Alleged journalist and
Leftist political hack, and anti Christian bigot Chris Matthews, said when the
Catholic Church sued against the health care mandate to provide contraception, sterilization
and abortion against religious belief and tradition, asked "Do you think
they’re all Republican, the bishops?" Matthews himself is a Catholic, or
claims to be, and definitely a Democrat. A 2011 Pew study showed 48% of
Catholics are Democrats as opposed to 43% Republican.
Leftists\Democrats, are
myopically political, so even see religion as politically motivated. They're
incapable of knowing, or even seeing it's the other way around. Religious
people put God first, in everything we think, say, and do. What we get then are
Democrats that claim to be Catholic supporting abortion and gay marriage, even advocating for it. Nancy
Pelosi, asked by Christopher Goins of
CNSNews.com,“Many of the people that are
opposed to gay marriage cite their religion as the reason why they're opposed.
You're a Catholic that supports gay marriage. Do you believe that religion and
the idea that you can support gay marriage can be separated? And how do you
grapple with the idea that you support gay marriage as a Catholic?” Her
answer: "My religion has, compels me--and I love
it for it--to be against discrimination of any kind in our country, and I
consider this a form of discrimination. I think it’s unconstitutional on top of
that. " That despite the
very clear teaching and position of the Catholic Church to the contrary. Plus
her dismissal several times of the Constitution and not being bound by it.
Back to the point of the politics informing Faith, Matthews
has said: "I think there are people
who have chosen to convert to the Catholic faith because they don't like the
liberal positions taken by their sectarian groups. That's a fact. So, you can
write that down. No, you can write that down." Huh? People join the Church because of
political reasons? Certainly makes my point. I wonder too why he doesn't quit
the Catholic Church since it's against everything he's for. What studies is he referencing?
There have been several Democrats that have held office,
claiming to be Catholic, yet passing legislation for abortion, sterilization
and contraception against the teachings of the Church they claim to belong to. Plus use taxes to pay for these against the will of citizens that object to these practices. The rationalization for it is they don't want
to enforce their beliefs on others, but they will force obedience to the
healthcare mandates, claim separation of church and state is in the Constitution (it's not), and claim the Establishment Clause is to protect citizens from religion (it doesn't). I'm sure we can all come up with long lists of things the government
forces we citizens to do that are against our beliefs.
If these politicians were true practitioners of their
religion, when campaigning would say they cannot vote for certain things
because it's against their faith belief, then follow though in practice if
elected. Truly religious people put God first, and He informs how we act.
Politics trumps religion for Leftists\Democrats, and if a politician put
his\her politics before religion, God, and the Church they should quit the
Church, and state their religion is
the State. If they don't they're immersing themselves in hypocrisy and should
stop throwing stones at people that proclaim Faith and make errors in judgment
and behavior at odds with their usual behavior and beliefs.
