I don't think Catholics are claiming that they tipped the election.

What makes the Catholic vote particularly significant is that Kerry claimed to be a Catholic. As the story notes, when Kennedy ran for president he nobbled a much higher percentage of the Catholic vote . . . the analysis is focussed on why Catholics didn't vote for "one of their own". Mostly because he WASN'T; he only pretended to be.
