Do Catholics wish to be aligned with Obama? With JFK? Aligning with any man, here in the USA at least, is rather absurd.
Then why is it so difficult for his fans to hear any – and I mean ANY – criticism of him?
 
Senators at the meeting did not hear that remark.
Republicans have been using “not that I can recall” since Nixon. Only Republicans have said they did not hear it, and that is about all they say. The gist of the statement was not denied. It is this core, that poor nations are despised as lesser, and the immigrants that are poor are considered less value, that will keep us forever from being great in the eyes of the only one that matters.
 
I don’t know if it was denied or not and you in turn, place an attack on Republicans, no matter, people say things behind closed doors. There seems to be no proof of this. I’m not obligated to believe it.

That’s quite a defense you put up, “I don’t recall hearing that” and there are other people who say the same or similar are not good enough for you. So be it. “Yes, I did not hear that”, I don’t know what one wants as proof.
 
The word used was never my point, so I will repeat without it. Thinking of how God views people, hearing the cry of the poor and the mistreated, it would seem that in the grand scheme the ones dearest to God are those considered in impoverished countries and the least of countries, to God, is the one where the leader turns his nose up at this countries, like the rich man to Lazarus at the gate.
 
I think the question should be turned around. Do Catholics really want to be aligned with the party of death? Do Catholics want to be aligned with the party whose platform becomes more radically pro-abortion with every succeding party platform?
 
Jesus does tell us to trust one another. That’s good enough for me. I believe the Senators.

Likewise, when one makes a point about the poor immigrants and that they are close to God… well, like it or not, it appears some crimes are also committed by immigrants. Serious crimes.

That is not turning the question around, as MAGA is not a synonym for Republican. Turning the question around, or using a whataboutism, would be whether Catholics want to be aligned with abortion. The answer is, of course, heck no.

Crimes are committed by every group, including Trump supporters (Flynn, Manafort, Stone, e.g.) That is scarcely relevant.

There is no need to deny something that has no proof and that perhaps some hostile reporter said.

No. And therein lies the problem. Perhaps if Catholics were better catechized, we would unify and demand a candidate who truly represents the values of our faith.
 
I doubt that we will ever get a candidate from either party who represents the values of our Faith.

I can recall a time when most Catholics were practically Democrats by birth, and our party was pro-life. But then I recall when Ted Kennedy got together with a particular priest to figure out how he could be pro-abortion without losing Catholic votes. That was the beginning of the big switch to a pro-abortion platform.
 
Jesse Jackson use to be very pro-life. Then, I have heard, the financial element of the situation was told to him. I don’t know what it was but I know he changed.

But it’s absurd to think of an actual alignment with a candidate. I like, for example, Marco Rubio or at least, a lot of what he says but I don’t think I could see “Catholics need to align with Marco Rubio” or whatever candidate. If Dr. Ben Carson was running for president, I can see something like holding a sign “Catholics for Ben Carson” but in no way, would this really mean much of a deep allegiance to him.

Carson has a quiet personality, I’d never hold up such a sign for Trump? Why would it be necessary, in the end, it’s back to all of us just being Americans. I have seen a few pictures such as Fill in the blank for Trump but it was not “Catholics”.

Well, on one side we have Democrats who are now pushing for the murder of full grown babies, socialism, and transgenderism.

With President Trump we have a man voted pro-life person of the year and who has given us the greatest jobs numbers since Kennedy was president.

Yes, I will align myself with MAGA. And by the way, in 2020 MAGA is out and KAG is in: "Keep America Great"

“Financial element” is a nice way of saying he would get no help, money or have any position in the US if he did not tow the Democratic party line.

So sad, that a “reverend” would prefer money and going along with abortion to get that money over his calling.
 
Respectfully, I won’t be pointing out how someone might not be the Christian ideal when my own words are not ideally Christian as well. Also, I don’t represent and speak for some homogeneous group of people. Illegal immigrants have as well, committed violence in the USA, if one has some sort of blind spot to these tragedies, perhaps, they can not engage in a discourse.

Its one thing to not be “ideal” and need a little improvement, as we all do, but its quite another to support wholesale murder of children. You as the not-quite-perfect Christian have every right to condemn someone supporting infanticide.
 
Hmmm let’s see…Pro Life President or this…



I’ll take MAGA for the win.

Of course being Pro Life is not just about ending abortion. The liberal left democratic political ideology lays waste to all the life teachings of Jesus as depicted in the five Catholic non negotiables. But if you are Catholic and truly believe that life begins at conception and ending abortion is saving lives then as it stands there should be no question that you should be voting Republican.

I’m amazed but not surprised that people are still clinging to the belief that there are five non-negotiables.
 
I won’t argue the point of non-negotiables, but there is definitely one- thou shall not kill. Period. Womb to tomb, innocent or hardened sinner, we are all made in the image of God.
