I'm handing in my chapel cap.
There were only about 78 reasons I was having trouble being a Catholic before the election.
Frankly, I can't take it any more. Any other Catholics out there throwing in the towel?
More (but not THAT much) below the fold.
How did I miss this, in about 1995?
A month ago, the 1.7 million-member Christian Coalition released the results of an internal poll showing that 16 percent of its members, more than 250,000 people, are Catholics. Mr. Reed said his goal is to raise that to 25 percent by next year's Presidential election.

And now this: the Catholic Bishops have joined Christian Churches Together ...
"Despite its emergence after an election campaign marked by controversial pronouncements on faith and politics by conservative Catholic and Protestant leaders, the new group is expected to skirt most controversial public policy issues, at least for now, said clergy members involved with the organization."

Skirt public policy issues? Yeah, right.
What the Catholic Church/Catholics did during the election makes me want to nail my own theses to the door of my local church. But it's been done.
