Self Preening

Mark Silk

Forgive me, but I think it’s time to put aside the meme of Obama’s Catholic problem. As I predicted, Obama did about the same among white Catholics as among white Protestants in Indiana. (Actually he did a little bit better.) And he did significantly better with white Catholics than with white Protestants in North Carolina. What matters is the kind of white Catholics and white Protestants in a given state. More on this in due course.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
