Do Catholics still support Trump

The experts can only predict, and they have been off before. They will all tell you that consumer and investor confidence is key and look at the stock market and the unemployment rates. Still, there are many economists who think the cuts are a good idea.

The Republicans are not cutting spending, but they are at least slowing the rate of increase, which was off the chart with Obama. It may be the best that could have been done in the first year.

No, I don’t think responsibility for the economy is a generational thing. It’s not like one generation does something and the next inherits it. People across the age spectrum move in and out of the economy all the time, so I don’t feel any special responsibility. I don’t blame my parents for stuff we inherited and we inherited a lot of bad with the good.

Look, the people who like Trump like him. The people who don’t are not going to convince them by spinning arguments on an internet message board any more than it could go the other way.

Another example of a Catholic praising Trump while taking a swipe at the vicars of Christ and successors of the apostles.

And re: ISIS…from what I’ve read he simply left the Pentagon to their own devices. Left micromanagement from the White House. Ultimately a good thing, but not due to his personal strategic brilliance.

I’m curious, what specific thing about your Catholicism kept you from voting for Trump?

I voted for him too, and even though he said crude things about grabbing a woman, has been divorced multiple times, perhaps had discriminatory practices in his businesses, he was much more in line with Catholic teaching than Hillary which was the only other alternative when it came to the final voting.

He has actually done well by Catholics so far, much better than Obama, and most of the Catholics I know support him.

Exactly…Obama didn’t have the confidence and sense to let the Generals accomplish the president’s priorities.

Trump does.

Mattis and some of his peers during the 2004-2008 period made MASSIVE improvements in Iraq in the Anbar province. I was there multiple times under Marine command.

They know what works…Trump picked Mattis. Trump gets the ultimate credit.
 
My vote was a vote for who I voted for.

The charge that “a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump!” by Democrats and “a vote for Johnson is a vote for Hillary!” made by Republicans is hysterical nonsense which was used by both sides in the 2016 election. A vote for Stein or Johnson is a vote for Stein or Johnson.

A vote for the Easter Bunny is a vote for the Easter Bunny, not a vote for Clinton. A vote for the tooth fairy is a vote for the tooth fairy, not a vote for Trump.

You don’t think it’s a sign of the weakness of the argument that it was used by both sides?

A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is the collective voice of the successors of the apostles in the United States…who, as the Catechism says, are also vicars of Christ.
 
Still? I never supported him.

Actually, that’s not entirely true. I almost did. I was ready to support him right up until around the time he declared his candidacy.

I heard him give an interview and he contradicted himself several times and essentially was nonsensical to the point that I realized at that moment that he’s incompetent. I wouldn’t want him managing the local YMCA, let alone the Executive Branch.

Sure do.

Really opened my eyes to where a lot of so called ‘Catholics’ are at when it came to this presidential election and indeed the west as a whole, the amount of slander, corruption and propaganda was unbelievable, and most of it easily comes down to gravely evil things like their love for abortion which as Catholics should be the number one issue when it comes to voting.

We all know Trump and his administration are not perfect, but they definitely are the lesser evil, there is no question about it and those so called ‘Catholics’ who deny this fact and even supported Clinton showed their true colors, total heretics and traitors.

I hope America can turn around under Trump, but really, America, the Church and the west as a whole all hang in the balance at this time if not falling off the edge with their folly of things like same sex marriage. Sin has made the west insane.

After same sex marriage past here in Australia, there is no way I would fight for a sodomidical nation, and there are absolute heretics here who voted for it, and even the prime minister who passed it into law with no protections for no voters claims to be a Catholic, bunch of heretics and traitors.

I would be tempted to fight for America under Trump, but the USA is still a sodomidical nation also, if they turn around and put another Clinton in at 2020, I am done with the west, If they do that in 2020 I will just keep my head down waiting for the west to fall and hope I can make it through largely unscathed.

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

God Bless You

Thank you for reading.

Unless they speak with total unanimity (formal vote) and the head of the US CCB also signs off on some decision, nothing they say is binding.

Nothing.

It’s just opinion and editorial.

And further…it’s the Bishops’ role to only state the criteria and principles for public organs…not opine on whether they will be met with one plan or bill or another.

They teach…they don’t do economic analysis.

If they wander into these more technical areas, it’s the lay’s job to remind them of their limited role.

Exactly, really lets you know where some so called ‘Catholics’ are at, a faithful Catholic could only vote for Trump and Pence or a Third Party in that election, anyone who voted Clinton or supported Clinton were either seriously naïve or are total heretics and traitors.

God Bless You

Thank you for reading.

Heeey whaddya know?

A Trump supporter jumping to the conclusion that because one opposes Trump, that MUST mean they support Clinton.

So much logic.

If someone is not a Christian, someone MUST be an atheist.
 
I’ve never heard of this “Catholic political party”. I’m definitely going to look it up. I would have voted for that third party instead of the constitutionalist third party.
 
The American Solidarity Party.

Google it. There platform is taken straight from Catholic teaching.
 
I didn’t vote for Trump, though I do support him in the sense that I hope he does a good job. My comment wasn’t in reply to opposition to Trump it was in reply to the notion of voting for candidates as long as they say they are anti-abortion. Many people are speaking of voting in regards to preventing budget cuts from various social programs, which would suggest putting economic reform before preventing murder. That is why I sarcastically asked is it better to let children be murdered just to not be a “single issue voter”?
