Talked to a Catholic Sister tonight on my phonebank shift.

I missed what order this wonderful sister belonged too; but, while she quickly informed me that she couldn't volunteer for the Obama campaign, she would vote for Mr. Obama.....and so would about 90% of her order.

It seems that, while the Catholic bishops are strongly in the Republican camp on the abortion issue, the nuns largely vote on social justice issues, meaning they're strongly Democratic.

She was very sweet and supportive; she says she will be praying for the Obama campaign as well as voting. I thanked her and said we need every prayer and vote we can get.

I do need to mention that my late sweetheart, Jeanne, was a devout Catholic who was devoted to the social justice teachings of her church.
