Shopping for a new church? Your politics may determine which pew fits

When Andre Audette first arrived at Notre Dame for grad school, he got a brochure about living in South Bend, Indiana.
That brochure included a section on churches and advice on which Catholic parish to attend if you were conservative and which to attend if you were liberal.
While Audette ignored the brochure’s advice—choosing a different parish altogether—the link between church shopping and politics stuck with him.
