Evangelicals voted 79% republican, which is pretty typical for them.
Catholics voted for Obama, again which is pretty typical for them.
We need to emulate Evangelicals, and make them examples of conservative virtue and commitment, we need "outreach" to try and persuade Catholics to become like Evangelicals in voting, or at least to become more republican.
Hang on. I don't dispute that we need to persuade Catholics to vote more conserative. But here is the difference: if a voter self-identifies as Evangelical, that probably means he is in some way actually an observant Christian. People don't call themselves that unless there is some real contact with or belief in the premises of evangelical Christianity in their lives.
Catholics are a different kettle of fish, however. There are millions of Catholics-Lite people who were born or baptized as Catholic but don't practice their faith at all, haven't seen the inside of a Catholic church in years, and are just referring to some long-ago cultural heritage that they have discarded along with other inconveniences. These people still say they are Catholic when asked, and for the purposes of demographics and voter polls are termed Catholics, but they aren't really, and they tend to vote liberal. The serious committed Catholics who show up in the pews every week are far, far more conservative. They voted for Romney. The priests in many Catholic parishes across the US read statements from their bishops about the issues in this election and took a very firm anti-Obama, anti-abortion, anti-Obamacare stance.
