"You can't be a catholic and a Democrat" according to some twitwit calling himself fr.

14. ""You can't be a catholic and a Democrat"" "So I think that, in spite of himself, that nutbar may be

correct."

I'm not extrapolating anything. And I'm an atheist by the way.

But as a liberal and a democrat, I think that people can believe whatever they want to believe up to the point that it hurts someone else. There are hundreds of millions of people who are Catholics and also very liberal, notwithstanding what the organisation as a whole does. And people are not defined solely by one quality or belief or by the actions of every other member of every group they are associated with.

You do have the option to just admit that your OP was wrong and painting with a broad-brush instead of getting defensive and pretending you didn't write what you very obviously did write. We can all go back and read it perfectly clearly.
