I am not surprised by the election results. We saw similar response in German 1932 elections after the Pope forced the German Bishops to read the Vatican's prohibition of Nazi party membership for Catholics. The protestants reacted to "Vatican Interference" in the German election by coming out and voting for Hitler. Hitler received 90 percent of the protestant vote but only 10 percent of the Catholic vote. I anticipated the Bishops' column would result in more votes for the anti-Catholic side.
