Why Do Catholics Vote Democrat?

They are jackasses who don't know any better.
They are under- and/or mis- informed about the discrepancies between Democrat Party Policies/Platforms and genuine Roman Catholic Doctrine and Practice.

Pelosi To Catholic Church: Drop Dead

A recent press conference reminded us that the Democrat media cheerleaders are standing with Nancy Pelosi in telling the Catholic Church to DROP DEAD!

Lost in the news, thanks to John Roberts certification of Obamacare, is the fact that the first major assault on our civil and religious rights will be here on August 1st.

The threat from this bill will cease to be a “potential” menace and become reality when Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ edict demanding the Catholic Church yield to her commands becomes “settled law.”

Her order DIRECTS religious institutions to provide “sterilizations, without any fees or co-pay, to all women with ‘reproductive capacity’–meaning all women who have begun ovulating, including teens.”

Using the National Academy of Sciences guidelines, the HHS says females old enough to menstruate –statistically girls as young as 12 years old – must be part of this group. After August 1, 2012, at their employer’s expense, even teenage girls working in rectories can be sterilized if they seek this procedure.

This means Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, will either provide a sterilization option in the healthcare packages he offers his employees or stand in violation of federal law. Cardinal Dolan, who represents 67 million American Catholics, will certainly become a criminal in the eyes of Barack Obama because he will not follow Obama’s rules for the Catholic Church.

Because this deadline is closing in, Nancy Pelosi, the Chairwomen of the House Democrat Anti Catholic Conference (HDACC) was asked a few serious questions about this outrage during a Wednesday press conference. As soon as she thought one question might be about the legality of the mandate placed on the Catholic Church and other faith based institutions, Pelosi went into high “snarky.”

Pelosi changed the subject to religion and said, “I told you before, let’s go to church and talk about our religion.” When further pressed on the subject, Pelosi continued, “You know what, I told you before let’s go to church and talk about our religion—”

At this point, the assembled Democrat media cheerleaders applauded. Is there any question that our freedom of the press is gone?

    Because the Catholic Church (like most mainstream Protestant Churches) supports social justice.

    And a degree of wealth redistribution, a social safety net, universal health care.

    And they also oppose the death penalty.

    So you think it is "just" to forcibly confiscate one individual's hard-earned funds to reward another individual's sloth? Oh, wait, you're French, of course you do.

    "Un salaud de paresseux" would be better French.

    BTW, the Pope is not French.

    Or am I wrong?

    BTW, kmay, just below, is wrong.

    Christian Democratic parties after WW II created the European social model, together with the Social Democrats.

    jere.ch...: people in countries with a strong safety net clearly suffer less from the crisis.

    For some unknown reason, I can only edit my own comments.

    Any true Catholic is morally and ethically barred from voting for anyone that violates the core teachings of the Church. There is an important distinction between the dogmatic teachings and the disciplines. For example, Abortion is always wrong. Unmarried clergy is a discipline. (there are over 80 practicing married Roman Catholic priests in the US)
    When a person violates the core teachings of the church in a public forum, they cause scandal. The Church defines it this way: "Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. ... Scandal is a grave offense ... Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it ..."

    The "cropping" of the text was to make it easier to read.

    OK, excellent explanation of why a Catholic SHOULD NOT vote Democrat. Any ideas as to why so many do so, anyway?

    I truly hate to use so mundane an example, but I believe it is a lot like supporting your local sports team because your dad supports them. Since the 30's till the mid 60's The Democrat party, especially in the northeast and mid west and west coast more closely modeled the position of the Church. So Catholic families were more inclined to be democrats. Since then I would suggest that it is a case of "our family has always voted democrat, so will I" Without taking the time to actually pay attention.

    This time out, I am hoping that all people of faith see the danger and vote with their belief in God, and not with empty rhetoric.

    Hmmm, you have a point; I hadn't really considered the guilt angle, as it is so alien to me. I've always thought it's pretty stupid to feel guilty for working hard and freely giving the amount I decide (not the "government") to those that I feel are deserving/needful.

    ah..the guilt angle might also explain why Jews vote democratic...Obama is no friend to Israel..just like his policies are in direct opposition to Catholic doctrine...yet they still vote for him...existential guilt, assuaged by inflicting self-punishment in retribution for their own sin-nature...How utterly masochistic!
