Collins expected to oppose Democrats' bill protecting abortion rights, citing concerns over scope

19. The largest, wealthiest religious organization on the planet needs the protection of Susan Collins.

Right.

Well, they can certainly buy anything else they want, so I guess no one should be surprised.

To paraphrase the famous song from "Damn Yankees: "Whatever Catholics want, Catholics get." Not disparage individual Catholics who are sincere in their faith--after all, Joe Biden is one, and no one can doubt that he is a man of character, courage, and good will. But the worldwide organization as a whole wields its power and wealth to defend the more extreme elements of its ideology from all challengers--regretfully with great success. On a global scale, it is an organization whose hierarchy acts like Ludlum's "Matarese Circle," worshipping not their deity, but rather control over people on a worldwide scale.
