You know... I can't discount the possibility that the Catholic bishops in this nation, having that letter read in each and every parish over the better part of a month, are making one's denomination a factor in this years election.
Typically, the Church encourages the faithful to participate in the democratic process without pushing a particular candidate over another (I'm speaking of the Church as a whole, now... I'm sure there are individual exceptions)... but as Ryan said, a very clear line has been drawn by the Obama administration, and I think many Catholics that considered themselves "compassionate" conservatives are now looking to see who among the candidates is best going to "understand" their anger and frustration.
And Santorum is the only Catholic running.
