re: How can a Catholic or a Jew be a Democrat?

this exactly.. same with most cultural christians whose image of god is an old white dude in the sky that loves america, hates gays, muslims and most women. culturally a christian, nothing christian in daily practice. completely disregards the actual challenging teachings of christ himself; to not covet, not allow money changers in the temple, forgive, care for the widow, orphan, etc.

How so? Do Muslims promote LGBTQ and women in leadership?

All of the most famous American Muslim politicians are women. The real answer is Islam is itself a political group whose mission is to take over control of the country and institute sharia law. The Democratic Party allows unfettered immigration for other Muslims, hates Christians so support any group in opposition, props up Muslims because they see them as a protected class, destroy the true teaching that this is a Christian country through the education system, and create chaos so westerners lose hope and unity, allowing Muslims to slip in a grab more control.

They love being controlled. The Jews amaze me because they are talked about like dogs by the Dems yet they fall right in line like good cattle.

I can't speak for Jews but being Catholic prohibits you from being a member of the church. So most of the Bishops and Cardinals should be excommunicated!

This statement makes zero sense....

You seem to have forgotten that Donald Trump received the majority of the Muslim vote in the 2024 election, particularly in Michigan.

Marxism/Bolshevism/Communism (and thus the Democrat Party) were created by Jews.

1. Marxism/Communism were not “created by Jews”
• Karl Marx was born to a family of Jewish origin, but:
• His father converted to Lutheranism.
• Marx was hostile to religion, including Judaism.
• His ideas came from German philosophy (Hegel), British economics (Smith, Ricardo), and French socialism — not Judaism.
• Ideas do not belong to an ethnicity. Marxism is a philosophical-economic theory, not a Jewish doctrine.

Many non-Jews were foundational:
• Friedrich Engels (non-Jew)
• Lenin (non-Jew)
• Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro (all non-Jews)

?

2. Bolshevism was not a Jewish movement
• The Bolshevik leadership was overwhelmingly ethnic Russian and non-Jewish.
• A minority of early revolutionaries were Jewish — proportional to urban literacy rates — but:
• Jews were not united in support of Bolshevism.
• Most Jews in Russia opposed Bolshevism or were politically neutral.

For most people, religion has no bearing on their politics

What?

Perhaps what you should have said is

quote:

---

Outside of the South, the religion of Christianity has no bearing on politics

That seems highly specific, arbitrary, and made up.

Here is a better specific, non-arbitrary, definition:
One who says they're Catholic, but does not:
1. attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation
2. confess your sins at least once a year.
3. receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season
4. observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church
5. provide for the needs of the Church
6. believe all 255 dogmas

How can Catholics be republicans?

---

This is why Catholics historically have been Democrats

quote:

---

Care for the poor and marginalized - by taking away their affordable healthcare

---

.
Republican care for the poor through charitable organizations, but have been weary of doing it through government. Charity Hospitals existed because of Catholics, government effectively shut these down. Republicans can do better, but they/we feel abused and taken advantage of.

Criticized extreme wealth and greed

Everybody wanting and trying to be rich is a problem. Modest living should be acceptable again. I'll blame this on feminism.

Emphasized community and generosity

Rs and Ds are for this, but you can't fault a group for having more affinity toward people they have commonalities with. This is how countries are created.
