The Democrat Party has firmly established itself as the anti-God party. Why any person of Christian or Jewish faith would support it defies the imagination.

“Why any person of Christian or Jewish faith would support it defies the imagination.”

These people may have a family tradition of being religious and they may go through the motions, but they don’t believe in anything their ancestors would recognize as good. What they do believe their ancestors would probably recognize as evil.

This is why they want to flood as many aliens into the country as possible, and do everything they can to avoid integrating them.

The Pope will be releasing a fatwa on Climate Change soon, stating that all good Catholics should support the Democrats, in order to save the planet. Or something along those lines. That should get them back into the fold.

We went to a Matthew Kelly talk here in Tulsa. 3,000 showed, his largest live event by 2.

On of his themes was that the "Culture" doesn't allow the truth, and we Catholics and other Christians need to reclaim the Truth. Reject the culture where everything is relative. He said there are 73 million Catholics in the US, and it takes 65,000,000 to elect a president.

The democRats should be very afraid.

The American Catholic hierarchy will prevent any sizable bloc of Catholic from voting for Republicans. They will divert attention from life and family issues with “inequality” and “social justice”. Don’t take my word for it; they’ve successfully done it for decades. BJ Clinton and Obama were elected by carrying the “Catholic” states...

As Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly pointed out, the Democrat Party relies on a permanent underclass for their votes. However, most of these immigrants are christians who oppose same sex marriage and abortion. The Democrat decision to rely on this group may well be miscalculated.

That would be Romans, chapter 8.

“White Catholics are now identifying as Republicans by historic margins,” she says, and lists the evidence. She cites Pew data showing that 53% of white Catholics favor the GOP....

That's certainly historic. And very very sad to think this is something to brag about, or feel threatened by.

This is nonsense, Catholic is a church denomination, not a race, and whites have been leaving the denomination for decades, while the democrats have been importing Catholics and their offspring by the tens of millions.

White Catholics becoming more conservative is not very meaningful, it would have save the nation 50 years ago, but it is pretty meaningless today.

Hispanics are the wild card in a lot of places.

They are not staying on the plantation, are not easily swayed by race bating, and are starting to become rather active religiously. The LCMS “woke up” and found it had a large number of Hispanic parishes, and the HQ had now idea (the district presidents did, and have made a big push).

Except the Hispanics are not staying in the Catholic church. This confused me, till I talked to a few people from Central America and Mexico. Their bishops were pretty bad.

I think it I mainly libs leaving the church. I don’t see any trend to the GOP in Catholic areas of New England, New Jersey, Maryland, Chicago or any other area where you would expect it except Cajun Louisiana.

I’ve been saying all along that there are more Catholic Republicans than Democrats.

Still wondering about the black Protestants who voted for Obama. She doesn’t go there in her story.
