The voting response for the Top 100 Catholics for the 20th Century has been tremendous. There is one week left in order to vote since the deadline is July 4th. To give you a better idea of the list and how many have voted so far, we include the list to the right listed one through fifty. Your vote can still influence the Top 100. We have not listed anyone who received just one or two votes which were beaucoup. Readers still have the opportunity to "vote early and vote often" and can give us their input at
top100@dailycatholic.org on who should be on this prestigious list which we will reveal with the countdown beginning in a few weeks when we list the top Catholics from 100 in ranking, counting down to number one over the succeeding one hundred issues.
