If the pope lived in Rhode Island, whom would he vote for? The moderate U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee? Maybe his Democratic opponent, Sheldon Whitehouse?

Now you can find out.

Thanks to the Catholic Voting Project, voters can see how Congressional candidates' stances on various issues such as abortion, gay marriage, immigration and war compare with the teachings of the Catholic church.

The voting project, which bills itself as "a resource for faith, politics and democracy," is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group, according to its Web site.

The site offers a Catholic voting quiz, in which you can compare your personal beliefs to those of Whitehouse, Chafee and Catholics bishops in the United States.
