The Catholic Vote - An Editorial: (For reference only. Readers are invited to make comments when he/she sees fit. Have fairness to respect individual views!

"There are 47 million Catholics in America as the largest single faith group in the nation.(about a quarter of the voters) Joe Biden has his Catholic faith. Since 1960, the selection of US presidents has depended in large measure on the ballots cast by Catholic voters." as published in such editorial.

In China,Catholic are considered as Christians. "Laotianye" may be applied to all folks with faith. As far as I know,there are more Protestant Christians due to misunderstanding of the so-called power of the Pope. Actually,Pope has authority in faith and morals. Confucius taught morality and ethics. Confucius could have been the forerunner of Christianity as he lived circa 551-478 B.C. if I am not incorrect apropos of such historical record. History may be somewhat distorted by historians.(sic)

Sino-American Economics may have a bearing with politics and faith because of politician's decision. Economic policies would have repercussions on all folks in this mundane world. The Kingdom of God is supernatural in conceptual understanding. As long as we are living in this world,we are bound to encounter various fields of economics. When all humans leave this world,he/she would realize that the letter M can be found in his/her palm to remind him/her about Mortality. i.e. We are all mortals,indeed!
