Iowa Catholics talk about caucuses. "I'll vote for Peter Pan if he beats Trump."

It's an interesting article and there's no paywall. The reporter mentions that one big factor is the weather. If it's bad, only the most fervent voters will show up.

She was among more than three dozen Catholics who attended a presentation Jan. 9 at the suburban parish on the U.S. bishops' election document, "Faithful Citizenship." In a roundtable discussion afterward, six parishioners and Fr. Michael Amadeo discussed the upcoming election and the candidates — often on a first-name basis.

Dixie Webb, 68, and her husband Barney Webb, 63, have whittled their caucus candidates down to Sanders and Warren. Dixie, a retired school librarian and chair of the parish peace and justice committee, listed her top issues as climate change, health care and immigration. For Barney, a salesman, it was health care and a living wage. In 2016, both caucused for the Vermont senator.

The pastor Amadeo, 55, said that should he caucus, it will be for Buttigieg. His top issues include addressing immigration and health care.

Mary Wooliver, 70, is a retired X-ray technologist who worked at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Also concerned about immigration and health care, she's leaning toward Warren and Klobuchar. So too is Janette Bauer, a retired clinical nutritionist, but she said she may arrive at her caucus site uncommitted. In terms of issues, she added the court system and the environment, and was happy Democratic candidates have begun to really address the latter.

4. Good to read they are not basing everything on being rabid anti-choice. The anti choice rally

tomorrow in dc with trump will be filled with many catholic high school groups and families so good to read about some who don’t go down that road
and the priest supports Buttigieg

5. Polls say Catholics are more pro-choice than Protestants --

probably because the most rabid evangelicals are technically Protestants.
