One sometimes hears the clanging of warning bells that the country is headed toward "theocracy."  But even if one defines a "theocracy" in comparatively capacious terms -- say, as a society which is influenced strongly by religious arguments in its public decision-making -- it seems that American Catholics are overwhelmingly oblivious to and uninterested in documents prepared by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops dealing with Catholic teaching on political matters, documents which the USCCB prepares for every election cycle.  My colleague Mark Movsesian has the details.
