1972 was only the second time that republicans won the Catholic vote in our history, and it was almost all white back in those days and before, white Catholics became a little less liberal in recent years, as you pointed out, against the infanticide commie, they went republican by 52%.
Unfortunately, that isn't the actual Catholic vote, Obama still won the Catholic vote.
Whites have been leaving Catholicism for many years, in fact without immigration to maintain the numbers it would be a lot smaller and it is becoming an Hispanic denomination, in other words, the Catholic vote will return to total normalcy pretty soon.

You’ve lost about 20 percent of your total membership, going from 62 percent of Americans to around 52 percent of Americans in the last 15 years.
Catholicism has remained stable.
Most of the protestant losses are white mainline groups - people like the episcopalians, lutherans, presbyterians.
There’s no evidence of similar losses among White Catholics. If anything, at least in America, there are more white Catholics than before. :)
As I said, you’re antagonizing your own team.
