I believe his support, and the general support of the California Catholic bishops, helped move many Hispanics to vote in favor of Prop 8. So I don't agree with your assessment on this.Alan Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007722006477331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-78444701759305122952010-07-28T07:37:04.026-05:002010-07-28T07:37:04.026-05:00Mahony's support for Prop 8 fell on Catholic e...Mahony's support for Prop 8 fell on Catholic ears trained in his version of Catholicism: private conscience trumps all, including Church teaching.

Not..."The Mahony Effect on CA Catholics"<br /><br />Not sure how we can blame Mahony here - he openly supported Prop 8 and all other propositions supporting traditional marriage, even issuing specific statements to California Catholics. Besides, I'm not sure a poll of "over 3000 catholics" is representative.
