Partly because there is still anger at the Republican Party for the despicable way that they treated Catholics in the 1800s and 1900s, and partly because Catholics listened to more than the abortion message - many of them fell for the Democratic platform one more time.

Oh boo hoo!!! Instead of the race card they play the martyr card. And how many Catholics are still alive from the 1800's even early 1900's? And what, exactly, did the Republicans do to the poor babies?

Is there something about the forgiveness that Jesus taught about in His own words (that Catholic claim they hold in such high esteem) that they don't get?

They're still holding a grudge for over a hundred years and that's why they for pro-abortion?

Yeah.....right....

LOLOL. These dumb excuses get more outlandish as time goes by.

The real reason in staring them in the face. The RCC is a top-down authoritarian hierarchy that tells its members what to do and not to think for themselves.

Exactly like Communism.

The real story is that truly conservative Roman Catholics are becoming Protestants. For every one Protestant in the U.S. who leaves his faith, four Roman Catholics leave theirs. And considering Protestants outnumber Roman Catholics by more than two to one, that is an astounding percentage of RCs leaving Rome for the truth of the Gospel.

Your apparent lack of knowledge about your native country keeps astounding me. You have no knowledge about early years of the Republican Party? In spite of the information that we have posted on a regular basis on the reception of Catholic immigrants into the US? The KKK founding on antiCatholicism, not antiblack bigotry? The No Irish Need Apply? The Know Nothings? The false Jesuit oath and the false Knights of Columbus oath that this site has chosen to omit from its threads? The Thomas Nast and other editorial cartoonists, some of which I have posted on FR? You don't know about this? Did you know that 11 out of the original colonies enacted state religions and enforced them upon pain of death? Do you know of the treatment of the Baptists and Quakers, as well as the Catholics in this progressive and tolerant system that you guys keep telling yourselves was so free for religion? Do you know that the 1st Amendment was put into place to stop the persecution and killings by the state religions in the colonies? No? Thought not.

They're still holding a grudge for over a hundred years and that's why they for pro-abortion?

Holding a grudge for over a hundred years? Look at the antiCatholic vitriol published here by you and by your cronies. Now imagine every big city newspaper publishing the same thing. Look at the Presidential candidacy of Al Smith and the filth that he had to endure. Look at what Kennedy had to endure. At the hands of those whose organization that you associate with.

Catholics are less pro abortion than Protestants are - I realize that you miss much of my postings, but I said that Catholics also look at other things as well - and they fell for some of the other things on the Democratic platform. Protestants increased their vote by about the same as Catholics did for the Democrats - it is just that they are slightly on one side of 50% and Catholics on the other side. If you guys voted 80% or 90% against them, you'd have a point. But just scraping past 50% does not make you guys anti Democratic. It just means that more Republican voters in your bloc happened to turn out on election day.

Get over yourselves. Why not put that monstrous intellect to use trying to figure out why nobody in your group is good enough to sit on the Supreme Court?
