More than half of all U.S. Catholics (52 percent) would cast a vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton if the election were held today, compared to just 32 percent for Republican Donald J. Trump...
More than three in four (76 percent) non-white and Hispanic Catholics would pick Clinton, with 13 percent choosing Trump.
Among white non-Hispanic Catholics, Clinton holds a much smaller lead, 44 percent to 41 percent....
Six in 10 (62 percent) white evangelicals say they would vote for Trump today, while 47 percent of white mainline Protestants pick Trump.
That comes from a new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, whose findings mirror a similar poll conducted earlier this summer by the Pew Research Center.
Trump’s trouble with Catholic voters was foreshadowed during the primary season, when a group of reliably conservative Catholics urged their fellow believers in the Republican Party to resist Trump, even after he had all but sewn up the nomination.
Those concerns were renewed this week when The Hill reported on comments made by the newly tapped C.E.O of the Trump campaign, Stephen Bannon. The former head of the conservative website Breitbart News had accused the Catholic Church of supporting immigration reform only to boost its own membership.
“I understand why Catholics want as many Hispanics in this country as possible, because the church is dying in this country, right? If it was not for the Hispanics,” he said in March during a radio interview with Princeton University Professor Robert George..
Nearly seven in 10 (68 percent) of U.S. Catholics say they support same-sex marriage, up from just 35 percent in 2003. At the same time, Catholics are about split when asked if support for same-sex marriage goes against their religious beliefs (45 percent say that it does)... of the Catholic “Never Trump” movement.
About six in 10 Catholics (63 percent) say businesses should not be allowed to refuse services to gays and lesbians based on religious objections.
When it comes to how friendly religious institutions are to L.G.B.T. people, Catholics think better of their church than the American public does. Almost half of all Americans consider the Catholic Church to be “somewhat or very unfriendly” to L.G.B.T. people, with 35 percent seeing the Catholic Church as friendly.
The numbers are switched for Catholics, with 49 percent saying the church is friendly and 45 percent who say it is not.
While U.S. bishops have made fighting same-sex marriage a priority for several years, just 37 percent of Catholics report hearing the issue discussed by their priest in the past few months.
you and your anti-Catholic agenda lose..... again
“Donald Trump is seeking to woo Catholics via a letter writing campaign as a new poll suggests the candidate is making up ground with Catholic voters, especially white Catholics who may hold the key to a Trump victory. In a letter to participants at the Catholic Leadership Conference being held in Denver, where one of Trump’s Catholic and pro-life advisers was advertised as a featured speaker, the Republican presidential hopeful said that Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine would seek an agenda hostile to Catholics.”

Good for you; Sister!
Good for all these Catholic Sisters and Brothers!!
Hopefully; PRAYERFULLY; a GREAT percentage of them!
Thanks dear. God bless you.
I see many things that the Church of Rome teaches that are extra-biblical; therefore I am NOT a Catholic.
Even so, what you've stated here is the message that ALL folks; Catholic, Protestant, uncommitted; will have to face some day.
I, for one, cannot defend the sinful, dumb, selfish things I've done. And any good thgings I might have accidently accomplished need no defense.
I'm hoping (and PRAYing) for Jesus' forgiveness that the Book speaks of.
May He come SOON!
We Prots are not much better.
I heard one time on FR that a poster’s sister was kissed by a MOOSE!
Thank you; Brother!
It seems that teaching the Catechism isn't being done very well any more.
2. I am not aware of anything the Bush administration did, one way or another.
3. Can they be expanded any more than they already are? The Bush administration did absolutely nothing to curtail abortion in this country.
4. We can take that issue off the table because the GOP nominees have been hard core supporters of "gay rights" for years.
5. Are you kidding? Look at the terrorist attacks carried out in this country by Muslims who were brought into this country during the BUSH administration.
6. Bush opened the door for that by turning so-called "religious" organizations into wards of the state. Christians will be much stronger when they cut their ties with Caesar completely.

Conservative Catholics exist, but they are definitely a minority as most of their co-religionists are determined to become “American” (in other words, accept a lowest-common-denominator vague Protestantism instead of true Christian faith based in Scripture).
Previous Pew polls have also shown that a majority of Catholics are not Catholic.
Yet who was actually appointed. Case closed.
2. I am not aware of anything the Bush administration did, one way or another.
See SCOTUS appointees. Hillary has more than once said she doesn't believe the 2A means what it says and wants to confiscate your firearms.
3. Can they be expanded any more than they already are? The Bush administration did absolutely nothing to curtail abortion in this country.
See SCOTUS and yes they can be expanded..see obamacare.
4. We can take that issue off the table because the GOP nominees have been hard core supporters of "gay rights" for years.
In 2004 the campaigned focused on God, guns and gays. The latter was against.
5. Are you kidding? Look at the terrorist attacks carried out in this country by Muslims who were brought into this country during the BUSH administration.
Did Bush 43 actively import Muslims into this country.
6. Bush opened the door for that by turning so-called "religious" organizations into wards of the state. Christians will be much stronger when they cut their ties with Caesar completely.
I don't think you can lay this at Bush's feet. A lot of organizations are willing to take taxpayer money like Catholic Charties.
If you want to believe there's no difference between a Bush administration and a prospective Hillary administration then I cannot help you see the difference.
Will you please stop stalking me?
Your behavior towards me is very unsettling and seems unstable to me.
Please stop.
Catholics who vote for a pro-abortion, false witness bearing candidate are not Catholics.
CINO.

Aside from the rhetoric of the candidates, there really is hardly any difference between them.
P.S. -- Barack Obama has a pathological hostility to guns, too. And he's been the best salesman the gun industry has ever had.
Yes.
SCOTUS appointees and Federal judge appointees. That's what this election is all about.
SCOTUS decisions on 2A and other key issues.
Greater expansion of government.
Immigration would look entirely different, though Bush and the GOP-e were for amnesty until the conservatives spoke up.
Further alienation of Christianity in this country.
P.S. -- Barack Obama has a pathological hostility to guns, too. And he's been the best salesman the gun industry has ever had.
Yes he has been. However, if we'd had Gore or Kerry, SCOTUS would look entirely different.
The 2A would have been greatly curtailed and possibly gutted.
No Roberts...though he's been a big disappointment.
No Alito...who's been pretty solid.
SCOTUS would have been 3-6 to the left. Maybe 2-7 depending on Kennedy.
We would not recognize the country. Not that I do anyway.
Best thing to do is to tell your fellow catholics to vote for Trump.
Just like their Pope.
