Stunningly refreshing, a Catholic prelate who actually espouses Catholic doctrine. Whoda thunk it
But what if they switch after winning office - the Paul Ryan Gambit?
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the Catholic bishops voted for Obama in 2012. I suspect it was well over 50%. (Of course Romney’s record wasn’t so good but at least he was claiming to be pro-life in 2012.)
It's breathtaking that 40+ years later to use her words that we are even having this discussion.
Abortion was sold to the American public in 1973 with the dodge that "it's only first trimester".
That was crap and they knew it - Doe V. Bolton was argued the same day. But nobody talked about that.
So...really? The House has to pass a bill to prevent doctors from dismembering babies by saying well, we don't want to do this when they can feel pain?
So if we give Grandma a sedative, it's OK to knife her?
One of the Democrats’ most devoted voting bases is the “Catholic” base.
They are Democrats first and Catholics second, putting the Kennedys, Pelosi,the LA crooked pols, the Chicago crooked pols,etc. etc. in office decade after decade. They have the blood of 60 million babies on their hands, and when they die, the Catholic Church buries them with all the royal trappings of the church. So of course, these disgusting hypocrites know that the bishops don’t mean a word they say about abortion.
As Jesus said, “By their fruits, you shall know them.” We can definitely judge them and their church.
Not this Catholic and her family. If you want to see how real, non-famous Catholics live and vote, come on over to Steubenville.
Then I guess I won’t be voting.
I’m sorry to the Cruz supporters here but I’m just not convinced he’s truly pro-life. I need more proof of what’s he’s done while in the senate. And Trump, well, the rape exception in my mind makes him pro-choice. Anyone who supports abortion for any reason is pro choice. I just don’t know what to do.
I’m in PA and my primary is today. But I’ve been so bothered by this that I’m confused and haven’t voted yet today.
About one in four Americans identifies himself as “Catholic”. This means nothing. In 2016, white, non-hispanic Catholics and Asian Catholics who actually go to church every Sunday are overwhelmingly Republican, while black Catholics and white, Hispanic Catholics are at least large minority Republican.
I know fiftysomething Americans who haven't been to church, other than to attend weddings and funerals, since high school, who also say they are agnostic, yet check the “Catholic” box on surveys. I am sick of having people like this thrown up to me as “Catholic voters”.
So don’t vote Democrat for you are thus supporting abortion.
Proof for your citation, please.
Unfortunately, a largely Catholic intellectual movement did not gain a majority following among their co-religionists.
Trump is against abortion. Why don’t you vote for him?
My dilemma is that he says he’s pro life but supports the rape exception.
Reality is that there’s no perfect candidate I guess.
Considered Bernie?
He's the usual preference for self centered snowflakes unable to find a candidate - or anyone - morally superior to themselves.
Funny but I’m not a Marxist. Nor do I think I’m. Morally superior to anyone else. I have my values and priorities and try to vote accordingly.
Inflexibility is not a value. It’s a liability. Staying at home singing hymns and congratulating yourself on your theological purity won’t save one unborn child. Luke 14:5
Don’t let them get you down. I was accused of being a Bernie supporter a few weeks ago because I said something negative, but true, about Dr. Hahn’s wife ; )
Yes, so many of these battles end in disappointment. This one will too. Is it trite to say, select the least disappointing candidate? Because that will always be a better option than making no selection at all.
