If there was stats that said catholics didn’t vote for pelosi, biden or cuomo, I would have a little more respect for the followers..now I am just guessing but they probably do all right on election days with catholic voters...
I know I don’t really need those stats because we have the liberal northeast, with probably the largest concentration of ‘Catholics’ in the country outside of the major cities with latinos in Texas or California.(just guessing).. and those are deep, deep, blue.. every election... liberals are always liberals first...
So something pelosi, biden and cuomo and the like is selling appeals to catholics...
Government handouts.
About 70% of immigrants (regardless of origin) vote pro-abortion. Abortion means so little to the Catholic bishops that they are, with few exceptions, campaigning for expanded immigration.
When Reagan’s tax rate cuts were on the table in the 1980 election, the official position of the Catholic bishops’ conference exposed their narrow, self-centered thinking: They opposed cutting the income-tax rates because doing so would reduce the value of the charitable deduction! Think about that: Never mind property rights; never mind economic opportunity; we want government to continue applying coercion to pressure people to give to us.
There are always exceptions, but on the whole Rome has been appointing corrupt, left-leaning, think-inside-the-box Democrats to lead the Church in America. This is why the Kennedys, Cuomos, Pelosi, and others have been allowed to continue the pretense that they are Catholics. The bishops fear the loss of government money, the exposure of their sex lives, and the wrath of the left-wing establishment.
