"There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an
estimated 50 million Catholic votes to elect a president."
So , 50 million Catholics voted for obama , twice ?
Mike Catholics tend to be Social Democrats. Check out Acts of the Apostles, ch. 2, vs. 42 thru 47 and ch. 4, vs. 32 thru 37. The foundation of socialism. Not really, since it was voluntary to participate or not. Voluntary communal living isn't socialism. . Marx and Engels used that passage to found their brand of socialism and the Catholic Church has done the same thing. Give a politician in any state an inch and they'll take a yard. "It" didn't change. Someone attempting to twist something to their desire doesn't change "it".

It may have been voluntary at the time but like many things it morphed into socialism. Marx and Engels used that passage to found their brand of socialism and the Catholic Church has done the same thing. Give a politician in any state an inch and they'll take a yard. "It" didn't change. Someone attempting to twist something to their desire doesn't change "it". You are right I shouldn't have used "it". I should have said voluntary communal living may have been voluntary at the time but like many things, voluntary communal living morphed into forced communal living (socialism).

Mike I was wheeling a cart full of dirty food trays down the hallway from the cafeteria to the kitchen, at Immaculate Conception School - when I heard JFK had been shot. I thought then, and still believe, my fellow Catholic's would canonize JFK in a heartbeat. I think that solidified the Democratic majority in the Church - and continues to this day. Mark

When thinking presidential politics it is wise to remember a large portion of the Catholic Community in America is Latino.
Ignorance is not confined to uneducated people.

Unfortunately most American Catholics are like most American Jews in that when they vote their secular desires come way before their religious convictions.

...their secular desires come way before their religious convictions. That seems to be the case with most religious people.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I come from a large German Catholic family, my Fathers family was 11 kids, and I have over 75 cousins on my Dad's side, and another 30 on my Mothers. The last Democrat my Dad voted for ( rest his soul) was JFK, and he said till the day he died, he was the last one worth voting for! Of the entire bunch of my cousins, there is not more than 6 libs in the bunch. Ditto for the other Catholic families in the area I grew up in. Don't think the Democrats have as strong of following in the Catholic church as you seem to believe!
