Actually, I think we are fortunate that Trump has appointed who he has so far.

I agree absolutely. He did great.

And there are five (really six now) key issues Catholics should consider.

I actually consider a lot more than that, and each one has its own nuance. For example, it was totally legitimate to vote for Trump, even if he is not the best moral choice on life issues, based on elect-ability.
 
You’re saying that the last guy that trump nominated for the DC district court who had no law knowledge was a good choice?

The man withdrew
 
Those that support Trump are obsessed with him.

I remember last year when Pope Francis made the remark that Trump wasn’t Christian how Catholics on here called the pope out. They said that he wasn’t suppose to get involved with our politics.

But yet, I remember when pope JPII got involved in El Salvador with the killings that they had and the war that was going on, how collectively we applauded that. He (JPII) spoke out against the government of El Salvador. Why didn’t we speak out against JPII? 🤔

Or, when the same JPII played a pivotal role in the fight against the fall of the Berlin Wall, he spoke out against governments. Why didn’t we as a whole speak out against JPII? We applauded that, but condemned Francis for his Trump remarks .

You know what it is? Republicans here are hypocrites

If I heard Trump talk about forcing himself on my wife, he’d be lucky if all I did was sock him.

I agree. I can cut him some slack though considering it was in word and not deed, he apologized and the alternative.

I can support what Trump does now as President and loathe what was said on that recording several years ago and I do.

Thank you for reading.
 
Why would you need to pray for that poster? Some conservatives republicans here, have posted that they would carry a gun and not be afraid to use if a liberal came to them protesting,

Shouldn’t you pray for that same, Trump conservative republican supporter?

Which is exactly why America can breath a collective sigh of relief that B Clinton isn’t going to be anywhere near young interns again on our time.

That was funny. He too is one who I think lacked the character required for my vote, Republican or Democrat. He was controlled by his lusts and a constant liar.

But whether you support Trump or not can we say a prayer for him as much as we can.

See, that too is something I can agree with.

Okay, like it or not America is a two party system. A realist and pragmatist realizes there are only two options in an election. Don’t tell yourself something that isn’t true, a vote for anyone but Trump was a vote for Hillary.

Like I said, I do not believe this. I consider it stupid math, and I question why you keep posting the same thing over and over again. There is an underlying false assumption that everyone who voted for someone besides Trump or Clinton would have voted for Trump, not Clinton, had they chose to commit.
anon65111186 said:
Unless your conscience and moral principles involve having Hillary win, a vote for anybody but the only other option (Trump) is not a principle, it is an excuse.

Furthermore I consider this sort of statement an attempt to bully others, especially since you keep repeating it. So I will make this simple. Show where the Church agrees with you on this whole two party thing, say, through a voter’s guide or some other statement, or quit trying to force other Catholics to your own, mathematically, logically wrong, opinion. I have to put up with this garbage at election year. I have made it a point not to pull this sort of sanctimonious, “this is the Catholic thing” with you. Please give the same courtesy,

Or quote the Church to prove me wrong.

He deserved to be called out, not only was it a false narrative spread by fake news but there was also no words over the mass murder of the most innocent which the other candidate not only calls women’s rights and health care, but sought to expand and subsidize, so whose the real hypocrite.

Then you turn around and applaud the hammer and sickle crucifix, so whose the real hypocrite. not me.

That’s not what Pope Francis said. He said, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” I trust the Pope is quite capable of knowing he cannot actual judge another’s soul. He has made that clear as well. He was referring to the action, the attitude.

Not another soul, but teaching yes, that is why we have a Pope. And when asked about same sex marriage, … instead he washed his hands of it like Pontius Pilate.

Unbelievable. I am a little in shock, and more than a little miffed. You should read Amoris Laetitia and try being a student.

“For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world, indeed.”

Mind explaining the math? I want to understand you.

Did you believe your third candidate Jeb was going to win? Yes or no?

I am not trying to bully you, I apologize if you take it that way. I am telling you it seems like you are excusing yourself from not voting for someone who on the issues indeed matches up more with Church teaching than Hillary. This is my perspective take it or leave it, I’m just telling it like I see it.

There was no chance that Jeb was going to win so you practically threw away your vote, he didn’t even win the nomination.
