Kurgan - do you have any proof that US catholics face a situation where we "need a political leader who will fight for their freedom to practice and enforce Catholicism as they define it"?  Are US Catholics' freedom to practice being constrained or limited in the US?  Sorry, your other point is unconstitutional -we have separation of church and state and thus no leader may *enforce Catholicism as they define it" - geez.  (btw - very few current US bishops are "great men selected by God himself)
