Trump has no chance of winning the Catholic vote

10. Completely ridiculous.

I had Dominican nuns from 1954 to 1963 and Irish Christian Brothers from 1963 to 1971. All in the Archdiocese of New York under Francis Cardinal Spellman whom the reforms of Vatican II would have killed had he not died in 1967.

The difference is I kept listening.

Had I not, I would not have heard Brother Watkins tell his class that in order to commit a "mortal sin", one must, with full knowledge and full will, deliberately turn his back on God. He also said that was an enormously high bar and is one reason why the Church will declare saints but has never declared anyone - anyone - to be damned.

Had I not, I would not have visited the Catholic Worker House on East 3rd Street.

Had I not, I would not have known where Joseph and Daniel Berrigan were coming from, what drove them to those extraordinary actions they took.

Don't buy into this anti-Catholic bullshit that's peddled so easily. This Group is a place to discuss what the Catholic Church is, warts and all, if you're so interested.
