Daniel Burke and David Gibson, at RNS, have a great article on tonight's first-ever debate between two Catholic candidates for national office. They also link to Melinda Henneberger's wonderful piece in yesterday's Washington Post.

The public square is filled with religion, not always in ways I applaud, but in ways that are undeniable.
