Pronunciation
Noun
catho m or f by sense (plural cathos)
- (informal) Catholic, often one who is overly pontifical
2015, Alain Rémond, Que sont tes rêves devenus?, Le Seuil, →ISBN:Loin de toi l’idée de dénier aux cathos de droite le droit d’être de droite. Les cathos sont comme tout le monde : ils votent pour leurs idées, qu’elles soient de droite ou de gauche (ou du centre). Ce qui te déprime, ce qu’ils soient majoritairement, pour ainsi dire naturellement, de droite.- Far be it from you to deny right-wing Catholics the right to be right-wing. Catholics are like everyone else: they vote according to their opinions, be they right-wing or left-wing (or centrist). What depresses you is that they are predominantly – naturally, so to speak – right-wing.
