Churchgoers participate in a procession at the Holy Apostles Church in Milwaukee, Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020. For decades, Roman Catholic voters have been a pivotal swing vote in U.S. presidential elections, with a majority backing the winner — whether Republican or Democrat — nearly every time.
Just a week ago, French, a real estate consultant who does volunteer work at her church, said she hadn’t made up her mind, and was considering voting for a third-party candidate. But now, with the Supreme Court vacancy, she’s leaning toward Trump as he pledges to nominate a conservative woman. In several battleground states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida, more than 20% of adults are Catholic. Trump won all three in 2016, but recent polls show Biden with modest leads in each, fueling intense competition for Catholics’ support.
“Catholics cannot be true to their faith and vote for Donald Trump in November,” said Campbell. “President Trump is doing everything in his power to divide us, while our economy and health care systems collapse under the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic.” This month another Wisconsin bishop spoke out after the Rev. James Altman, a parish priest in La Crosse, declared during a diatribe on YouTube, “You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat.”
As for the Supreme Court vacancy, O’Brien said many Catholics are praying for Trump to appoint a justice who will “secure laws that are just for all people, especially the unborn.” Franklin doesn’t believe abortion is the dominant issue for many Catholics, given that a majority in his polling support abortion rights to some degree.
Yawn
Does the average catholic condone the grabbing of female genitalia as once opined by Donny T? CCharitiesUSA USCCB CatholicReview CatholicNewsSvc Don't turn to silence as your refuge.
The Catholic Church should be ashamed at what they are doing in supporting the charlatan, con artist Trump
No good catholic that believes in the Ten Commandments would be able to vote for any repub running. If I were a catholic judge I would not except an appointment from thump.
Amazing they have issue with abortion but they have none with pedophiles, rapist.
ALL RELIGIONS ARE WITCHCRAFT, BUDDHIST, BAPTIST, MUSLIM, JEW AND CATHOLICS TOO LET'S NOT FORGET THE SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, ROMAN INQUISITIONS, SALEM WITCH HUNTS, BURNING INNOCENTS AT THE STAKE, 6,000,000.+✡ KILLED BY CHRISTIAN NAZIS, 1,000,000. ARMENIAN✝️ KILLED BY THE☪️ TURKS etc
those bible believers better re-read Revelation 13:5 King James Version ..And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
It should be no contest - Biden’s of the Catholic faith, Trump’s faithless
Hi American Catholics, Trump has been the worst thing for Christians in Palestine. Just thought you'd like to know.
Politics don’t belong in religion.
Catholics can't even condemn pedophiles. What a joke.
Attacking Catholics based on their religious beliefs is not a good look for Democrats. We remember how the Hon. Amy Coney Barrett was impugned by SenFeinstein and SenatorDurbin. All the wishes in the world for a 'Blessed Sunday' won't change that SpeakerPelosi.
Considering how over the last two decades the Catholic Church has closed schools and parishes, especially in POOR neighborhoods [those they’re supposed to be helping the most]. They’re SHRINKING numbers are of no consequence to non-Catholics. Their God will judge them.
WWJD? Vote BIDEN!!!!!!!!
Greed, Religion and stupidity is destroying the world!!!!
So many people seem unaware that according to the Catholic Church abortion is a mortal sin. Joe Biden has been denied communion because of his stance on abortion.
What's the choice ? One is a devout Catholic, the other is a heathen.
Any 'Catholic' who votes for Trump is truly not a Cathllic. There is no defense for voting for him, he is the antithesis of Christ.
It’s more pointedly Evangelicals, not to quibble, it’s about pro-life. Trump was told to win he’d have to be a pro-lifer, said I can do that...and voila
I'm a pro life catholic rust belt registered Dem voting for Trump
Biden/Harris = Most pro-abortion ticket ever. Any Catholic voting Democrat is not voting their faith.
GOP POTUS And yet the Democrats have serious concerns about voting in a practicing Catholic for the Supreme Court!
Look at these nut jobs. The religious right is a cancer in the USA
Autocracy and repression come naturally to religious people. It is to them a feature, not a bug.
Since Joe Biden is a Catholic and Trump is a virtual porn star heathen, the choice seems clear..
I don't care WHAT flavor of christianity you are. You cant say your pro life and still support trump anymore. Forcing women to be sterilized without thier permission is wrong.
The good news is that more Catholics are waking up to the fact that 'pro-life' is a political front and being 'pro-life' involves much more than anti-abortion.
Well, Biden is Catholic. Trump is not. That should make it easy.....?
Catholics like Evangelicals should vote Biden. Because they cannot vote for Trump who has no mercy for US citizens. Trump doesn’t consider dead citizens for virus or racism or violence. Catholics and Evangelicals have a soul and ethical deep thought.
Ugh I am done with religion and politics. The doctrine of prosperity has really turned me away. Call it what it is, greed.
Fiction
Bah. Last time it was Evangelicals, now it's Catholics. I don't see the difference
Don't know a SINGLE Catholic voter for BIden. Not a one.
Kiddy fiddlers
Amazing how many Catholics see this man and think, “wow, this man gets it”. Sad.
Let's see if religious leaders have any shred of morality left.....
I love being Catholic! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Pope Francis!!!
Catholics are so hung up on abortion that they block out everything else.
No one tells me how to vote. Not USCCB not my parish, not Pontifex My right to think & chose is G-d given. GOP is corrupt, not based on principles of gospel. realDonaldTrump shows his rotten fruit w every word & behavior
Though the Catholic vote had a 7% gap going to Trump I'm curious if Trump will improve on Jewish voters which was a 47% gap going to Clinton. Given that Trump has been making peace strives in the Middle East. This will be interesting to see
Catholics must be the group most aware of the nefarious consequences of mixing religion with politics.
Catholics? You mean privilege hypocrites? 99% of them.
“Vote based on your faith”? You mean vote based on wishful thinking?
Shocker: When RFK’s grandson volunteered with Jared Kushner’s COVID-19 task force, he likened the Trump Administration’s pandemic response to “a family office meets organized crime, melded with ‘Lord of the Flies.’”
It's pathetic how many 'Catholics' I have seen support Trump. Good luck explaining why you believed a man who cheated on all 3 wives and paid off a porn star to lie about their affair was more sexually moral than a man who has had a scandal free marriage and goes to church.
How do Catholics feel about PedophileTrump? Here’s the lawsuit against realDonaldTrump and his bestie Jeffrey Epstein by a then 13 year old girl accusing them of raping her.
Democrats forget Christian votes with your pro abortion fight.
yet....only one side let's 'ppl without uterus'' have a say in whether babies live or die ...imma side with the one that let me have an opinion
DementiaJoe will continue to allow the slaughter of untold millions of children and allow dismembered human babies to be sold part by part to fundraise for Planned Parent Hood. End this eugenics pseudo science and deny this fake catholic the Eucharist.
Everyone know Trump exemplifies religious values. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Killing babies isn’t cool with Catholics
