when I was a kid in Catholic grade school in an outer boro of NYC, in the early 1960’s....I visited friends of Irish-Catholic descent.... in every one of their houses was a big crucifix, a picture of the Virgin Mother, and a big picture or JFK (sometime there was a picure of the Pope...but the Pope was always Italian back then, so more often, not.)

I hate Romney...I hate his politics...I care not what his religion is.

I am not sure what your Catholic friends have to do with Romney, however Romney is who he is because of his mormonism.
If you do not understand what mormonism is you will not understand who Romney is.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.

I care what his religion is, because worldview matters. It is the same reason I wouldn’t vote for a Muslim, or an atheist.

The fact that I also used to be a member of Romney’s religion, I know more about it and the control it asserts than most people.
