>No wonder he has no problem with Obama!<

What is good enough for the 54% of Catholic voters who voted for Obama, is good enough for Jenkins.

What is good enough for the 54% of Catholic voters who voted for Obama

Although that 54% figure is widely quoted, it's based on shaky exit poll data:

    Category Results
    Total US Catholics 64,000,000
    Catholics Eligible to Vote (25% est) 16,000,000
    Catholics Registered (80% est) 12,800,000
    Registered Catholics Voted (70% est) 8,960,000
    Catholic Obama Vote (54% reported) 4,838,000
    % All Catholics Voted Obama (4.8/64) 8%
    % Eligible Catholics Voted Obama (4.8/16) 30%
    Total Number Surveyed in the Exit Poll 100,000
    Catholics Exit Polled (27% from poll) 27,000
    % Eligible Catholics Exit Polled (27/16000) 0.2%

***What is good enough for the 54% of Catholic voters who voted for Obama, is good enough for Jenkins.***

Shortly after WWII the suburbs blossomed overnight when the service men returned, married, and raised families. Churches were needed for the suburbs, and schools. Needless to say, land became scare, religious schools were overcrowded. Children who should have been learning a complicated religion such as the Catholic religion were relegated to the kind mercies of the government-controlled public schools.

The result? There are many, many so-called Catholics who never got sufficient training in their religion. Thus the cafeteria-Catholics don’t even know that they are NOT Catholics. Don’t let the polls fool you. The Church has not changed in its attitude to abortion.
