text: I think there's a lot of misinformation abroad in the land...the notion that 24% of US citizens  are Catholic may be technically true as a preference but my fussing with CARA stats and others suggests that about 7% of US citizens actually attend church weekly...with percentages "once or twice a month" "several times a year" , "major holidays "... Bringing up the balance. 
  
  AND these "Catholics" have very varied views on access to contraceptives (Vast majority approve) to death penalty, gay issues, etc...Pew does a lot on this and it's clear that these folks are anything but monolithic in their views.  There is also the stat that 10% of the US has left the church.
  
  And then we come to the balance of our citizenry...the vast vast majority of our population...many of whom are going to be severely impacted by this election..and why in heck would they want to sit around with a Catholic official relative to the matter..they have friends, family, other faith traditions and associations?
