First, the good that the Catholic faith does far outweighs any badby a country mile.

Second, the Democratic Party has more than their fair share ofbigotry also. Possibly, you just refuse to acknowledge it.

The RC Church has done good, whether it outweighs the bad is above my pay grade. The Democratic Party, like any organization of humans has done bad things, but the good outweighs the bad now

Thanks for at least acknowledging that the left has their shareof bigots also. Too many people see things in a binary framework.My side good - your side bad type of thing.

I feel the Catholic Church and the right have done far more goodthan bad. That said, I won’t judge all people on the left as bad.In fact my closest friends are lefty’s. We disagree a great dealon current events and policy, but that’s fine, no problem. They’re still my friends.

That still totally throws me for a loop—Catholics and Evangelicals teaming up. Growing up Mormon smack in the middle of the Bible Belt I was always lumped in with Catholics as a not-“real”-Christian.

Some Evil has standards. Apparently Republican Trumpcult and Russian Evil do not.

Count me among those who have no faith in the judiciary. Political zealots have exploited a weak system to the point of near-uselessness.

There are few people more arrogant about their religion than Roman Catholics. I have some personal experience to base that on: I was raised and elementally educated by them. They claim to be “the one true, universal and Apostolic Church” and there is no worse person than a “fallen away Catholic.” Kavanaugh, Ailto, and Thomas are extremist religious hacks first, and judicial officials second.

It’s not always about being right but doing right.

If you have to lie to support your cause, your cause isn't worth supporting. James O'Keefe does nothing but lie and release very selectively edited videos. Most of his "investigations" are blatant attempts at entrapment, and they usually fail when his target refuses to take the bait.
