I find trying to bring up Catholic issue just nuts.. and damaging their credibility. The following is a break out of 1999 congress by religion ... It perhaps is not much different today... Another is Senator Leahy is Catholic. His voting has nothing to do against Catholics. It is his personal conviction concerning abortion that determines how he votes imo ps sorry about the way it prints. do not know how to show it as a table. but you can get the distributions.
