Since John F. Kennedy was elected our first Catholic president in 1960, it is common to assume Catholicism is no longer a political variable. But it is no coincidence that Democratic nominee Joe Biden, an observant Catholic, reversed during the current presidential campaign his longstanding opposition to abortion. This reversal was the product of pressure from elitist elements who haunt the Democratic Party by insisting on a pro-choice (and often pro-abortion) litmus test.
