"Catholics for the most part vote democrat."

Where did you get that poll? I've been Catholic -- some say catholic -- all my life. I have never voted a democratic -- or is it a Democratic -- ticket.

Thanks, Cook, for the ping!

I didn’t get the poll from anywhere other than every Catholic I’ve known over the years. Most everyone I know who is Catholic, usually votes democrat, so they say. It’s usually because they’re Union, blue collar, etc. I grew up in a primarily blue collar, ethnic, catholic area and my family was a minority when it came to politics - my parents were Republican, blue collar, pro-union. The pro union thing eventually faded for most of them. My paternal grandfather and many from that side of the family were/are prominent in politics - republican politics. The other side is mostly dems. As for friends, past and present, they’re all predominantly dem and vote that way.

I’m a republican, catholic, or Catholic, conservative. There’s not many around here.
