Of course, if a high ranking church official were to say something critical of Democratic policies, such as when certain Catholic priests condemned John Kerry's pro-choice stance, then the media plays up this disagreement. However, notice how the media remains curiously silent about how Pope Francis's views on the treatment of immigrants and the poor are inconsistent with GOP orthodoxy. It simply does not fit the meme that Democrats are godless while Republicans are devout Christians.
