You know, the Latino vote went 71-27% Obama...but that doesn't tell the individual breakdowns within Latino religious demographic groups, which Pew Forum was polling prior to the election.
You can find that here: Latinos, Religion and Campaign 2012: Catholics Favor Obama, Evangelicals Divided
Only half (51%) of U.S. born Hispanics are Catholic; and of these, less one in five were favoring Romney going into the election (19%). That breakdown was 73% Obama; 19% Romney.
Among Evangelical Latinos, the breakdown was 50% Obama; 39% Romney; among all Protestant Latinos it was 55% Obama; 33% Romney.
Tell us, Cronos...what is it about Latino Catholics that almost 1 in 4 more would support Obama vs. Latino Evangelicals???
IoW, it's not ONLY Hispanic culture!
That same site has another example: Latino Catholics favor same-sex marriage -- 54-31%...whereas Latino Evangelicals disfavor same-sex marriage 25-66%...
What is wrong with Latino Catholic culture that is having a much greater drag, social issues wise, than other Latino religious sub-cultures?
(Oh, and btw, the problem here isn't only with Latino Catholics...white Catholics favor same-sex marriage 53-37%...so that's 54% of Latino Catholics vs. 53% of white Catholics...showing us that it's the Catholic culture itself that is, in part, corruptive...
You know what, cronos, you might just as well admit what is plain for the rest of us to see.
No amount of blame shifting and finger pointing can change the stats about Catholics.
There is a problem that is endemic in the Catholics church and has been for YEARS, and it seems that everyone can see it but the Catholics. They are in deep denial of the problem and until the man up and admit to the problem and either the church does something about it, or the congregants man up and demand that the church address the issue, it isn’t going to be going away.
It’s only going to get worse the longer it goes unaddressed.
Thanks for your work. Prepare for spin.
