[Zionist Conspirator]

It is true that most Catholics supported the Democrat party for various reasons during the period after their immigration. However for some decades there has been a fairly significant transition to the Republican Party. During the past election only a small majority of Catholic votes supported Obama. This was largely due to the small but significant number of Black Catholics, and the much larger number of Hispasnic Catholics. White, Non-Hispanic, Catholics gave a substantial majority of their votes to McCain.

Maybe, but there are still old-timey urban Irish union goons around.

Did you ever dream the day would come when I would "defend Catholicism" on FR? I'd say we should make it a holiday, but it already is for Catholics, isn't it?

‘there are still old-timey urban Irish union goons around.’

True, but they are mostly urban, blue collar unions, and these sorts of unions are now vanishing, also Catholics are now mostly suburban, and less blue collar than in previous generations.

Yes this is the Feast of the Assumption (of Mary), one of the holidays that Catholics do not share with Protestants.
