This Fox News list of "America's Top Christian Colleges and Universities" is fascinating for many reasons, but maybe especially for the fact that it erases Catholicism from Christianity. i.e., schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame aren't mentioned at all.

The founded-by-Christians Ivy League schools are also missing, but that's less surprising, given that they've dropped their religious affiliations over time. Catholic universities, by contrast, still require students to take theology classes. And yet, they aren't included here.

The comments and QTs here make me wonder how many US Catholics are aware that a lot of conservative Protestants/Evangelicals don't see them as Christian. And it makes me wonder if knowing that might make Catholics less willing to align themselves with Evangelicals politically.

it's funny how many catholics are republicans. you know they're going to get Long Knifed as soon as the protestants can make it happen.

Fewer than you’d think, actually and most of those are single issue voters anyway. I was raised Catholic by staunchly dem parents. My super Catholic mother was fine with abortion and a dedicated Bella Abzug feminist.

I think nowadays that's not how most catholics are anymore. they're very anti-abortion.

I’m no longer practicing, but still have a lot of still practicing friends and like I said, you’d be surprised. Yes they’re against abortion for themselves. What anyone else does is between themselves, their doctors and God. See Joe Biden.
