I guess if include people who haven't been in a Catholic Church since they were baptized as an infant and who now attend some non-Catholic Church, as in "have you ever been Catholic", maybe you could get 54% but I seriously doubt it.
The larger point is lost in whether it's 54%, 45%, or 69%, the point is that some people use one definition for a given group they want to make look superior in one case so they have a number they like, but do not apply the same standard to other groups in the same case.
The example I referred to was one posted shortly after the last election that had Evangelicals as a completely separate group from Black folks but included Hispanics in the Catholic group. Knowing that black folks went for Obama by 95% or better, they were excluded from the preferred group but knowing Hispanics went heavily for Obama didn't rate their being excluded from the Catholic group. That's the point, cherry picked, bogus numbers.
Even with people who haven't been in a Catholic Church since they were baptized as an infant included in the Catholic group, Hispanics excluded, there's no excuse for Catholics voting so heavily democrat and still claiming to be Catholic. Defending the way one group or another votes or doesn't misses the point entirely.
The point is that some people pretend to deal in fact when in reality they have no problem dealing in self serving fabrications.
