Specifically of interest is the fact that denying Communion to the CINO's actually DOES hurt the CINO's in the ballot box.

We will need to be VERY watchful now as more and more democRATS will be talking a more moderate stance on pro-life issues. They won't vote that way, just talk that way.

Not proven based on the data here. It didn't hurt this time. FWIW, I spent alot of time looking at polling data during the election. I didn't think it was hurting then either, but I also have never had good data on what denying the Eucharist does to actual swing voters. For the data to be meaningful you need to remove voters whose minds were long ago made up, and measure the swing voters.

That said, I don't care what it does at the polls, I think that Communion should be denied.

Suppose that 30% of Catholics in the USA are Hispanic and 40% of Catholics under 30 are Hispanic. Furthermore, Hispanic Catholics are more likely to actually attend mass. More likely to obey the teachings of the church.

What can be predicted about future relations between the Church and politics? Between the largest ethnic block of Catholics and politics?
