I'm sure facts won't stand in the way of RC's proclaiming they are victims.
It's rather disappointing how easily the RC's are manipulated into attacking the best conservative candidates. They end up supporting the liberal almost every time and proclaim how conservative they are in the process. After 08 all we heard was how the surveys were wrong that 54% of RC's voted for obama and that the RCC is really really conservative. I suppose if they say it enough they will believe it.
When your faith is in a particular church then that which impugns its credibility must be denied, and when it is one which presumes an autocratic power to defines what is right and wrong, then it cannot be allowed to be wrong when it says it is right.
