This article is all over the place and makes no sense especially in relation to the headline.

More than 50 years after John F. Kennedys Catholicism stirred fears that he would be more loyal to the pope than to the people, Catholicism isnt nearly the political liability it once was. Being Catholic is what won him the election.

Virginia’s GOP US Senate candidate, Ed Gillespie, might fall into this category.

Running in a conservative district in the Richmond suburbs, Brat is described as both a Catholic and Calvinist, labels that would be considered incompatible in almost any realm. Hes a champion of a resurgent movement among Catholic intellectuals that seeks to marry Catholic social teaching with free-market economic libertarianism.This is not far-fetched. I haven't vetted the following quote, but it is attributed, in describing the Catholic social teaching principle of subsidiarity, to Pope Pius XI: "It is a fundamental principle of social philosophy, fixed and unchangeable, that one should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and/or industry."

It is those Unreformed Southern Catholics you need to keep your eyes on. But it has been my personal observation that if a group will play softball or eat with you at a picnic they for the most part aren’t too crazy.
But in politics a persons declared church group often have little to do with reality.
Jimmy Carter claimed Southern Baptist
Nancy Polosi claimed Catholic
Both groups agree that neither represents their views.

These prominent Republicans are emblematic of the new religious amalgam that, in many instances, has helped refashion denominational differences that were once almost insurmountable. Look no further than the stunning Virginia primary victory of Dave Brat, a Catholic with degrees from a Reformed Protestant college in Michigan and Princeton Theological Seminary, who took down House Majority Leader Eric Cantor last week. Running in a conservative district in the Richmond suburbs, Brat is described as both a Catholic and Calvinist, labels that would be considered incompatible in almost any realm. Hes a champion of a resurgent movement among Catholic intellectuals that seeks to marry Catholic social teaching with free-market economic libertarianism....
D.J. Conner: [confronted about why he has been sneaking off to church] Mom, I wanted to tell you. I just had some questions about God and stuff.
Roseanne Conner: Well, so why didn't you come to us if you had questions? You know, there's no two better people to answer your questions than me and your Dad.
D.J. Conner: Okay. What religion are we?
Roseanne Conner: I have no idea. Dan?
Dan Conner: Well... my family's Pentecostal on Mom's side, Baptist on my Dad's. Your Mom's Mom was Lutheran and her Dad was Jewish.
D.J. Conner: So what do we believe?
Roseanne Conner: Well... we believe in, ah, being good. So basically we're good people.
Dan Conner: Yeah, but we're not practicing.
