In reply to the discussion: I had tough talk with my mother today. [View all]melman
(7,681 posts)35. My parents are very Catholic
Mom is 78 and Dad is 82.
I would be willing to bet my mom has never missed Mass on Sunday or on any Holy Day of Obligation. If she did it would only be because she was too sick to go.
Both are strongly against abortion, especially my mom.
But they are also lifelong Democrats. They hate Trump and my mom especially is a big Hillary fan, and even put an I'm with Her magnet on the fridge.
So religion is a big thing, and for older Catholics especially, abortion is too, but they're not everything.
