Can Catholics be Democrats?

Republicans support many things that go against Church teaching as well.
The United States is majority Protestant. It makes our decisions difficult.
You can vote for whoever you want.
 
Most of the GOP is basically 10 years behind the Democrats, they will get there eventually though.
 
Trump’s not a sexual predator. Stop conflating the issue. And if you’re virtue-signaling to the far left, don’t bother. They’ll turn on you in the end anyways.
Yes he is. He admitted to it on tape, and 60+ million of you voted for him anyway.

He also likely paid for multiple abortions, but hey he says he’s pro-life, so that’s cool I guess.
 
I voted for Mike Maturen, a devout Catholic man who ran on a 100% Catholic political platform.

I sleep well at night knowing I voted the candidate who truly represents me and who would’ve been truly good for our country.

I do not believe in the “lesser of two evils” concept, for to do such a thing is to still compromise with evil.

I battle evil with every fiber of my being - I make no compromises with it.

I could not in good conscience vote for Clinton because of her history of corruption and her outspoken support of infanticide, amongst many other issues.

IMO, Trump and Clinton are the worst two candidates we’ve had in my lifetime - and I was born during the Reagan administration.

And that’s fine, but did he have any chance of getting to the presidency? the answer is no.

The time for voting for these individuals I believe is when the republican party and others are deciding who their front runner will be.

Fair enough, but as Dinesh D’Souza pointed out in regards to the abolitionists, this sort of thing can often have terrible consequences. Nevertheless, faithful Catholics can certainly vote 3rd party. Just not Clinton or most democrats.

Only Christ is perfect, so essentially you are already doing it, nevertheless, I understand your point in regards to the big issues.

That’s good.

I was not around in Reagan’s time, but he was a wise and good man from speeches I have heard, would you have voted for him though considering he was divorced and remarried?

Please watch the following if you get a chance, I thought it was very good and sums it up well -


God Bless You

“They let you do it…” he said, that is the “evidence” of sexual assault.

I don’t see anything morally wrong with what you are saying.

I voted for Trump because I thought we could maybe get the Senate to twist his arm to nominate someone to the Scalia seat who was better than what Clinton would pick and because it was either going to be him or Clinton.

I was actually not happy when Trump won the nomination because:
  1. He was, ironically, the media’s choice
  2. It’s any question how much longer he’s going to hold the pro-life line. The real test will be if Ginsburg retires.
  3. The left can use their identarian machine against him, which is doing two things: a) driving people toward ethno-identity, which is not conservative and b) it’s ginning up people who would not normally vote in midterms who are going to turn up in droves in 2018, and they are going their identity over principle, like being pro-life.
I voted for Cruz in the primary.

True, but not really a defense for such comments either. Even if he was being truthful and not just trying to brag and talk untrue vulgar trash to this guy, he should know better and them letting him do it isn’t an excuse except for in a court of law.

God Bless You

Trump gave a list of pro-life judges he would choose from to the supreme court. The other candidate said she would only pick from those who considered roe v wade “settled law” It’s a no brainer.

God Bless

Thank you for reading
 
Trump has been so abysmal, Clinton would have been a much better Chief Executive, but I still couldn’t have voted for her because thousands of babies would have died. She also detests Catholics.
 
What you think JFK and Clinton weren’t sexual predators? Ironically both Democrats…
 
She annoyed me. If I never have to hear her raspy voice and see those stupid pantsuits again I’ll be happy.
 
Well none of us can vote then because both parties go against Church teaching.

What you think Republicans and distributing wealth to only the rich is Church teaching? Or building a wall , is that church teaching?

Say what you want about Democrats. I’m not one.
But Republicans are hipocrites as well.

And yes you can vote for whoever you want. What you follow every single rule the Church teaches? I’m sure you don’t. Even the Pope goes to confession.
 
“Distributing wealth to only the rich…” just where do you think wealth comes from?

1000s of babies are still dying. Abortion is still legal, and will be in many (most I’d wager) even if the SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade. States will decide, and most will have some form of legal abortion. Even if all 50 states make abortion illegal, women will obtain abortions. How about we, as a society, fix the underlying reason women seek abortions? It all starts with the economic standing and prospects. There are other reasons I’m sure, but money is #1.

Besides, the GOP doesn’t want to make abortion illegal. It removes the motivation for millions of single issue voters to remain with them.
 
I don’t believe that is quite true. Abortion clinics have been closing at a pretty good clip since he was elected. Laws making it harder for abortion factories to continue operation have been enacted in various parts of the country. There is definite progress in pro-life areas.
 
If I would’ve been able to vote in all the elections since I was born, this is probably how I would have voted:

1988 Reagan

1992 Bush

1996 Clinton

2000 Bush

2004 Bush
