For what it's worth, I am LCMS. I am not anti-Catholic. I'm saying that if you want to claim Steele because he's Catholic, you're also going to have to claim Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, etc.
The most prominent LCMS politician I know of was Paul Simon and I am embarrassed to admit he was LCMS and would not have voted for him under any circumstance.
Yet the LCMS is a very conservative denomination so go figure.
I'm happy that you're happy but I just wouldn't read too much into it for the reasons stated. Religion should have more to do with a person's political beliefs than they obviously do. I would never vote for a person based on what church they attend. It's not reliable.

Exactly right. I'm Catholic, but I don't base my vote on anyone's religion.

I didn’t vote for him because he’s Catholic - but I am still proud of it. We NEED cosnervative Catholics to speak for the GOP, among others. I don’t know what LCMS stands for...

“Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry” are not devout, not Mass-going, and not pro-life. At best they are Catholic in name only. At BEST. At worst they are apostate and hell bent, literally.
