I’m saying that you guys are just talking but not really doing nothing about your pro-life claim.

You claim your pro-life but your actions seem to be quieted.

What do hard to understand

Yes, MB, I think it is quite plain what you are sayiing. You have leveled this baseless charge against many posters here. It is not hard to understand. The noisy bell and the clanging symbol are easy to discern.

But like Paul in your crew refused to listen to that father and rejected that homily

No, MB, you are making assumptions and baseless accusations. The truth is that you do not know how many of us actually listened to or agree with that homily. But more concerning, those that may not agree with it you seem to be lumping into and “anti Christ” team.

Did you vote? For who

What makes you think this question is appropriate? Even if it were, who would want to answer it if they knew you were about to pounce on them with disparaging remarks if you did not agree with their choice?

Why even vote if your voted 3rd party?

Many posters have explained their rationale to you, and you have rejected it, or maybe you don’t understand it? Either way, if you really are willing to be educated on this, perhaps sometime you can go back and read the answers in the thread without focusing on pouncing on those who answered the question.

It appears any behavior that is not the same is yours is quite inexcusable!
 
I’m “almost” Catholic. I’m in RCIA right now but I’m very well schooled on Catholic teachings.

I support Trump in most of his policies. Like all of us he is a flawed human but I do think he was 1000x better than his opponent.

As far as the argument that him slashing medicaid/CHIP/etc as being un charitable, the government doesn’t do anything charitable. Every dollar the government gives out to the poor was taken from someone else. We’re told to go feed the poor, clothe the naked, and help the sick. Not vote for a government to do it for us.

I’m glad to be getting to keep more of my money in my pocket after the tax cuts take effect, and I’m also glad the economy is booming under his presidency. I sell semi trailers and across the board my customers are reporting more freight, higher freight rates, and increased revenue. Everything in this country is on a truck at some point. The more freight that’s moving the more economic activity there is. It’s a good wind vane.

What a great Rcia class you have, very very good comment.
Be very careful of negative influence.
Your gong to be great and welcome to the Church. Very proud of you
 
I agree with you. I am Catholic; did not vote for him; I did not vote for Hilary Clinton. I voted for someone who I knew would not win but who did not compromise my whole Catholic conscience.
 
I have the added benefit of also having gone to Catholic schools most of my life despite my family not being Catholic. My dad liked the more strict discipline compared to public schools
 
I’m curious who you voted for then. Because pretty much every other candidate was extremely pro abortion.

I have come to the conclusion, and I mean no disrespect, that you are actually unable to comprehend what other posters are saying.

It seems you are parroting lines that you have heard or read, but don’t understand. All you do is insult others and show yourself incapable of engaging in discussion.

I’ve asked you three or four times on this thread for you to provide proof of blanket pronouncements you have made, and you have not been able to. At this point, we all know your position on this subject. Unfortunately, you haven’t been able to defend it.
 
Fair enough. I assumed Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, didn’t think of a write in
 
Personally, I am glad when I hear someone who claims to be Catholic and says they support Trump because, as far as I’m concerned, it makes it clear to me that this person cannot be trusted to talk on any spiritual matters and I get a pass to ignore them for the rest of my life. Kind of a spiritual filter, if you will.
 
That’s an interesting take. What specifically has he done that makes him incompatible for a Catholic?
 
The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The rest of you who voted were 5 million and you guys watched grin the sidelines
 
Well here’s one for people that think his immigration policies are anti catholic, as a sovereign nation foreigners do not have an inalienable right to come to this country, they get to come here on our terms.

"Man’s relations with foreigners are twofold: peaceful, and hostile: and in directing both kinds of relation, the Law contained suitable precepts: … First, when foreigners passed through [the Jew’s] land as travelers. Second, when they came to dwell in their land as newcomers. And in both these respects the Law made kind provision in its precepts: for it is written (Exodus 22:21): “Thou shalt not molest a stranger”; and again (Exodus 22:9): “Thou shalt not molest a sojourner.” Third, when any foreigners wished to be admitted entirely to their fellowship and mode of worship.

With regard to these, a certain order was observed. For they were not at once admitted to citizenship: just as it was law with some nations that no one was deemed a citizen except after two or three generations, as the Philosopher says (Polit. iii, 1). The reason for this was that if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people. Hence it was that the Law prescribed in respect of certain nations that had close relations with the Jews (viz., the Egyptians among whom they were born and educated, and the Idumeans, the children of Esau, Jacob’s brother), that they should be admitted to the fellowship of the people after the third generation; whereas others (with whom their relations had been hostile, such as the Ammonites and Moabites) were never to be admitted to citizenship; while the Amalekites, who were yet more hostile to them, and had no fellowship of kindred with them, were to be held as foes in perpetuity: for it is written (Exodus 17:16): “The war of the Lord shall be against Amalec from generation to generation” (Summa Theologica I-II, Q. 105, Art. 3)."
