I am a Roman Catholic who attend Mass every Sunday. Here is what I hear from fellow Catholics who vote Democrat:
1) Without the federal government, too many people would not be able to feed themselves.
2) Social justice is part of the Catholic teachings.
3) The democrats are the only party that protects the little guy.Christ would vote Democrat.
4) The GOP will cut Social Security and Medicare.
5) The GOP is the party of war.
6) We must work together to assist a fellow man. The GOP is the party of selfishness.
7) The democrats care about the environment. The GOP cares about oil. We must take care of God’s earth.
8) Only the democrats will continue funding education.
9) GOP is a party of racists.
10) Too many protestants in the GOP.
These folks NEVER mention abortion probably because to are pro choice.
Almost EVERY Catholic Democrat I meet is a government worker or retired on SS.
These folks probably never listen to the Gospel regarding being judged as an INDIVIDUAL rather then a collective.
Yes, I have confronted many and NO I will not leave my Church.
I will battle peacefully even if I’m the last conservative Catholic left.
I am to the right of General Patton, and I agree with you about feeling alone as a Conservative Catholic.
Thankfully, you are not the last conservative Catholic... My wife and I, and many of our churchgoing friends are conservative Catholic. The Democrat Catholics you describe are real and very scary. It is like they were born Democrat and have to die that way. They almost look at politics as some may view local sports teams. They root and cheer no matter how bad the team is! Some are true fanatics. There is a lot of work to do… sigh.
Just goes to show how undescerning Catholics are. They are undiscerning in their politics, as well as doctrine. The doctrinal deception is the reason for their political deception. When you do not understand and know the real Christ of Scripture, the foundation is faulty. According to Jesus, it’s built on sand instead of rock.
Yes, yes, yes, you are so right.
I had an argument with a friend, who attends Mass weekly, sometimes even daily who will vote once again for Obama and all the Democrats on the ballot for the very reasons you listed.
I brought up abortion and got no reaction, no response except that the Republicans hate the poor, hate women and will take from them all the things the Democrats have given them.
“I would not have a job helping the poor if it wasn’t for Democrats!” she declared.
I asked her, “Why do you have to have a job from the government to help the poor?”
No response, and since then I haven’t spoken to her though we always smile at each other when we happen to meet.
Sad, sad, sad.
