Catholicism. First, it was the basis for her ethics and principles; IOW, she wasn't grandstanding for political posturing. Second, it was in contrast to the current meme that only evangelical Protestant Christians have the exclusive message on right-and-wrong and therefore, are "in charge" of the rest of us. Finally, I appreciated her indignation as far as she wasn't going to be denigrated because she is a woman, a Democrat, and a Catholic.
