I am surprised by the Catholic vote, if the newspaper reports have it right.   I did not think bishops had that much influence over lay Catholics - do you think it did affect many Catholic votes - or was it more the issue of jobs and the overturning the establishment that Trump promised?

Can you write comments at your local newspaper?  Somehow, Catholics who do not agree with their bishops need to make it clear to the politicians that the bishops do not speak for all Catholics.  And other Catholics who do not necessarily agree with their bishops may take courage from having some speak out and say "I don't agree with the bishop."
