A friend who is a trad Catholic also cares. Personally I voted against the
initiative but is still remains that it passed in one of the reddest of
red states with a 15 point margin.

A couple of my neighbors had vote no lawn signs and there were quite a few
around town, most with no other political signs. The closest thing we have
to a megachurch had a large sign and I'm told pastors and priests were
using pulpit time to talk against it.

If it was only this county I would say sure but it was state wide in a
state Trump carried by 20 points.

Follow your conscience but if you're a politician it's not as much of a
vote getter as some believe. It similar to the Catholic Church's stance on
contraception versus what happens in Catholic bedrooms, and apparently
when the voting booth curtain closes.

Catholics are the largest denomination in Montana although that doesn't
mean much with the Protestants divided into 3612 storefront sects and a
few mainstream denominations.
