Will pro-abortion protests at Catholic churches effect the upcoming midterm elections for Democrats?
Fox News ^ | May 8, 2022 | Kyle Morris

Democrats are in a difficult position," Burch said. "Their base is clamoring for a full-throated, restriction free, abortion rights policy, yet the majority of voters aren't with them. I think this is another example of Democrats misreading the public and overreaching. They've done it on parental rights, on schools, curriculum, race, and now abortion."

"The leaked opinion is actually a compromise on abortion," Burch said. "It merely returns the issue to the states to work out how to best care for unborn children and their mothers. It imposes nothing. As far as Catholics are concerned, Catholics are very practical voters, which is why many of them swing both of the political parties. I think Democrats need some Catholics in order to win many key races and to the extent that Democrats align themselves with the extreme left, I think they're playing with fire."

Burch, discussing the destruction of Catholic churches over the years, said he believes there will be "universal condemnation among Catholics" regarding the recent vandalism. "Both Democrats and Republicans do not want to see their houses of worship defaced or destroyed or their shrines and symbols destroyed."

Burch also took aim at the Biden administration's response to recent protests targeting the Catholics and their faith, saying it is "shameful that he has yet to say anything against these open threats."

"I think this president has made clear that he prioritizes his political success over his faith," Burch said. "He's done that on policy, and now he's doing it on a very pressing issue, a significant issue, when it comes to threats on the property of Catholic churches."

I would highly think so. People in general like to have a peaceful country to live in, most people avoid strife, shouting, threats! Those who are watching, in the secret ballot place will vote to END all of this. More and more sounds like some Latin American country, like Argentina trying to overthrow a dictator, or Venezuela.

I’m launching a new movement — Make America Literate Again. Tired of seeing people not know the difference between words like “effect” and “affect”.

That being said, the abusive, violent, threatening behavior around the “sacred right to kill babies” really undercuts the Democrats’ already duplicitous story line about the “Terrifying Awful Democracy-Threatening Horrors” of the Jan. 6 Insurrection, doesn’t it?

Only if Catholics decide to vote Republican instead of democrat.

WNY is chock-a-block full of leftist, dem voting Catholics. Church teaching notwithstanding.

Even in CNY, most Catholics I met were dem voting, although there were fewer than WNY.

Almost every Catholic I’ve ever known - and I’ve known a lot, having attended catholic school through Jr high and used to attend Mass not just once a week, but daily - is a Democrat. I don’t doubt that some catholics are conservative and vote for conservative candidates, but I’ve never met one. We were TOLD to vote Democrat by priests and nuns - I recall that clearly. We were also told that Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat, and other things that were blatantly false. The RC church has already gone full-on communist and I don’t see a lot of its membership leaving for that reason. High-profile Catholics in Congress support open borders, homosexuality, abortion. I don’t see Catholic clergy doing anything about that, either. They’re like “Joe B1den is a catholic! Yay, we’re on top!”

Remember: You can’t have your cake and eat it too, catholics. There will always be a reckoning.

The official position of the church is that redistribution of money trumps every thing, and so one should vote for the person who takes money from those who earn it and gives it to lazy, pot-smoking slackers.

The pope set the example by showing his hate for Trump and his warm love for obama and biden.

<>You can’t have your cake and eat it too, catholics.<>

I haven’t read of any vandalism of mainline Protestant churches.

Since they’ve gone to the dark side, homo marriage and LGBTQ, they’re safe from rampaging Leftists.

Yes, there will be a reckoning.

I didn’t claim to be crazy about any church, did I? They can all go suck eggs, as far as I’m concerned. I just like to bug the catholics because of how long they’ve been bugging me. And they do go out of their way to bug me, get me banned from the internet, cause me to lose jobs, stalking me, etc. I didn’t do anything to them to deserve this, they just decided they don’t like me because of some of my opinions.

It’s been going on for a long time. I actually tried to volunteer for Catholic Charities once and considered becoming a nun at one point. That’s when I finally realized: Hey, wow - these people HATE MY GUTS and they want to kill me!

I guess instead of “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too,” I should have said WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, CATHOLICS. That sounds better!

For the most part of demonstrating at Catholic churches and threatening Supremes will have some effect on the vote, but the RATS will be surprised at the backlash. When they support third trimester abortions, they are supporting out and out murder.

Maybe you should see a psychiatrist.

Maybe you should stop bothering people who say things that you don’t 100% agree with and just let it go. That a vendetta is being carried out against me is a fact. Haha, people give me sh1t about it constantly. It’s funny, right?

All the catholics I know aren’t even religious - up to and including my family. They’re just in it for the grift, corruption, and fraud, and probably so they’ll be left alone, some of them, and not have to go through what I’m going through. Seeing a psychiatrist might be a nice idea, but I can’t afford it, since I don’t have a job. Thanks in large part to some catholics who couldn’t let it go and scientologists who have (with great success, I might add) parasitized the church.

The last psychiatrist I saw told me to leave the state. I’m trying to follow his advice.
