Wonder how many stayed home?
As a Catholic, I really couldn't guess. But, I do know that there is a high percentage of CINO's. In fact, a woman told me that even though she supported abortion she was just as much a Catholic as the Pope.
As I look back over the past 40 to 50 years I think that I know the reason for the high percentage of Catholics who vote for pro-abortion politicians.
There is the lovey-dovey, touchy-feely, hopey-changey attitude of the priests. This also is observable in the Protestant pastors as well.
They have done this to maintain the head count in their parishes and congregations because they have bills to be paid. So they have allowed the infiltration of ideas and behaviors that run contrary to pre-Vatican II dogma.
The net result is that morals have been diluted and the priest and pastors in many instances have become moral eunuchs.
76% of Hispanics, MOSTLY Catholics, disobeyed the orders of their bishops. 92% of blacks, Christians mostly, disobeyed orders from many of their pastors NOT to support a candidate who advocated same sex. Their is an ELECTORATE problem in America.
I know of some very conservative church-going Catholics who said they would not vote for Romney. Anecdotal evidence only, and they were just a small number, but one wonders how many others did the same.
I know of evangelical Christians who refused to vote for either Obama or Romney. Obama, because ... he’s Obama, with all the baggage of the left.
But they wouldn’t vote for Romney, because he’s an evil Mormon, with plural wives in a cave somewhere up in the hills of Utah...
No, I’m not kidding. There’s a lot of crazy stuff that comes down from the pulpits of a lot of churches.
