...when they or various people in the church said stuff they didn't agree with. When either said something that they didn't agree with they quietly ignored what JP II or Benny said.

Something that always burned me up during my Catholic days was how various Republicans had only to make the correct noises on abortion, gay marriage, and sometimes end of life issues and many Catholics would trip over each other to be the first to vote for these Republicans, no mater how awful these Republicans were.
