“As an ex-Catholic may I remind you, however, that there is no such thing as the “White Catholic” Church”
1. There is no such thing as an “ex-Catholic”. If you are practicing the faith of your baptism you are a lapsed Catholic.
2. Of course there is no such thing as the White Catholic Church, but statistics are kept, and white Catholics voted for Romney with 59% of the vote. Obama carried the hispanics, so their percentage pushed Obama to 52% of the so-called “Catholic vote”. Catholics vote exactly like any other faith group. Devout Catholics vote conservative, the non-church going crowd vote for the man that will promise free handouts.
Meant to say if you ARE NOT A PRACTICING CATHOLIC you are a lapsed Catholic, not ex-Catholic.
That just isn't true, the Southern Baptists for instance, second largest denomination to the Catholics, vote about 80% pro-life republican, while the Catholic vote is pretty much a pro-abortion vote.
