I have never heard of a Christian-Right Democrat??? Do they hang out with the Pro-Socialist Conservatives?

Catholics?  Many I know vote Dem. but are against abortion and "other" things.  This always seemed strange to me.  I am a holiday Catholic, and even that has been waning.

Gillz said it right. Even though they are Democrats, while they may support much of what the 'Crats stand for, they do not ascribe to abortion, the blessed sacrament of the party. 'Nuff said on this subject for me.

Most Catholics I know would be "moderate Republicans"...true conservatives not extremists and generally down to earth/realistic religious types (not big on the rapture and end times stuff).  
 
I was raised Catholic and no longer practice.  We tried to go back, I wanted to give my kids a chance at religion if they wanted it and we had a great priest in our parish.  The second round of molestation issues came up (as in more info about them covering up when cover ups were supposed to be over)  at the same time the diocese moved our priest for purely economic reasons and that was it for me.  
 
IMO...The reason I see that most Catholics are moderates is that in the Catholic faith a sin is a sin.  You can confess it and it can be absolved but not really, there's the whole Purgatory thing hanging over a Catholic's head...forever.   In other Christian denominations sinning simply means you're human and are ripe for the savin!  That's why the MAGA Christians think Donald is AOK.  He's a sinner who GOD has picked!  Just like the rest of us!  It's also how they justify banging each other's wives.  "I have SINNED and am now SAVED AGAIN!"...at least until the next office party.

It mentions abortion, but not specifically “no exceptions” vs at least some exceptions. 
 
I doubt many ever thought that would ever be the debate when doing these polls.  Back then (beyond a few months ago), most polls seemed to be ban with exceptions vs. anything up to viable fetus.

Why, yes I do.

Yeah so it looks like that research also says Catholics break about 50/50, give or take.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years, and I I’ve known alot of old school catholic types from work and family friends. My impression is that modern Catholicism is one of the more moderate, almost progressive groups of Christian faith. The brand of Christianity I was exposed to growing up is a far cry from the performative zealotry embraced by the modern religious right.

I don’t think abortion is a hard line central issue to Catholics in the way it is to evangelicals. I don’t doubt that many of them morally disapprove of it to some extent, but I don’t think there are as many single issue voters in that group as there are with evangelicals. But that was just personal experience with more “urban” Catholics.

Note the racial divide too. Hispanic Catholics make up a large percentage of the Democratic portion.

I agree with the modern Catholics that I know. I don’t know if any devout modern Catholic like my Grandparents and their community in the South Side was when I was growing up. Their lives revolved around Church. Their kid’s lives revolved around the steel mills and shot and beer culture, showed up for Church maybe, but still identify as Catholic. Many started settling a little further out of town, taking that same mentality to the suburbs. Their kids mostly not revolving their lives around the Church like their grandparents did (I personally don’t know any that do). I don’t know of any rural Catholics, so I really don’t know how devout they are. Maybe that is where these Christian-right Democrats are?

He is in a groove!!

In other Christian denominations sinning simply means you're human and are ripe for the savin!  That's why the MAGA Christians think Donald is AOK.  He's a sinner who GOD has picked!  Just like the rest of us!  It's also how they justify banging each other's wives.  "I have SINNED and am now SAVED AGAIN!"...at least until the next office party.  
 

I didn’t realize this sinners ticket. You mean that I could be banging these chicks that I meet on the road, rather than fishing??? WTF! I feel that my choice to just be a good person, thank God every evening and helping others is all a waste now. If I trade that in to act on every urge, it is okay if I go to an evangelical Church? WTF??? I feel Ike there are at least 200 poo$$ees that I could have grabbed and…. Make As$ Grabbing Awesome!

Yes the BIG GUY is doing well the country he was elected to unite(brandon's words) not so much!!!!.

Do you think Biden put a guy like Demetre Daskalakis in charge of the monkey pox response just to troll you personally? Because I think maybe he did.

Yes, a loving God will always forgive you and the sinning church population will welcome you with open arms.  Your wife, not so much...

From some of the details I read earlier today the union made out. Immediate 14% pay raise, no health insurance increase, family time off and a few other perks. Having been in a union and on a contract negotiation team I wonder what the RR got out of the deal. Seeing that the government was involved it probably has something to do with subsidies or tax breaks 

Thanks for the info Yote.

Because if the RR workers go on strike as the country is climbing out of the covid supply chain nightmare, the american people are screwed and the economy probably collapses.

Oh I couldn’t agree more. This would have been god awful timing, and this was a clutch save.

It’s also kind of shocking to me how little attention this seems to be getting. Seems like a whole lot of people were totally unaware of how close we came to our economic situation getting 10x worse overnight.

Agreed. Lot of folks just weren't aware. 

Good news though, whew.
