And Catholics are still a very significant voting block for Republicans (of course quite a few are likely single issue but they specifically might take the pope’s views a bit more seriously as well than more liberal Catholics)
Many Catholics currently feel politically lost, as weird as that is. You have so many "Catholics" running around DC, but few of them can or will regurgitate any of the teachings of the Church, Biden being the most recent prominent example.
Many are hopeful that JD Vance might finally fill that gap, but atheists and Evangelicals will probably keep their alliance growing rather than permit traditional Catholicism to have a revival politically.
Biden promoted direct theology against church teaching. The most obvious was his public and private stance on abortion, and beyond that, the actual work he did to bring about more evil through that dark ritual.

Yes but besides abortion you are entirely free to pick and chose right?
