Catholics, Abortion & LeviathanCare
Gormogons Twitter follower S.E. Cupp is dead-on in her diary (in which she reveals her academic past as the curatrix of a The Greater Connecticut NKOTB Museum):
I read Kathryn Lopez’s account of the chaos among Catholics on health care reform in National Review Online. Nuns love the bill, the Bishops hate it, and surprise, surprise, there’s no consensus among Catholic voters. This rift is underscored of course by the fact that 56 percent of Catholics voted for Obama—the most progressive pro-choice president we’ve ever had—despite their insistence that life issues are the foundation of the faith. To say that Catholics need to do some soul-searching is a gross understatement.
The nun thing was a liberal press stunt, but the larger point about the Catholic electorate is right on.
Astute Gormogon readers—that’s all of you, right?—will recall a previous discussion apropos a piece by the witty Miss C, on whether there is a meaningful Catholic vote anymore. The atheist pundette may have more hope than your Catholic Volgi in that regard…
Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu.
