Catholic and liberal in the same sentence? Now this doesnt make sense |

^Actually Catholics are majority Democrat, tho certainly not usually on the far left.
Protestant Liberal, however, is damn near a contradiction. |

The more you know. I just connect fundamentalist christianity with conservative parties. |

^^ Not really. Anglicans and Episcopalians are Protestants, and they're pretty darn liberal. |

Meh, you can figure out who that was directed at. |

Well, when Kennedy (D, Roman Catholic) was running, alot of people were afraid that he was gonna "move the Pope into the White House"--- obviously, mostly banded about by Republicans, because Politics.
Cuz back then, canidates could NOT specify which sect of Christianity they were, because alot of them hated each other. Like, for example, alot of non-catholic Christians hate the idea of the Pope (because of having a human hierarchy), and/or the Trinity, since it's at most only implied in the New testament, and not at all in the Old, not to mention all other kinds of differnces in central dogma. It's only within the past generation or so that Evangelists have been particularly profitable, and swicthed from "lining our own pockets" to "getting polticians into our pockets", and --- ah, here, Penn Jillette says it betetr than I can write; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJGxVeQw3SE |

For example, my Alma Matter (technically: I finished at a nice public High School) is a Notre Dame (Roman Catholic), and durring a field trip to a "reasearch facility" on the Shroud of Turin (here in southern california, in an unfurnished rental office...), the teacher was right in the room (you know that old hag of a Sister that seems to be law that EVERY religous school must have one of?) when the reasearchers told us a parable about how there were two ladders to Heaven; one climbed by the rich and presteigous, with Jesus waiting at the top, and one climbed by the poor, with Mary waiting instead; they assured us that the Jesus ladder was broken and full of holes, and the rich and presteigous so cruel that they'd fall and push eachother off, while only those that climbed the Mary ladder (ie; prayed to the Virgin) made it to the top, to Heaven and Jesus.
Now, I dunno how many of you guys pray to Jesus, but I just told you how it's basically Catholic dogma that praying to Jesus is a wasted effort, and that they think you should pray to Mary instead, when you may be one the kinds of Christian that believes anything and everythign is Jesus only. All else equal/forgotten, you're prolly not gonna vote for a Catholic who honestly belives that your prayers have been futile--- but you may be coerced into voting for a Catholic, or a Mormon, or a Baptist, or a Pentecostal, because "it's Christian to vote to fight abortion." |

All true Catholics are against abortion, and since the right wing is full of theocratic nutjobs like Faux News they're all there besides that one D who tried/is trying to run against Obama. |

@RandomDouche: Catholics are not fundamentalist. Fundamentalists believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, which isn't a Catholic doctrine.
@Xuncu: Catholics are most certainly not discouraged from praying to Jesus. There are many Catholic prayers addressed directly to him, and the ones addressed to Mary and the saints are more about asking for *their* prayers. |

"Catholic Liberal" is an oxymoron! |

@Xuncu: What the hell are you talking about? Catholics have as many prayers to Jesus as the Protestant Denominations do... hell, some of those prayers are found in BOTH churches. They do literally read from the same book, after all.
@Anon615: You would agree that there are fundementalist catholics, just as there are fundementalist protestants and fundementalist muslims. I think Rick Santorum is a good example of a fundie catholic, for instance... |
