Sorry, McCain. Barack Obama is a natural for the Catholic vote. By Douglas W. Kmiec Posted Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008, at 1:29 PM ET My dear late mother would say: "Steer clear of mixing religion and politics in public discussions." Sorry, Mom, but the mix is unavoidable. Religion shapes us, and politics is our addictive national reality show. In any event, my faith, Catholicism, teaches that pluralism is enhanced, not threatened, when religions talk to one another.
