most white Catholics do vote Republican

i'm guessing the Latino contingent likes the promises of free healthcare and other social support, so they mostly vote Democrat

but this is a very important point - when the pollsters say Catholic a huge amount of that is lapsed Catholics who never go to church but still call themselves Catholics. when you take those out, the believers do support Trump strongly.

As a Catholic, I'm equally perplexed. Those who do are hypocrites and commies, and belong in Gitmo with the commies and terrorists they support.

I think it's lunacey that they vote democratic. My wife's cousin always shouts how catholic she is. But fully believes in a woman's choice for abortion, transgenderism, socialism. When she should be saying it's God's choice, not a woman's. But she also is a heavy drinker and self proclaimed crazy woman.

Religion has become a shiny medal for people to flaunt and virtue signal with. While not perfect, a real adherent would probably make other choices and not always bring up their faith so irreverently.

Local priest has stated definitively that you cannot be a Catholic and vote Democrat given their stance on abortion. If our current pope wasn’t the anti-pope, Joe Biden would have been excommunicated.

The "Catholics" that do so are either grossly uninformed voters who still think the Democrat party platform is the same one their parents/grandparents voted for, or they are people who may have been baptized and raised Catholic but abandoned/apostatized/don't practice their faith, but STILL call themselves Catholic. Among faithful, actual Catholics, I'd say that most of the informed and based ones are pro-Trump. Informed being a key component.

Source of knowledge: I am also Catholic and based.

This faithful priest breaks it down why you CANNOT be calling yourself Catholic and a Democrat at the same time in the present day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-7eoTN2vNM&t=3s

Unfortunately there are a lot of non practicing Catholics who live secular lives but will still identify as Catholic. Although their are some pro-choice voting practicing Catholics, the majority of us vote pro-life. I still believe the Catholic vote will go strong for Trump this time.

I guess it’s the same thing as American Jews voting Democrat for people that hate Israel. WTF the last guy gave pallets of cash to the Iranians and Palestinians

I know practicing Catholics voting for Biden. When you try to talk to them they just fall back on orange man bad and refuse to go further. Extreme cognitive dissonance.

Why would so many of the leaders of same church molest children?

There aren’t many, it’s just widely publicized in an attempt to delegitimize the largest Christian sect. It is less efficient to attack smaller denominations because they have far less hard power and very little in the way of a public image beyond a general idea. Current pope actively tried to cover up allegations and shield potential pedos, you may have noticed that this news didn’t make much headway in the news. This is because he is widely believed to be the anti-pope.

Regardless, public school teachers are colossally more likely to be pedophiles than priests, something like a factor of 100x more likely if I recall correctly.

sorry for the source, but images live where they live i didn't get to be picky

Catholic churches are predominately in the Northeast corridor, Pittsburgh and Eastern Ohio, and the cities around the great lakes

Catholics will always talk more about compassion and service, Protestants will talk about responsibility and discipline ... those abstract ideals are acted upon by political propaganda more than facts, and will often override any policy that might steal a religious person away from their religions preferred political party

that being said, we aren't talking in absolutes... it's not like Democrats win the Catholic vote 90-10 or anything like that... everything in this country is somewhere between 50-50 and 70-30 (except for race, which is prone to the fuckery of big city political machines stuffing ballots in under-voting black neighborhoods) unless you control for geography

Most people practicing Catholicism are “Cafeteria Catholics” who like to pick and choose what parts of the religion should be followed.

"Seamless garment" Catholics can justify voting for nearly anyone or anything.

"Sure, he eats infants for dinner, but he supports universal heath care, which Jesus Himself wanted for everyone even if He never exactly said so."

Cardinal Tobin is hardly the only Church prelate supporting this kind of twisted logic. The Church is crawling with stupid and evil leaders.

Bc those ones are “cultural Christians” that don’t ready/study the Bible. They likely aren’t Christians at all outside of going to church on Sunday (scratch that, I doubt they even go to church regularly)

Watch Church Militant to find out. It has to do with the Bishops and being infiltrated by_____. Watch their news to fill in the blank. No it is not those who shall not be criticized.
