Catholicism is a wide tent in terms of political and legal positions. We could have nine Catholics on the Supreme Court and a great deal of diversity toward the law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Catholics are every bit as diverse as any other sort of voters out there, with conservative Democrats and moderates.
So often, generalizations don't apply to Catholic voters. Catholics are concerned about the war, the economy, about issues like abortion, issues pertaining to the budget and funding Medicaid and Medicare and what happens to the environment.
I will forever stick up for Catholics and Christians in general. With a small number of very horrible exceptions, they do play by the rules.
It doesn't really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we're not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.
The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion.
I was Catholic. You talk about a minority within a minority within a minority: a black Catholic in Savannah, GA.
I can't bear Catholicism.
My Catholic faith is the foundation of my worldview, and my judicial duty is governed, from beginning to end, by the law.
BC is not going to replace the hierarchy, and BC is not going to lead some major reform in the Catholic Church - that's got to come out of the whole Catholic community.
I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.
