I was shocked to find out
Someone I've known for thirty years recently admitted he hasn't voted since Obama. When I questioned why, I got some sort of mumbled excuse, 'well I was raised Catholic.' (abortion is some sort of deal breaker, I guess)
I fairly certain he hasn't 'been to church' more than once this century, but Holly Rolling Catholic doctrine still got him by the guilt trip.
I will never understand the logic of statements like that.
