homosexual marriage is an absolute disgrace.

I can understand Catholics not being enamored with the GOP. But for so many to be actively identifying themselves as Democrats is a scandal.

Judica me Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.

I know many of these Catholic Democrats, including my mother. They are 'attached' to the party through recollection of the good they did for 'their families' in the past. These are not free thinkers but followers. It is very challenging to persuade them to vote outside 'their' party.

They attend Mass because they believe that their conscience trumps Church teaching. They think that a long as they believe abortion is right they can receive communion. After all they thought about it and now are wiser, more compassionate, and more infallible than the Pope and the Magesterium. They get to be their own Pope. I bet they even put on the kewl hat when at home with family.

Why Christ Himself marvels at their intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who has revealed that tearing babies limb from limb out of the womb can be a good thing. Mind you there is a spirit involved but it sure as HELL ain’t Holy.

These Catholics are the ones who would rather destroy the Church than leave for one that already teaches what they believe.
