documents didn't bother them. Now they are upset at a cartoon he posted.

My Irish ancestry were potato farmers and they sure produced a lot of Catholics that knew trump was garbage all along.

My Catholic grade school brought in Maryknoll sisters, teaching us about our obligations to the poor. I learned about liberation theology. I learned about the assassination of Archbishop Romero on altar. I learned about a former priest, calling attention to the School of the Americas. I learned about nuns who protest against the death penalty.

I learned that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, and for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I learned that we were all here to love God and love each other, and that all people are children of God, and therefore deserve to be treated as our brothers and sisters.

It isn’t perfect, but I don’t see any point in pushing people away based on their religion.
As far as I know, the only two Catholic presidents we ever had were both Democrats: JFK and Joe Biden.
So why in the world would we want people to think that there’s something wrong with being a Democrat if you’re a catholic or vice versa?

The mem was just the latest in a long line of disgusting immoral acts. It's also more than just a mem. It makes the fact that he's so narcissistic and demented that he sees himself as Jesus, perfectly clear, and this deranged being in charge of this country .

If you had done all the vile things he did from childhood to today and still managed to be president twice, wouldn’t’ you think you’re gawd?
Blame the assholes and the system that facilitated his rise to power.

Just not good people.

Many of us have spoken out about him since he first came on the political scene, and have also been astonished at the way some people have followed and defended him under the guise of their religion.

We have been witness to an escalation in his demented acts, and this meme is (as you said) the latest in a long line. In my belief, it is complete and utter blasphemy. Taking it down or trying to explain it away did not erase the fact that he felt confident enough and egotistical enough to put it up in the first place. That is what the real issue is.

Shame on him and anyone who makes excuses for him doing this.

He lied, of course, trying to sane-wash his vile behaviour by claiming he was portraying a "doctor".

Because ALL "doctors" dress like this:


Latest sneak preview of the hit show "The Pitt" !!!!

Now, let’s get to work.

....money taken away for child cancer research didn't disgust you?

AIDS meds?
FOOD?
Helping the Homeless?

Religion has failed.

It's just that it's a great way to play the MAGA-cult because it rings all of their bells. To put it another way, it's another one of Chump's dog whistles, and he has so many that he gets confused.

Are American Catholics really that stupid? REALLY?

59% of Catholic voters in the US cast their ballots for Trump in 2024, according to the exit polls.

or against a candidate because of one issue, independent of whatever else the candidate does or says and even if those things go against everything they believe in.

For those Catholics, the issue was, and is, abortion.

If Adolf announced he was returning to take over, he would lose but if he also said, he was against abortion, those Catholics would vote for him, provided his opponent held the opposite view.

...and like every other issue, when and if you can have a calm rational discussion that fills in the whole picture, they realize they actually want privacy between a doctor and patient and support abortion for reproductive emergencies, reproductive unsustainability, incest and rape!

I asked one Catholic woman voter about why in the heck did she vote for Chump when she knows all this. She said, she believed all the propaganda from the other side.

You a're not marrying the candidate.

even easier to believe in.

Gullible is gullible.

believe but how you act. Biden believes in that same "stone-age invisible god" as you call it, but his acts show he thinks about what is right and wrong.

Not every person of a race, creed, sex, or nation is a carbon copy of the others. Stereotyping is part of why we are in the mess we are in. Not every Catholic or person of faith is a tsf supporter or one issue voter. Just like not all citizens of the U.S. voted for tsf.

NEVER found anything appealing about him.

I still don’t quite understand what anybody ever saw in him.

...created by reactionary Catholic billionaires (Tom Monaghan et al.), e.g. EWTN, Relevant Radio, Ave Maria Radio/Ave Maria anything, National Catholic Register (not to be confused with the National Catholic Reporter). Those media organizations push hard-line reactionary "thought" 24/7, and appeal to the paranoid, brittle psychology of those who wish to "escape from freedom" and become slaves to a theocracy.

And therefore, wondered how many ex-Catholics there are in total so l checked (it might be 13% of adult US but that was an AI search) and they don't track how the ex-religious people vote.

Your question got me thinking though so I also searched on how all the other religious voters voted and found this.

Not stupid, but misinformed. Glued to Fox News.

The stereotyping pile on is going a little too far these past few days.

There are more than one root cause for the abomination that is Trump.

Religion failed, but it was joined by the traditional press, the media/TV outlets, the entirety of the GOP, Congress abdicating its role, and many more entities.

In short, we are in this mess because of the systemic failure of our entire government and can't get back to level without a MASSIVE correction and shift. We have one last chance in November to mimic the Hungary election results and stop this insanity.

"I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me."

But we hear nothing about:
* Thou shall not kill.
* Thou shall not commit adultery.
* Thou shall not steal.
* Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
* Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife.
* Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.

That is all

He's broken all ten.

But I've actually been upset at Trump even before he went down the Golden Escalator in 2015.

So that's the status quo.

I remember thinking what a self aggrandizing man child, he was when he lost out on buying the Buffalo Bills in 2014.

He’s such a solid, trustworthy character otherwise…

I recognized him as a con man when he first got into national news with some interview a long long time ago.

I am numb, I must admit, to the things he does. It doesn’t increase my outrage. That limit was reached the 1st time he ran for president.

the answer is his anti-Catholic comments AND all of the above — my Catholic moral formation being an important factor here.

And despite all the disgusting thing he said on that tape all these Christian’s adored him and followed him like he was the new Jesus. There was no logical explanation on how these “Christians” were so enamored by him.

And I don't think that's as huge of a leap asI would like it to be.

long before this.

...just sayin.

They are the symbol minded among us

Mahalo!

it's MIND-BOGGLING what "offends" them and what does NOT

Give a damn about what Trump did.

can be wrong at the same time..How 'bout not browbeating those who, at this point, are focusing on one?

Is there a way for them to stop being so slow-witted?

And feeling that Trump is challenging the pope himself and trying to insert himself in heirachy above the pope, who is the vicar of Christ. Trump has never had morals, but he hasn't tried to exert himself over Christianity before. Now he's meddling with the church.

What's next? Will he go to war against the Vatican?
