Rubio's family was Roman Catholic, though from age 8 to age 11, he and his family attended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while living in Las Vegas,[6] where his father worked as a bartender at Sam's Town Hotel and his mother a housekeeper at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino.[7] He received his first communion as a Catholic in 1984, before moving back to Miami with his family a year later. He was confirmed and married in the Catholic Church.[8][9]
...
When he was 8 years old and living in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rubio joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), but he returned to Catholicism after receiving his first communion at 13 years old.[127] Rubio attends Christ Fellowship, a Southern Baptist Church[128] in West Kendall, Florida,[129] as well as Catholic services.[130]

In an interview in 2012, Rubio said: "I'm a Roman Catholic. I'm theologically in line with the Roman Catholic Church. I believe in the authority of the church, but I also have tremendous respect for my brothers and sisters in other Christian faiths. I recognize, as the Catholic Church does, that there are excellent teachings of the Word throughout other denominations. The elements of salvation are found in these churches as well."[131]

I had to see if there was any more on this church-hopping business.

As you see, Rubio is saying he's "theologically in line with the Roman Catholic Church," but what he's talking about is Vatican II theology, which is universalist and indifferentist.  

That is, he thinks it's perfectly fine to believe that outside the Church there is salvation because "the Church" is a lot more than the Catholic Church, and the latter is a part of the former.

Consequently, hopping from Catholic to Mormon, back to Catholic, then to Baptist, then Catholic, and back to Baptist, and back to Catholic every week or two or whatever, is par for the course when you've embraced the heresies of Vatican II (which is not a true Council of the Church, but rather a false council).

Perhaps some would say he's "invincibly ignorant" of the real theology of the Roman Catholic Church.



What would stop such a person from believing that there are "elements of salvation" in ANY other religion?

When he says: "...there are excellent teachings of the Word throughout other denominations. The elements of salvation are found in these churches as well," what would prevent him from believing that Hindus, Buddhists, Mohammedans, devil worshipers, Satanists and Wiccans all have "excellent teachings of the Word" and there are elements of salvation found in among their teachings?

How could such a person object to a statue of Baphomet being erected at a public place, for example, next to the Ten Commandments, you know, to provide a more balanced display?

I don’t vote simply because the whole system is an illusion, a reality show, on par with American Idol. The whole Trump show makes me laugh when people say he is shaking things up and that he is a threat to the “establishment”. The fact of the matter is, if he really was a threat, he simply would not be in the debates or receive any coverage to begin with.   There are candidates out there who really are pro-life and have sound policy views. They are simply ignored, so nobody ever hears their views.

It doesn’t matter who wins the reality show, the money behind these people actually run the country. These politicians are just their puppets, playing a role per se.  196 people give 80% of the money to politicians, who do you think they are paying attention to? The dumb goyim or the people who line their pockets? http://www.salon.com/2012/02/16/the_196_people_who_will_choose_our_next_president/

Any way even if the elections were legit, the country would still be falling apart because its foundations are built on sand . Here is a short part of a  blog by  Louie Verrecchio to prove my point:

What such persons fail to realize is that the United States of America was ever destined to become a moral cesspool thanks to the very principles upon which it was founded.
At this, a brief civics lesson is (once again) apparently in order.

Let us begin with a look at the opening paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

When read by one with sensus Catholicus; that is to say, through the lens of immutable truth, a number of dangers become readily evident; specifically:
To assume among the powers of the earth … a decent respect to the opinions of mankind … deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
And all of this in an effort to secure such rights as:
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The problems should be evident. “Just powers” or “Governments” that wield power on earth do not derive their authority from “the consent of the governed,” but rather from God:
No society can hold together unless some one be over all, directing all to strive earnestly for the common good, every body politic must have a ruling authority, and this authority, no less than society itself, has its source in nature, and has, consequently, God for its Author. Hence, it follows that all public power must proceed from God. For God alone is the true and supreme Lord of the world. Everything, without exception, must be subject to Him, and must serve him, so that whosoever holds the right to govern holds it from one sole and single source, namely, God, the sovereign Ruler of all. There is no power but from God. (cf Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei – 3)
When a majority of citizens, such as in Maryland where I live, can go to the polls and vote in favor of redefining marriage to include “spouses” of the same sex, the inherent danger posed by a State ordered upon the fallacy of just powers derived from the consent of the governed, should be entirely obvious.
Let’s be honest, an authentic American view of this regrettable situation (as opposed to a Catholic view) is that the one people have simply gone about asserting their collectiveright to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness as defined by the prevailing opinions of mankind.

Rubio is demonically possessed, but in a "lawful" and organized way, just as the other candidates are, variably, diabolically oriented. If you want thermonuclear WWIII, go ahead, vote for Ru(jew)bio. He will do his very best to rise "Israel" above all nations after all of the radioactive snow has settled.

I supported Buchanan in the 90s, and I wrote in his name in 2000.

Trump is given (false negative) media attention, but this (controlled opposition) tactic effectively still embeds him into the minds of countless voters as a viable candidate who is "anti-establishment". Trump is a plant and a shill.

If you want to know the candidate who was the real threat to the establishment and status quo back in '08 and '12, then look at the man who was completely ignored by the mainstream media. His name is Ron Paul. If the anti-Christ jews did not have ownership over the media, which they used to completely blackball him while shaping the minds of the electorate who can't think for themselves, then they would have αssαssιnαtҽd him, despite the fact the national and gubernatorial (of strategic importance) elections are completely rigged. Too much grassroots support for Ron Paul, and if people were allowed by the media to express their support for him, would have exposed the "elections" as not being real elections at all, but rather a huge show.

Rubio is a bought and paid for Zionist shill puppet

Paul Singer, Sheldon Adelson and others are all donating
to him so that he orders the American military to attack Iran
and be willing to start World War 3 for the Khazarian Mafia.

He is an insult to all Catholics - a Jew bootlicker and either
totally deceived or lacking of true moral character.

Are there are any other candidates besides Rand Paul who are NOT in Israel's pocket? (Can't say Trump because I don't think he is on any side of this issue.)

It's all a show anyway. The U.S. was built on godless principles like a house built on sand. What we see today is only the logical and eventual result of those principles.

I'm surprised some people, even Catholics, appear to think Trump'd be a good president.

Here's a kindergarten song for you:  One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong.  One of these things is not like the others.  Can you tell which one it is?  TRUMP.

At least are large  number of the populace has the intelligence of a 5 year old.  

On the other hand some, maybe most, traditional Catholics would say supporting or voting for anyone running is a waste of time.

In the U.S. it is.  Our election system is a national disaster.  In any given year, only a handful of states actually determine the outcome of any election.  Since 1990, there are 13 states that have voted Republican every time.  Collectively they garner 102 electoral votes.  There are 19 states that vote Democrat every time.  Collectively they garner 242 electoral votes.  If the Republican candidate lost Florida, then the Democrats win.

Currently, as population shifts, more states swing in favor of Democrats than Republicans.

Unless you are in one of those swing states, it is very unlikely that your Republican vote will count.  I live in PA.  I don't care how many Republicans go to the polls, this state will still fall blue.  The immigrant population in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and hαɾɾιsburg far out weigh the conservatives living in rural areas.  My vote, every year, is simply a vote for opposition.

So, let's hear it, what are the objections to Senator Rubio winning the nomination? He seems to be a Catholic, conservative senator and is pro-life, faith and family. Sure, we'd all prefer a traditional, Catholic, monarch ruling in the Name of Christ and the Holy Trinity, but since that is not likely any time soon, what are the thoughts of posters here on which candidate, if any, Catholics can support?

Senator Rubio is a marginal Catholic.  He is definitely a believer in Zionism.  All the work that has been done to change the tide regarding abortion has been done by lay people and youtube videos.  It has been that fact that has driven local legislators to pass bills to de-fund PP.  Rubio, as president, could do very little to change the tide.  

Besides, the Supreme Court is now the Supreme Lawmaker and Legislator of Evil.  The "Change the Supreme Court" ship has long set sail.

The United States was founded entirely on Freemasonic and Protestant ideology.  Nothing about the U.S is Catholic. Nothing.  We have absolutely no good history of Catholicism other than a huge influx if immigrants coming to work in the steel mills and factories of the dawning Industrial Age.  We have fought no Crusades.  We have never battled against Islam.  We have never defended ourselves from heretics.  In fact, the United States has touted herself as a haven for all of the above.  

We had one chance at a Catholic president and that was John F. Kennedy.  He openly and proudly declared to the Southern Baptists that he was not going to allow the Church or the Pope to guide his decisions that affected the American people.  Did American Catholics jump up and down in the pews about that?  Nope.  They applauded.  American Catholics are really just Catholic Americans.  They could really care less about living by Catholic principles.  

I vote my Catholic principles.  

I won't vote for a Zionist.

I won't vote for a person who supports abortion for any reason.

I won't vote for Muslims or Jews.  I could vote for a Protestant, but see comment about Zionism.

I won't vote for war-mongers.

I won't vote for shills for corporations like Big Pharma or Monsanto.

These criteria eliminate just about every candidate.  Whoever meets these criteria will get my vote.  Otherwise, I will just stay home.

Every single candidate up there is an establishment shill for the perfidious jews - both the Federal Reserve and "Israel".

Absolutely correct. Well put.
