[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh.  The Deep South, the heart of MAGA country, the most anti-gay and anti-choice region in the country, is far and away the least Catholic.  They're practically non-existent there.  The KKK hated Catholics almost as much as it hated black people.

Catholics are most heavily concentrated in urban areas of the northeast, Midwest, and California -- the bluest areas of the country.  The nutjob Catholics on the Supreme Court weren't picked because they're Catholic; they're there because they're conservative.  Conservatives come in every stripe.  Stephen Miller is Jewish.  Scott Bessent is gay.  Justice Sotomayor is Catholic.  So was Justice William Brennan, the liberal lion anti-death penalty champion of abortion rights and gay rights who Justice Scalia once said was the most influential justice of the 20th Century.

Anyone who thinks that we Catholics are all running around hating and judging gays just don't get us.  They're certainly not going to Mass with us (where gay sh*t is never discussed) and they're not having dinner with us.  Sure, from time to time some bishop or somebody in Rome says something about the gays -- we roll our eyes and go on with our day.

There's a lot of "official" stuff that I don't like about many other mainstream religions.  I don't judge every member of those faiths for that stuff.  If you are judging every Catholic for every official tenet of the religion it makes you a bigot.  Plain and simple.

SCOTUS Common denominator is Catholic. No getting around that.

I grew up in an all Catholic community one of 4 Jews I can say unequvically that town is still racist, antisemitic, maga garbage. The Catholic Church is right next to the local elementary school and one of the junior highs. It puts out tons of political crap still. During Jan 6ht it sent buses for god's sake.

My neighbors in Potomac are Catholic they are all MAGA.

Is everyone who is Catholic bad of course not. But MAGA is very large representation in the Catholic community. My kid played on a soccer team age 10-18 everyone else but us went to Good Counsel & Academy of Holy Cross we are Jewish, it was not pleasant but my kid and the coach handled the shitty parents. Those families are all MAGA I can see their FB posts it is horrifying.

Catholics are about 27 % of this country it would be disengenuous to say Catholics are not a huge part of what is happening with the Trump Administration in terms of racism and antisemitism.

Again not all Catholics are MAGA huge amount are and to deny that is foolish and absurd.

Plus Catholic Church is still paying to protect criminal sex offenders great religion to do that.
