The reality is that same sex marriages are illegal in the vast majority of states. "Redefinition" is not unreasonable. Lionel ( talk) 19:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
I've removed a tagged sentence that purports to indicate the launch date of CatholicVote, but it is only cited to a Youtube video (posted by an unconfirmed source) that makes no mention of a date. Would it be possible to get a reliable source for this information? Xenophrenic ( talk) 00:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
The reason given for removing the label "conservative" in the lead was that "source explicitly says 'non-partisan'." But that doesn't follow. Non-partisan means not affiliated with a political party but it certainly doesn't mean a given organization doesn't lean liberal or conservative or whatever. But I didn't revert the edit replacing "conservative" with "non-partisan" but rather proposed new wording incorporating both modifiers.
Now, is CatholicVote.org conservative-leaning? The fact that they don't explicitly self-describe that way certainly doesn't settle the question. In a preliminary review of third-party sources, I've found that a Santorum press release includes the president, Brian Burch, in a list of "conservative leaders." A progressive faith organization counts them as among conservative Catholics. Material on their own website also winks at the reality that they lean conservative (e.g. [1] [2]). - Hugetim ( talk) 17:24, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
The source is http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cmte=C00411181&cycle=2010, or it was until you erased it and then pretended there's no source. Still-24-45-42-125 ( talk) 08:03, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
On a side note, you have 24 hours to explain why WP:CALC is the "wrong policy", before I throw away all of your changes. Still-24-45-42-125 ( talk) 08:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
catholicvote.org has been fawning over the Ryan nomination for a few days now. With multiple articles in favor of the candidate. They have "enthusiastically" endorsed the GOP ticket. This goes against the national Catholic Conference of Bishops who have called the Ryan budget "immoral". The site is more devoted to espousing a political agenda than it is about Catholicism. 24.106.8.146 ( talk) 18:53, 14 August 2012 (UTC) Paul
The statement in the largest font placed prominently at the top of the organizations "About Us" page describes catholicvote.org with the following: "CatholicVote.org is a community of patriotic Americans who believe our nation’s founding principles are good and true, and worth fighting for." I'd appreciate it if Binksternet would discuss why he feels that the groups most visible statement summarizing who they are is "too much emphasis on self-published text" prior to again undoing my edit. 71.31.222.145 ( talk) 04:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC) Paul

There is recent controversy about CatholicVote and their collection of cellphone data of those at mass. I think it should be mentioned in this article. Thanks.
Here are two links from 2020. https://www.ncronline.org/news/parish/pro-trump-group-targets-catholic-voters-using-cell-phone-technology
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/ ahead-of-election-political-advocacy-group-says-it-aims-to-encourage-catholic-turnout-53570
The catholicnewsagency article says: "Some aspects of the group’s efforts, like mobile targeting initiatives that allowed CatholicVote to target ads to mobile users who had attended a church in the months prior, have been criticized in Catholic circles. Mobile targeting technology has become commonplace in modern political advocacy, but some Catholics characterized it as invasive." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.21.248 ( talk) 14:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
