With questions of Romney’s Mormonism on the back burner, the religious focus of the campaign will likely shift to a debate about Catholic values. The church has sparred with both parties this election year. Catholic bishops supported a lawsuit against the Obama Administration’s requirement that employees of Catholic hospitals and universities receive birth control coverage. But they also attacked the House Republican budget, written by Ryan, for proposing cuts to programs that aid the poor and elderly.

Congressman Ryan’s Catholicism seems different,” he says. “It’s about obedience to the bishops, about pro-life politics, and reflects the professional class of Catholics who made it out of the old neighborhood and into the suburbs.”
