As long as they start attending a Protestant church, then they become better voters, but if they just quit having any religion, they keep voting like their Catholic counterparts.

Protestant Hispanics, even Evangelical Hispanics, vote strongly Democrat.

The Catholic church has not been " losing many followers world wide". Only in the Western nations where we are losing touch with God. Overall, the Catholic church has made gains.

Maybe the Catholic Bishops in the U.S. will reverse their position on illegal immigration now?

Actually Protestant Hispanics voted 56% republican in 2004, and 48% republican in 2008.
I’m not aware of numbers for the Evangelical Hispanic vote.

"Pew found about half of U.S. Latinos who left Catholicism did so before they arrived in this country."Another nail in the coffin of your claims re: the influx of overwhelmingly "Catholic Mexicans."

With the news out of Mexico it sounds like they’ve abandoned God.

its a long standing trend that as people become more educated they turn away from the Catholic church.
Once people realize they can read the bible for themselves and don't need a priest or a pope to tell them Gods words, they naturally turn toward the protestant faiths.

The Evangelical Hispanic vote went 50-39 in favor of Obama in 2012. Hispanic Protestants in general went 55-33 for Obama in 2012.
The future of Conservatism is not going to be found amongst Hispanics of any stripe. No amount of pandering by the likes of Boehner and Rand Paul will change how the majority of Hispanics vote.

I’m going to venture why this is true is because of the “liberation theology” in socialist Latin America, and prevalent in the Catholic Church. It’s an increasing influence here, also.

Protestant Hispanics voted 44% republican in 2000, 56% in 2004, and 48% in the perfect storm of 2008.
I would say that they are in play.
I’m not aware of their vote being tallied for 2012, are you sure that you aren’t just quoting polling during the campaign?

And the Pew would know, because if they were still in church, they would be sitting in one

It’s the Catholic Church, or abortions, pop culture and the liberation politics of hate. Besides, the further left they go, the more government becomes their god.
