As to the substance of your post, Daniel (thanks for the updates...) Who Cares? USCC has zero influence on any thinking Catholic, and frankly, their generally "inside-the-beltway-elite" pronunciamentos have been studiously ignored (although sometimes fought) by actual Catholics. Finally, this will be the last gasp of the Bernardin Mafia, as Bernardin's worshippers are dying, as expected. The JPII/B-16 cohort is now (as you noted) 45++% and growing. “Goofticket” is an appros name.

Period, there is no wiggle room on this, in Catholicism. Rooting is fine for a politcal candidate....but what were the Las Vegas odds when the College of Cardinals was burning straw and paper? Did you have an office poll on Cardinal Sarducci? Catholic bureacracy is not determined by a GOP popularity contest approach. It's the ability to understand, and impliment church ideology. What is going on in America is of little concern for the church in Rome. The majority of Catholics are not in America. It's fools, like James Dobson are. Whoever gets the nod as USCCB President is going to have to deal with that loudmouth, and his non-Catholic political supporters. It's a Catholic thing....and nobody elses business. Just like it's the Catholics cause to show Mormonism as a cult; and Protestants as heretics. Unfortunately, there are some ill-informed that think religion is a political action committee...and they want theocracy. So why does the USCCB even have a democratic vote on the office? Catholics cannot support anyone who is divorced.

As my Catholic friends will tell you, I'm quite proud of my Protestantism, even as I pay a lot of attention to ecclesiastical politics. As a Milwaukeean I am generally inclined to root for the local guy. As a conservative, politically and theologically, I want conservatives to win positions of influence. The USCCB president plays an important role in setting the Catholic public policy agenda, and I'd like to see Archbishop Dolan hold that post. Instead, we saw a bishop win who is at best a centrist who is strongly supportive of amnesty for illegal immigrants. Anonymous:
