Ed Kilgore shows that Catholic views on issues like contraception, abortion and marriage equality are almost indistinguishable from other voters:
The idea that Catholics no longer behave self-consciously as “Catholics” on hot-button issues reflects the broader reality that they have become hard to distinguish from other Americans in their political behavior. And so whatever happens between the White House and the Bishops, it’s not likely to change the reality that the “Catholic vote” looks just like America.
