american catholics simply do not care what their bishops, cardinals, and popes say IF THEY DISAGREE WITH IT

Demographic Reality:

65% Christians (in general)
20% Catholics (in particular)
14.5% Hispanic
13% Black
4.5% Hispanic

It would be catastrophic if the bottom three shifted against the Democrats. How about the top two? We don't need 100%. If 10% of Catholics listen to their bishops lay out the overarching issues and comply, it's over.

i think you mean 50% of the catholics, ie 10% of the population
