2012 election - first time both candidates have Catholic running mates

Well I guess here's something you can say if you want to appear smart. The current election in the United States is the first election in which both major vice-presidential candidates (Joe Biden and Paul Ryan) are Catholic.

Also of note Pope Benedict XVI has a 74% approval rating and the bishops of the United States have a 70% approval rating among American Catholics, I bet Biden and Ryan wished they had those approval ratings (then the election would be over if one ticket had that much support).

My brain is so full of factoids.

Well at least republicans can say they have one Christian in the race.

Should make them feel better about all the religious rhetoric for the last four years.

You think the pope isn't a politician?

I am talking about Catholics. What I think doesn't effect Catholic approval ratings of other Catholics.

Mitt Romney does no wrong?

He is a conservative?

He will win 1980 Reagan style?

He is a fiscal hawk?

There needs to be a Biden/Ryan ticket

Joe Biden is not catholic because he goes against church dogma which is grounds for official excommunication which I would love for the Catholic church to do. He is unofficially in apostasy I believe.

hehe, that would be hilarious

I am pretty suprised that the Catholic church hasn't excommunicated most politicians who are also Catholic.

There would be a lot of people excommunicated, most people don't agree 100% with the church on everything

I also like how you just decided Biden was "unofficially" no longer a part of the Catholic Church

He suuports abortion, he supports gay marriage and shows no real knowledge or adherence to the creeds. These are things which the catholic church should correct him on publically and at the very least refuse him communion till he repents.

poor guy didn't force the views of his religion onto 300 million people.DroidPhysX

The poor guy shouldnt be catholic. Rather he should be a liberal episcopalian.

Well they will have to excommunicate a lot of people from the Church then if Biden is the standard for a heretic.

And lol@ saying he supports abortion
