Democrats have declared war on the Catholic Church, with new laws that threaten to bankrupt Catholic schools, hospitals, charities and parishes. Thus far, the worst attacks have come in New York.

55% of Roman Catholics voted for 0, why attack your base?

Because they are lemmings and will go along to get along.

You beat me too it - but I have the answer... Because the Dems know that 55% of Catholics will continue to vote for them no matter what they do.

Bzzzt. Baloney.

I don't think the Dems are doing this to punish Catholics for their votes. As you note, most Catholics voted Dem (so say the exit polls, at any rate).

Rather, I think they are doing this, at least partly, because Catholic schools, hospitals and charities provide a private alternative to government services. Therefore they must be eliminated.

That figure is for CINOs. Weekly Mass-going Catholics went 55%-43% for McCain.

That's the beauty of this irony. It will also happen to others in the base. But, they won't see it coming and will wonder what the heck happened. Obama's fascism will eventually destroy everything if not stopped.

A significantly lower number of weekly mass attending Catholics voted for Obama, and the majority of those were Hispanics, who unfortunately live in parishes where the Dem party is more important than the religion. The non-Hispanic weekly-mass attending Catholic vote was less than 30% of the theoretically Catholic vote.

This means that most of the Catholics who voted for Obama were ethnic Catholics (that is, Irish-American union members who always vote Dem, never go to mass, but claim to be Catholic based on their grandparents’ religion) or Hispanics, who have been totally sucked in by the Dem party and their lousy “liberation theology” Anglo priests.

BTW, a majority of mainstream Evangelicals voted for the 0. Only conservative non-Hispanic Catholics and very conservative Evangelicals did not vote for him.

"55% of Roman Catholics voted for O"

It takes more than professing to be Catholic to be Catholic. The overwhelming majority of Catholics who actually practice their faith voted for McCain.

I am a Roman Catholic. I have voted in every election since 1972. Nobody ever asked me for whom I voted.

Because there stupid. You get what you pay for. As for Catholics they get what they voted for. I don’t feel sorry for idiots.

I think that 55% figure, if valid, must be disproportionately weighted by big city residents as so many surveys are. In my smaller town out west there were NO Obama or Democrat bumper stickers in the parish parking lot and inconceivable that many voted for him. I mean, out of a parish membership of thousands, maybe a handful voted Obama for inexplicable reasons. Respect for life is a regular/weekly homily topic and membership conversations along the same lines are common.
