Regarding the letter “Pick a side, good or evil” (April 10, TribLIVE): How dare the writer declare “you cannot be Catholic and vote Democrat.” Who made him pope?

According to him, you can discriminate against God’s children who he made LBGT, and still be Catholic. According to him, you can demonize immigrants, and still be Catholic.

Can you support fascism in the form of those governors who retaliate against corporations and private citizens who disagree with them, ban books, restrict the speech of teachers, doctors and Democrats, support the proliferation of guns, sue to prevent health care to diabetics, those with HIV, pregnant women in crisis and the poor, and still be Catholic?

My Catholic Church is much more loving than that. Maybe instead, those who love America and democracy would never vote Republican.

He cries that his side is labeled “racists, sexists and homophobes.” Maybe it’s because their actions and policies expose them as such.
