re: #117 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

Plenty of conservative Catholics still around who have (and will) put up with a lot due to tradition and rallying around Abortion as the sole important litmus test.

It’s weird how they insist they’re “following the teachings of their faith” when they vehemently oppose any legislation that disagrees with the Pope about gays or abortion (and OMG, it’s religious bigotry to suggest they shouldn’t be motivated by sectarian teachings, their faith is the most important thing in the world to them and informs all their political views); yet they just as vehemently support legislation that directly contradicts everything the Pope has ever said about immigration, refugees, health care, income inequality, or environmental protection (and OMG, it’s religious bigotry to wonder why they’re not driven by sectarian teachings on these issues, how dare anyone question that they have minds of their own and their faith doesn’t drive all their views).
