We're not being tendencious in here. This issue is so controversial, and those who disagree with the Catholic Church doctrine, not the pope, can be denied communion because of this. According the Church doctrine they are under a severe mortal sin for supporting a legal crime.[[Special:Contributions/81.193.214.72|81.193.214.72]] ([[User talk:81.193.214.72|talk]]) 02:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC) |

I find it somewhat unfair that Catholicism is currently singled out as a religion in its relationship to American politics, since it tends to revive the old idea that Catholicism is a hostile, foreign element in US society. To be more equitable, there ought to be consequent material on [[Judaism and American politics]], [[Protestantism and American politics]] and [[Freemasonry and American politics]]. Those three social forces put together are arguably much more influential than anything Catholic in the United States. [[User:ADM|ADM]] ([[User talk:ADM|talk]]) 05:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC) |

==The most zealous Catholics in USA appear to be educated converts== |

This site: [[http://hnn.us/blogs/entries/49093.html]] has this text:"The good news for faithful Catholics is that their church is growing in the world (the newest data from the Vatican reports a membership of 1.131 billion, up 1.4% in a year) and that a resurgence of orthodoxy, under the leadership of Pope Benedict XVI, is on the move among Catholics all across the globe. In the United States, such evidence is quickly discovered with a look at Ignatius Press, the Eternal Word Television Network, the National Catholic Register, the rise of new religious orders and college campuses, and a multitude of sources on the Internet. The most zealous Catholics in this country appear to be educated converts, such as extraordinarily impressive Scott Hahn, Marcus Grodi, Helen Hull Hitchcock, and David Mills."[[User:Agre22|Agre22]] ([[User talk:Agre22|talk]]) 15:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)agre22 |

Revision as of 02:38, 25 May 2009
Francesco Rutelli Reference
He´s a former far-left militant and only recently become a catholic. The reference to him it´s no NPOV. There´s not any source that shows is current stance on the issue.81.193.222.101 (talk) 19:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Francesco Rutelli stance on abortion might have changed, since now he opposes legal euthanasia, like the italian language Wikipedia shows clearely. "A settembre 2006, nell'ambito del dibattito sull'eutanasia riproposto dal Presidente Napolitano, ha dichiarato la sua contrarietà alla "dolce morte" «finché c'è speranza per il malato», ribadendo anche la necessità di evitare l'accanimento terapeutico."Mistico (talk) 20:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Abortion / Partial Birth Abortion Difference
It should be noticed that one thing it´s abortion, other his partial birth abortion. It´s much more controversial since it kills a human fetus. Many politicians who support abortion, don´t support partial birth abortion. However, the Catholic Church hierarchy seems not to make very difference on that.Mistico (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Pro-life / Pro-choice Roman Catholics Congressmen and Governors Correlation
I ask someone, if possible, to show reliable sources that document the correlation betwen the pro-life and pro-choice Congressmen and Governors who claim to be Roman Catholics both from the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. I´m sure most Republicans are pro-life and, strangely, for a party so much conotated with the Catholic Church in the past, most Democratics are pro-choice. From the Wikipedia itself we can see there´s only a pro-life Roman Catholic Democratic senator, Bob Casey, Jr. in a total of four, that include two Protestants and a Mormon.213.13.244.249 (talk) 21:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Other religions and secret societies
I find it somewhat unfair that Catholicism is currently singled out as a religion in its relationship to American politics, since it tends to revive the old idea that Catholicism is a hostile, foreign element in US society. To be more equitable, there ought to be consequent material on Judaism and American politics, Protestantism and American politics and Freemasonry and American politics. Those three social forces put together are arguably much more influential than anything Catholic in the United States. ADM (talk) 05:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
