“Maybe it’s because he was raised a Catholic, and is still devout — he attended mass on the day of his inauguration.”
I read that as devout to the surface rote of Catholicism, not as to the teachings about abortion, etc.
“devout to the surface rote of Catholicism”
a spot-on comment
could substitute most religions and state the same problem. There is a difference between going to church and being a Christian. All that may go to a church are not Christians, and perhaps related & because of that, many Christians that i know don’t go to a church.
