35. He is trying to keep the money coming in from the conservative Catholics

As they are probably on the fence with Pope Francis being Pope Francis on other issues that get them all upset (let's care about the poor again). There is no realistic chance for 2/3rds of Congress and 3/4ths of the states to pass a federal constitutional amendment on anything nowadays never-mind the gay marriage issue. It really is the only remaining way with the Supreme Court upholding DOMA unconstitutional and all the state constitutions being overturned as unconstitutional.

The US Catholic Bishops are in dissaray now because of Pope Francis, they know going full ultra social conservative is not a guaranteed way to a promotion to the red hat.
