Uh,...

Gray Davis........ Catholic
Cruz Bustamante....... Catholic
Arnold Schwarzenegger...... Catholic

and

Tom McClintock........ Catholic

From the National Catholic Register article, "Note to Arnold: If You Win the Governorship, Watch Terminator II Again" here:

These two issues alone should ban him as a biohazard - too toxic to touch. We have unambiguous statements from the Vatican that make clear it is sinful to support such a candidate, particularly when there are reasonable alternatives. Read about them online at www.traditionalvalues.org.

This isn't a case of choosing the lesser of two evils - and that's perhaps the one positive aspect of this electoral pandemonium: The structure of the recall election prevents the two parties from offering voters a choice between pro-abortion Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

If pro-life, pro-normal-marriage voters united behind a single candidate, he might very well win with only 25-30% of the vote. It's unlikely he could do much to restrict abortion in California, whose legislature legalized the procedure years before Roe v. Wade snatched it from voters' reach. But he could provide leadership, thunder from his bully pulpit or nibble away at public funding for destruction of the unborn. Small steps - little things - but real ones. The road to heaven is paved with them.

More importantly, the defeat of a socially libertine Republican would prevent the powerful pro-abortion faction in that party from growing still more influential.
