First you have to act like a patriotic citizen of the United States of America and respect the freedom of religion of all human beings.
Then you need to learn about the American political parties.
Some Catholics are Republicans and some are Democrats.
Unfortunately no political party has a platform in line with Catholic social teaching.
The Catholic Church is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."
This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:
+ All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms. (closer to Democratic platform)
+ The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in vitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning (closer to Republican platform)
+ The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanasia (closer to Republican platform)
+ Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty (closer to Democratic platform)
+ The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues (closer to Democratic platform)
Some Catholics are enthusiastically anti-abortion and align themselves with the Republican party.
When you look at the big picture, the Democratic party supports more "Catholic" issues so some Catholics are Democrats.
Neither party follows all Catholic teachings.
With love in Christ.

Won't happen. None will be eligible to vote until AFTER the next election. They'll remember Bush as their hero and of course by that time, the Dems will be gone because the voters will get them out of there.

the guy in you type is stupid and would not recognize a lot about being Latino. i'm Latino, and that i by no potential evaluate our warfare to the African-American warfare. it truly is diverse, and became no longer as publisized because the Black warfare. yet I do ought to assert that maximum folk do not recognize that both blacks and Latinos (Mexican human beings in theis case) have had their land taken far flung from them: Blacks were enslaved and purchased to the Americas at the same time as the finished western area of the u . s . a . (which became then all of Mexico) became signed off the the white guy. They kicked us out of our own land, and did lynch our human beings contained in the southwest aswell as close by individuals. of course, African-American Civil Rights circulation had free ties with the Chicano walkouts, yet each has its own historic previous in this united states of america. both Blacks and Latinos have deep roots contained in the united states, yet comparing both is faulty because they are not an same. at the same time as blacks have had human beings calling them inhuman, Latinos had human beings calling them the very similar ingredient. signs and indications like NO dogs OR MEXICANS the position printed each of ways up until eventually the 1960's. You even reported that you do not a lot about you Latino aspect, nicely possibly you should look it up. it isn't honest to assert Blacks had it the worst because how did you recognize different racial communities warfare in u.s.? Asian individuals, Blacks, and Latinos could be acquaintances, because all have lengthy surpassed by struggles of their historic previous in u.s.. although comparing the hardships isn't suitable and no you'll take your historic previous far flung from you.

No. As for illegal Hispanics, most do not know how to vote anyway.
Two of my friends claim to be Democrats, but they have never registered to vote their entire lives.

Hispanics in general have a strong work ethic and strong sense of family. Once more are legal, more and more will start voting Republican... and that's a GOOD thing! ;)

First of all I don't think you understand that Catholics ARE Christians. You need not worry about it I am sure they will be as diverse as the rest of us are. The issue of religion is not necessary.
