1/4 of the population is Catholic, but just 1 Catholic is listed as a "50 Most Influential Christians"?
I counted at least 2 Catholics, Sandra Day O'Connor and Alan Keyes. Don't know about a few others who might be Catholics as well. But I find it odd that like a third of Christians in the U.S. are Catholic, yet less than a handful are included among the 50 most influential Christians in the U.S.
And let's pray he's misplaced. If Gregory's influential, the Catholic Church in America is in trouble. Ratzinger sent his memo to him too, and Gregory didn't have the cajones (or more likely, the desire) to let the other bishops know where the Vatican stands on CINOs like Kerry.
Hmm.
* Mother Angelica, EWTN
* Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life International (Extremely influential amongst Protestant pro-life leaders, especially behind the scenes.)
* Tom Monahan (of Domino's and Ave Maria U. Fame).
* Sean Hannity (Ok, so he's waffly at times in his positions concerning his faith, but he's still very influential).
I could go on...
