Joe Biden’s campaign to con Catholics, often with the help of their own bishops, paid off. He appears to have scooped up at least half of Catholic voters. In the crucial Rust Belt states, he fared far better with them than Hillary Clinton did.
“It turns out that while Trump stays on par (or better) with the Catholic vote nationwide, the GOP’s share of the Catholic vote has been slowly dropping wherever Catholics are more thickly clustered. Trump’s 8 percentage point drop from 2016 with these voters — especially in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — is a continuation of a longstanding trend,” reports the Religion News Service.

Everyone has a point at which they will stay "hold - enough". Mine is my faith. I will serve God and not Man. The democrats will not make me kneel to them. I am heartsick.

There is such a thing as a Catholic in name only! The top leaders of the Catholic Church, just like the leaders of most other religions are highly political. Those factors definitely play into the way they instruct their flocks, and remember it appears that Biden plays their game on Sunday mornings with publicized political videos of him coming and going to exploit the sympathies of low information Catholic voters. That’s the way the old dying out line of liberal Democrat lawyer-politicians have always operated. If you meet one of them, the question they always ask is “What can I do for you?” And then only actually deliver what amounts to crumbs unless you donate big money to their political campaigns or serve to somehow enrich their family members or friends.

#1 I feel your pain. I know that God has a plan. I have faith in Him and His plan. I have to stay focused on that. I am so, so disappointed in the Catholic hierarchy.

Biden is about as Catholic as the ayatollahs.
I converted to Catholicism 30 years ago but quit going to mass almost a year ago. Between the pope and the CINO bishops I have become disgusted with my church. And now this. I will hold on to my faith in God but will practice it on my own.

The Catholic Church has its own swamp and it’s in the Vatican and the USCCB. Unfortunately, the swamp elects the pope.
The other problem, which is common to all Democrats, is that they will always identify as Democrats and blindly follow the party.

Religion is not the problem. Organized religion is the problem. The Bible explains what I must do in life, not some human. Have a blessed day folks.

Speaking as a practicing Catholic... I can tell you WE are united with President Trump....any poll such as this "religion news service" doesn't speak for me and my fellow parishioners...so peddle your polls someplace else... WE ain't paying...

There are Catholics who practice their faith, and then there are those who couldn't find their parish church with a GPS system. Media calls both groups Catholics.

There are few real Catholics left, and even they are starting to leave the Church.
Now I am no authority on polls or theology, I am just a person who has been Catholic or at least Church going all of my life and have an opinion.
I have seen Catholic schools closing I have seen the Nuns practically disappear.
I have seen the surge of Cafetaria Catholics , who come to Church but pick the rules they obey.
I remember when people dressed to come to Church. Now I see them coming in Jeans and and Daisy Dukes.
Women wore hats , that's long gone.
People actually went to Confession very few do now.
Child molesting Priests but the Church has done little to stop it.
Now a Pope who wants Homosexual Unions.
I will sill go to mass, my Faith in the Church has not been destroyed, but my faith in its leadership and practitioners is ebbing.
I have seen many people leave and go to non-denominational Church's

"No conscious and no shame." Autocorrect at work again?
Shouldn't this read, "No conscience ... " ?

Regardless of who sits in the Oval Office next year, the country is moving to that of a secular society, slowly but, surely. Religious freedom and belief in God our Creator, our Savior, is being replaced with obeyance to the state. Just like China. Just like Russia. Just like North Korea. Just like...{fill in the blank}...

I can't begin to tell you how disgusted I am with the Catholic Church (just try contacting the Council of Bishops to register a complaint or comment=they think they are a monarchy and then wonder why they are losing Catholics hand over fist)....and also so many of my fellow Catholics. Both Biden and Obama were all for abortion up to delivery, and Obama voted for putting unsuccessful abortion babies in a back hospital room too die of dehydration and yet I have college educated Catholic "friends" who canvassed for the man. Hispanic Catholics voted for Trump, white college educated Catholics voted for Biden for the most part. When a country's morals have sunk so low, and the morals of practicing Catholics, what on earth can you do?

I was raised Catholic and was so until about ten years ago. I saw then what was happening and how it conflicted with my Christian beliefs. I have been attending a bible believing Church of Christ since. Current Catholics need to assess whether they still believe in the infallibility of the Pope and make a decision to be Sheeple or find another denomination.

Archbishop Vigano has become a hero to me. His letters to President Trump gave me hope that the Roman Catholic Church still had voice other than that of the Pope. Vigano, not a fan of Francis and has made that clear in his letters and I applaud his courage to do so. He's a breath of fresh air for all Christians believers and like President Trump, he's an outsider in a powerful organization who is not afraid to speak the truth. and to go against the grain

#4, come home. Don't allow men who sin (they're everywhere, by the way) to be the excuse for starving yourself of the Holy Eucharist. Remember John 6:53.
#14, being "raised Catholic" does not equate with being properly catechized or else you'd know that Catholics do not believe the Pope is infallible. Jesus alone is infallible.

I can understand how people can leave the Catholic church. I'm on the verge. However, I must weigh my thoughts of leaving with the thought of not being able to receive the Holy Eucharist. There are no other (the Orthodox not included) churches who can give the the Holy Eucharist. So, do I give up that or go to church because of the Eucharist. A priest can lecture, molest kids, encourage every so slightly, abortion. Many Catholic churches will not speak out against immorality. They might lose their tax exemptions. So, to keep their money etc. they sacrifice their parishoners to worldly, ungodly practices. It's hard to believe that their sacred offerings are valid inspite of their personal failings. I despise politician catholics. I despise that the church does not openly excommunicate them. Be not afraid. It says in Revelations that very hard times will come upon the good. Do you think we are in the last days?

My Catholic Faith is as important as the Catholic Church. I cannot fully practice my Faith without the physical Church. The Church is as fallible as any institution operated by human beings, however it is the only earthly institution whereby I can receive the Eucharist - the Sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. It is also the only institution that offers to me the saving graces of all seven Sacraments given to us for our benefit by our Blessed Savior. We are not the first Catholics challenged to keep the Faith under a corrupt hierarchy. Many abandoned the Faith to embrace the Protestant Reformation because of corrupt practices. All that has done is fracture the Christian community into 10,000 sects. How's that working out for us? A true and robust Christian belief also requires a spiritual maturity that understands this earthly life is passing away and the only constant is seeking the Presence of Christ in our lives. How much closer or more personal can I be with Christ than when I am receiving His Body and Blood?
Despite the weakness of humanity Christ entrusted us with His True Presence. How can you not want to be with Him physically? Come home to Rome and know the beauty of the Sacraments instituted by Christ Himself for our benefit.

The combination of Pope Francisco and ChinaJoe is wonderful for the Culture of Death. Welcome to environmental Malthusianism, partial birth abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, death panels, and The New World Order.
Pope Francisco is the best ally of the United Nations sustainability program that will keep the poorest poor. If the Globalists steal this election it will be a Global calamity.
For our part we will stick to the traditional Latin Mass. With the Chinavirus our bishop has forbidden communion on the tongue so we make without it. Incredibly, Pope Francisco just closed down a Seminary in Argentina because they insisted on communion on the tongue. The 35 seminarians were sent to their homes for a year of discernment before they can be considered for another Seminary. Socialism is intolerant; brace yourselves for Kamala.

The Catholics are not the only one with problems.
I joined the United Methodist Church several years ago and all was well. Last week we had a zoom meeting with our bishop for our yearly conference. By God's grace we had Communion the Sunday before and didn't have to repeat what the printed program for this meeting was planned for.
Part of the conference was Communion with these added words:
"Black lives matter to you, and always have.
Black lives matter.
Black men lives matter.
Black female lives matter.
Black LGBTQIA+ lives matter.
Black trafficked lives matter.
Black uneducated as well as educated lives matter.
Black poor as well as rich lives matter.
Black homeless lives matter.
Black Christians and non-Christians matter.
Black lives with disabilities matter.
Black immigrants and refugees matter.
Black children matter.
Black teens matter. "
What made this even worse, was the fact that they ignored or plain forgot " Black babies lives matter. "
They must think abortions are OK.
I was brought up in a Baptist Church where God loved all of His creation, especially mankind, who He created in His image. Color is not mentioned in the Creation story, nor should it be, for:
ALL LIVES MATTER.
Sorry that this so long, but I had to get it off my mind. Pray for all the Churches who are being pressured to be politically correct. And to keep us strong in these difficult times to hold onto the true teachings of Jesus Christ.

#4, 10 &17, I urge you to find a Traditional Latin Mass or Divine Liturgy near you. There you will not find watered down versions of the Faith and find the strength you will need to get through whatever will happen. Fatima, Akita and the vision of Leo XIII.

#17- With all due respect, the declaration that, “There are no other (the Orthodox not included) churches who can give the Holy Eucharist,” is stunning. Most mainline denominations offer Holy Communion, however, nondenominational churches “typically distance themselves from the confessionalism or creedalism of other Christian communities...there is no identifiable standard among such congregations.”
In the Sacrament of the Altar (Communion), LCMS Lutherans believe “Christ’s body and blood are truly present in the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper,” but they do not accept the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that the elements are permanently changed from the substances of bread and wine to the substances of body and blood.” (1 Corinthians 10:16-17 --- "The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." --- Paul clearly says here that we all "partake" of "BREAD" when we receive the Lord's Supper--even as we also partake of and "participate in" the true body of Christ. And he says we all "partake" of the wine (the cup), even as we also partake of the true blood of Christ.)
In response to the question, “Do you think we are in the last days?”, based on the signs foretold in Scripture, recent comments by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the Reverend Franklin Graham, as well as some members of the clergy in churches throughout this country, it seems something is happening that raises that very question, with the caveat being the appearance of the Antichrist
