Is there a third or minor political party that is Catholic based or is only open to Roman Catholics?

I hope not.  Perhaps however, you are thinking of the Right to Life Party.  I don't believe any political party limits its membership based on religious affiliation.

I have money, and I am a Spiritual Democrat.\nMost Republicans and conservative born-again Christians like keeping a lower class citizenship, paying illegal immigrants to raise their children, clean their estates, and keep their gardens growing, so they can gather, hung-over on Sunday mornings, and pray for the poor they help.

None of the above.  I think the most important thing the party provides is branding.  Belonging to one party or another denotes a certain belief structure that people identify with.....also, they (hopefully) vett candidates so that any party candidate that reaches the election is "electable."  Putting that into the above answers, the best fit would be "nominate candidates."

Religion and politics are a BAD combination! You should keep the two as separate as possible as often as possible. No church should have an official political stance. If it does, it should lose its tax-exempt status.

I chose the party I currently vote in when I was about 22. It was a long debate, measuring pros and cons of both major parties and a few smaller ones. It was a painstaking journey. My mother and her side of the family wanted a Democrat, and my father wanted a Republican. I chose the party that best fit with my political beliefs. Needless to say, My grandmother has taken me out of her will, and my mother wants to constantly argue politics and religion with me.

Be a political party or start a religion

You should vote for the politician who you feel will do the best job.  Some third party candidates have been elected at local and state levels and several in US congress.  Third parties offer an alternative and I think that a conservative third party will put forth a strong candidate for the 2008 Presidency.  (maybe Constitution or Liberitarian)

I would suggest Lutheran and Episcopal churches.  They are the protestant denominations that are the closest to Catholics historically.  I know a few protestant/catholic couples who were able to find one of these they both felt comfortable in.

I would love to have a choice of a realistic alternative to Democrats and Republicans.

To find out how the parties differ check out the worlds smallest political quiz.  To find out about the the other political parties check out the Libertarian Party and Green Party.  See the links.

Any group can choose someone to represent them, and to act as a liason through which the group communicates their thoughts. That applies equally well to religious groups as any others.\n\nAs far as sending clergy to the White House, the Bush regime does have an office of Faith-Based Initiatives, which oversees and promotes religious solutions to social problems. It's primarily Christian in make-up, so any non-Christian group is likely to be margianlized, if not outright ignored. But Scalia and Alito say that's Ok, because they're not mainstream religions.

Mmmm... CENTRIST POLITICAL PARTY!\n\n"For example, I'm very much opposed to abortion, but I'm a strong believer in environmental protection."\nYeah, I'm pretty much anti-abortion. Environmental protection... how far are your beliefs? Because I'm okay with some aspects of that, but I have my limits.\n\n"I'm against high taxes, but I believe in staying out of wars whenever possible."\nEh, I'll agree with your view of high taxes (and of course pork-barrel spending). I'm not an isolationist, however.\n\n"I'm an atheist, but I have no problem with public displays of religious symbols or prayer in schools."\nWell good for you! Seriously, "atheist fundamentalists" are somewhere on my Top 10 groups of people thet annoy the hell out of me, and you aren't one of them.\n\n"I think both political parties have good ideas, and I have no problem taking the best ones from each of them."\nDude, I like the way you think (well, about this anyway)! Good luck!

Neither party has an "official" stance on abortion, but Democrats are typically more likely to be pro-choice, and Republicans are more likely to be pro-life.\n\nEDIT: \nBoth parties claim to support education, but they go about delivering that support in different ways.

The main ones are Labour (currently running the country), Conservative, Liberal Democrats. There are a lot of other political parties in England, go to one of the sites of one of the parties, and it should give you some sort of .gov link to a list of others, I'm not sure if it will, but it won't hurt to try it.

The party which is supporting said candidate is able to choose another candidate in his place.

It's not Parliament, it's the position of Head of State from which Roman Catholics and anyone married to a Roman Catholic are barred.\n\nIf the House of Commons and the House of Lords can allow Asian and African people into the chambers (Lord Tarsem King of West Bromwich, and Baroness Patricia Scotland of Asthal come to mind), then it's likely they'll allow Roman Catholics.
