more stuff:

In 2004 Bush increased his margin of Catholic support by 6 points from
the 2000 election, rising from 46 to 52 percent. Without this shift,
Kerry would have had a popular majority of a million votes. Three states
-- Ohio, Iowa and New Mexico -- moved into Bush's column on the votes of
the Catholic "faithful." Even with his atmospherics of terrorism and
Sept. 11, Bush required the benediction of the Holy See as his saving
grace. The key to his kingdom was turned by Cardinal Ratzinger.


Thank God for the Cardinal. Look what we'd have been stuck with otherwise.
