I've seen a few of these bumper stickers lately

[Ohiogal]

"I'm Catholic and I Vote!"

wtf are they trying to say?

I don't understand it and I was brought up Catholic, although I'm one of those "lapsed" ones now.

1. Just consider it a confession

Clearly their consciences are bothering them.

[Croney]

2. I think it means that abortion is their only issue.

And they're proud of it. SMH.

[Nay]

4. Yep. I see this bumper sticker daily at a place I frequent -- and every time, I think

that very thing.

3. The candidate they vote for must be anti choice

Probably can't be gay either but definetly not pro choice for women
Many of the anti choice rallies are filled with catholic groups nowadays

5. not necessarily

Last time I read a story about this being polled it said that less than 50% of practicing Catholics would support abortion being criminalized.
Some of those bumper stickers may be indicating support for the Pope's position that the true Christian values should be helping the poor and the sick.

6. Yeah ok but plenty like this

7. I know it's still part of the official doctrine

but polls have been showing for years that American Catholics totally reject the church policy on birth control, and many are pro-choice.

11. There was a time in my younger days...

when that attitude applied to birth control. Then the statistics came out that about 90% of Catholic women were using birth control.

Just another example of religious hypocrisy or the "cafeteria plan" of picking and choosing what tenets you'll abide by.

So grateful to my parents for teaching us to be atheists. Ha. Ha. My father always told me when I was six years old and starting school not to say the words "under God" when saying the Pledge. He said they'll never know anyway. LOL

8. Left over from the Roy Moore campaign

9. I think it is their public declaration that they are ignoring all Catholicism

purports to believe in and they will vote Republican based on one issue that is found nowhere in the Bible.

Adjoining bumper sticker should say "call me a hypocrite"

10. alternatively

I am Catholic and I should not vote.
I am Catholic and I vote. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
