Not so, they are all very involved, teaching, giving communion, deacons, on and on. I think most Catholics are hypocrites, and being raised so (12 years of Catholic schooling) I have seen enough to not have much respect for them in general.
So disagree if you will, but if I recall Obama carried most minorities (Mexicans) and many Catholics in his election bid.
My parents were Irish Catholic and always voted Dem.

They may do Catholic things, they may say they are Catholics, but if they support abortion, they aren’t really Catholics. My ex-wife and her family are the same way. They lie to themselves, because it’s the only way to deal with the internal guilt.

You say you think “most Catholics are hypocrites.” I would argue that people in general are hypocrites. Or, to put it more kindly, their actions fall short of their stated beliefs. But that’s human. Even the disciples couldn’t stay awake for an hour...

Most White, non-Hispanic, Catholics voted for McCain. The numerous Hispanic Catholics voted for Obama, and the substantial number of Black Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Obama.
