“No, the Catholic vote is still dependably pro-abortion liberal. It always will be”

The ignorance on this board concerning the Catholic Church amazes me. Like all other faiths, Church going Catholics vote pro-life, EXACTLY like church going Protestants. The ones that don’t go to church and have no strong faith and collect a welfare check are pretty reliable democratic voters, makes no difference what denomination. The 96% of the black vote that went to Obummer is about 95% evangelical. I was born and raised a Southern Baptist. Five years ago I became Catholic. I didn’t do it on the spur of the moment. I studied for years the history of Christianity and the Church Fathers, and anything I could get my hands on concerning the Holy Scriptures and the Word of God. Anyone that does not believe early Church fathers were Catholic are totally ignorant of church history. Without the Catholic Church there would be no Christianity. Martin Luther was right to want some things corrected in the Church and things were corrected. He never wanted God’s Church to be broken apart. He protested and his followers protested. They are now called PROTESTants. What are they still protesting after 500 years? When I was a baptist I raised hell and told any Catholic I met they were going straight to hell. I knew Catholics back then and never once did a Catholic raise hell at me and tell me I was a no good baptist and I was going straight to hell if I didn’t repent and become Catholic. Why do you think that is? Let me tell you why Catholics don’t put down Protestants? Catholics know the truth and the truth is the Catholic Church. It is the fullness of the christian faith. The majority of protestants are still on a guilt trip and love to rant and rave about Catholics, and false doctrine and the Pope, blah, blah, blah. Why are Catholics so secure in their faith and protestants so insecure? We all know the reason, at least I do. I was baptist for the first 57 years of my life, so don’t tell me I don’t know what I’m taking about. Been there, done that. Peace be with you. I’ll say a prayer for all you Catholic bashers tomorrow at Mass.

Yep, Catholics are overwhelmingly supporters of the left and Protestants support the right.

It is the reality of pro-abortion politics and liberalism in America.

The Catholic vote will remain democrat and liberal forever.

I don't care what some early converts did or believed. I care what Jesus taught and believed. To place man above Jesus and his sacrifice is wrong. The Church history of selling indulgences, setting heretics on fire or selling manufactured "relics" doesn't inspire me to follow a denomination. Our trust must be in God not man.
