Rather than risking further offense, I defer to your knowledge on the subject and will refrain from interjecting my own thoughts on Christianity and especially Catholicism.
Sorry, I know I sounded snarky. But my disgust with ill informed so called Catholic voters who helped but Obama in the White House has caused some overflow. I think the real problem politically is that we did not have a conservative Republican candidate running. So it made it much easier for those who usually vote Republican to switch party lines.
It also did not help that McCain brought a knife to a gun fight. Which any sage will tell you never goes well for the knife holder.
