If I recall, Al Gore took the Catholic vote 54 to 46. So a Romney lead with this group is significant.
Only one third of Catholics attend church regularly. Another third Easter-Christmas-Mothers Day and the last third never go to church. That last third is strongly Democratic.
A church that is unequivocally of the cloth about social issues like homosexual marriage and abortion yet only 51% of their members can get the gumption to vote against it?
Tells me average Catholic isn't too in tune with Rome.
I ain't Catholic, don't have that issue politically. My church is probably 95% conservative. My issue in my denomination would be stupid preachers asking for money on TV and angering me but in this dissonance between Rome and her flock.
I'm with Rome and they need to crack that whip....or really clean their herd. Pelosi should not even be allowed in much less kneel at the altar unless she is formally repenting.
One thing I did notice growing up in Dixie where most old bloods were Protestant except the Creoles was that my Irish and Polish and Italian and Leb Syrian Catholic pals could get away with more and get forgiven easier an option we did not have ...no question fire and brimstones had it's effect...that and shame instead of guilt but...those nuns would sure light em up...the Gloriosos, Avalonis, Saiks, Iupes, Simons, Reillys, Supernovich, Necaise...etc ..were all terrified of their nuns...they wore big stern habits in those days too
