Yeah, P-C, unfortunately I discovered that when I used the phrase "epic fail" a few years ago and a coworker got super offended.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Random information for the evening... if you leave the space out of "got it" autocorrect changes it to "forbid".
Forbid.

Catholics do not have a deep moral objection to contraception.

Related to that, with all the hubbub over the requirement to cover birth control in health plans, I learned yesterday that it is actually the law already in like 28 states. So all the sky is falling outrage from the church - they're already doing it all over the place.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Something like 97% of American Catholic women use birth control. That horse doesn't even remember where the barn was.

I think it is kind of weird that there are no references/worries about Santorum's Catholicism and Romney's Mormonism. I don't know whether we have come so far that it is a non-issue, or that some Republicans are so worried by a black man as president that other prejudices have gone out the window.

Sophia,
Romney's Mormonism is a bigger deal than the GOP establishment would like to admit. In the summer/fall there were reports that, particularly in southern states, the evangelicals did not trust Romney at all due to his faith.
I'm not sure where Santorum comes in because he's been a non-entity long enough that this question hasn't been raised.

The Archidiocese of Cincinnati is being a giant dick about it, and has said that if they're forced to provide health insurance that covers birth control, then they just won't provide health insurance at all, to any of their employees.

Republicans are so worried by a black man as president that other prejudices have gone out the window.
I know the Morman thing was a big deal early on, but I haven't heard much about it in recent months. (admittedly, my exposure is limited to Facebook, here, and The Week) I think that good old fashioned racism will unite Republicans (or any traditional white power base) forever and ever.
Post racial society MY ASS. (I literally cannot type the phrase "post racial society" without rolling my eyes.)
