Resumo:Religious factors play an obvious role in shaping American political approaches.

Nevertheless, Catholic votes matter as they did in the recent presidential election where 54 percent went to the Protestant and pro-choice Barak Obama. Given the electoral importance of American Catholics, questions naturally arise about the determinants of their political behavior., Few observers inside or outside the Church need reminding that Catholics do not march in lockstep with Church leadership, even while that leadership does have influence.
