Jaon wants class warfare to be the theme of the election. This is unfortunate because Americans don't like this (even if they should) and the GOP always gets the better of it. Obama cannot get white racist Catholics to vote for him. We forget perhaps the Catholic opposition to school busing in Boston. The fact that Catholic neighborhoods are usually all white bastions in the midst of black ghettos. Catholics may want to act and think like Vatican II has made a difference but in fact they still cling to Vatican I: to its peasant-like solidarity, its anti-semitism, its fear of change.
