Cardinal Timothy Dolan lamented that the Democratic party has slammed the door on Catholics by opposing religious education and any pro-life stance.

Dolan, the archbishop of New York, made the remarks in a Thursday op-ed entitled “The Democrats Abandon Catholics,” published in the Wall Street Journal with the subheading, “If you value religious education or life’s sanctity, you’re not welcome in the party.”

Shocked it took this long for the divide to be publicly mentioned.

A pro-Life Dem just got renominated for Congress in IL, in a district that is heavily pro-Choice. Democratic Governor of Louisiana is pro-Life. Democratic US Senator from PA is Pro-Life. The pro-Life position is a minority position in the Democratic Party but we do have pro-Life elected Dems.

Barely. And the Democratic Party unabashedly threw their support for his opponent.

Roman Catholics will either bend to the will of the International Socialist New World Order or they will suffer.

That's because their religion of choice to protect is now Islam!

1. Lamb isn't pro-Life. He says he'll vote to support abortion rights in Congress. Given that, his personal opposition to abortion isn't worth anything.

2. Lipinski barely survived a primary challenge, and he was targeted primarily due to his abortion stance.

3. I can literally count on two hands how many Pro-Life Democrats in high office we have. Lipinski, Cuellar and Peterson in the House, Casey, Donnelly and Manchin in the Senate, and John Bel and the Governor of Puerto Rico.

That's 8 out of 260 (counting Angus and Bernie) Governors and Members of Congress. About 3%. Meanwhile one survey said the % of Democrats that are Pro-Life is 22%.

They are bold faced liars and you are either the stupidest fool on planet Earth or you are as much a liar as they are. Which one are you, a stupid fool or fricking liar?

Screw Timothy Dolan.
The Catholic Church, along with the other Christian denominations have no moral high ground. The government has no responsibility to support Catholic or Christian education.

How awful.
What I mean by awful is that priests rape children and the Catholic Church sweeps it under the rug.

How awful indeed...that you conflate Political Parties with actual government. Shocking lack of understanding of what the man said. Which is that the Party-which =/= Government-has no place for Catholics.

But don’t let me stop your hyperbolic posting...

It didn't take him long. As a NY Catholic, I hugely admire and respect Cardinal Dolan. It's no secret that he is one of the most conservative clergy in our Church's hierarchy. There's a lot of talk that he could be the first Pope from America.

When the time comes for Der Staat to abolish the Roman Catholic Church and confiscate all of its wealth, Der Staat will have a carefully crafted list of crimes and abominations to justify the annihilation and your items will be at the top of the list.

Religious education funded by taxpayers goes against the first amendment.

Pro life is essentially anti freedom and based on emotion rather than science.

It's fun being a centrist and picking apart the bullshite from both ends.

You are really going to point to the IL race? The ONLY, and I mean absolutely ONLY reason he won was the pro-life help he got. The democrat baby killers did everything they could to purge him from their ranks.

He walked to March for Life Thursday pre-events begging for his political life.
