As, for example, the Bob Jones University incident; 'Dr.' Ian Paisley, 'spiritual' leader of the mobs who burned Catholic families out of their homes in Northern Ireland in 1969, got his honorary 'doctorate' from Bob Jones.

"Catholics keep voting Democratic. In 1996, 54% of Catholics went for Bill Clinton, 38% for Bob Dole. They were among the few groups whose 1996 support for the president increased over its 1992 level. To be sure, the percentage of Catholics who identify themselves as practicing has declined quite sharply, from 73% in 1960 to 46% in 1996.

But even among "active" Catholics, who attend Mass weekly, 44%, a hefty plurality, supported Clinton, while 47% voted for Dole. (These figures are taken from a Crisis magazine survey of Catholic voting patterns in November 1998 and June 1999.) "
