**I think that you will see the opposite, as the Catholic church loses it’s older whites, it will become even more liberal.**

Are you kidding? The young people coming into the Catholic Church are more conservative. ALL the new priests know how to say the Mass in Latin — the old way. The pendulum is swinging back to the right.

And, yes, we do thank God for this change within the Church.

That is a very rah-rah, thing to say, but it seems to contradict the facts.

"Washington DC, Oct 8, 2008 (CNA).- A new poll of Americans ages 18-34 has surveyed the faith, politics, and issue positions of young adults before the 2008 election. The poll claims about 60 percent of younger self-identified Catholics say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 44 percent reportedly support same-sex marriage, a number which rises to 64 percent when religious liberty protections are emphasized."
"Catholics aged 35 and older are split between McCain and Obama 46 percent to 44 percent, but Obama leads McCain among younger Catholics 55 to 40 percent."
