American Catholics are almost evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, which means the Catholic Church can either self-destruct or bridge the partisan divide, the UPI website reports today (August 1, 2019).
Most other religious traditions in America are on one or the other side of the political divide.
Most white evangelicals and Mormons vote Republican; most Jews, Muslims, and black Protestants vote Democratic.
Partisanship has become a threat to Catholic unity in America, even more so than theological differences. How the church responds to political division will determine whether it explodes in partisan acrimony or becomes a force in healing the partisan divide in the U.S.
