I only wish that we could count on the right kind of votes based on a legislator's identification as a Catholic. After looking at the "Catholics" like Leahy, Kennedy, Daschle, etc., I've decided that I should be called "Senator". I mean, if they can call themselves "Catholics", why not?

It's high time Catholics went for the GOP. Our family was about 30 years ahead of the curve on this, thankfully.

Santorum for President!

The biggest difference between the Catholic Republicans and the Catholic Democrats in Congress is that over 90% of Catholic Republicans in the House are pro-life while probably less than 25% of Catholic Democrats in the House are pro-life.

That's a great quote from Bobby Jindal. He gets it right without rubbing anyone's nose in it.

No question that there's been a convergence between Catholics and Evangelicals, brought on by the recognition that they have a common cause in fighting the Culture of Death.

Interestingly, most Evangelicals were also Democrats not too long ago. But the Democrats have succeeded in driving any sort of Bible-believing Christians out of their party, whether they were southern Democrats or northern ethnics.

Catholics don't agree with Luther's Sola Scriptura, but they do, or should, have a basic respect for everything in the Bible, as one Catholic politician notes. And I don't know how you can respect the teachings of the Bible and still favor a "right" to abortion on demand.

There are 154 Catholics in the new Congress - an all-time high - including 87 Democrats and 67 Republicans.

That should read "87 CINOs and 67 Catholics." I'd bet you dollars to dounuts that every single one of the DhimmiRAT alleged Catholics are pro-abortion and stand against Church dogma in other areas as well.

In 2003, Jindal lost to a Cajun Catholic. Many Bayou voters (especially those rednecks in Northern LA) stupidly thought he was Muslim.
