....studies of the 2004 results identified a new hardcore vote of roughly 16 percent of Catholics (nearly 10 million people) who attend church more than once a week and identify as ideologically “conservative”. George Bush targetted these people and increased his percentage of the conservative Catholic vote....

Michael Voris is the favourite talking head of the Catholic Taliban, that motley crew of traditionalists who believe in way-out stuff like “abortion is evil” and “Jesus rose on the third day”. He runs his own online TV station in Michigan and has hair so unreal it could be miraculous....He became a viral sensation after he posted a video arguing that democracy had been corrupted by the stupidity of the voters.

What a day this has been! Amanda Marcotte of the Guardian chiming in with a stupid column about the death penalty in Texas and little Dr. Tim of the Telegraph chiming in about American Catholics. It must be a full moon.

For those who are intellectual Catholics, please read this column carefully. Little Tim often gets his facts wrong and sometimes makes things up out of whole cloth. I’ve complained about him to the powers that be at The Telegraph but they, of course, ignore me.

I have long felt, largely due to my personal experience, that this group of Catholics is much bigger than people realize.

I stopped reading at “Catholic Taliban”. Screw him and the people who write his paycheck.
