The Catholics on this site must be a rare breed.
Unfortunately....you are more right than you know.
There are a lot of good, pro-life, conservative Catholics. What we would call "Reagan democrats." But, back historically, the Republican party used to be horribly anti-Catholic (its roots contain the "know nothings." Look it up if you're not familiar with the term). Until the abortion issue came out, the Catholic voting bloc was 99% Dem. Since Roe v Wade, church-goers have abandoned Democratic candidates, due to the pro-abortion issue; however, if the Dems would get smart and nominate a pro-life Candidate (and hell freezes over), I would wager that such a candidate would get 75% of the Catholic vote, at least.
Bottom line, you will see the majority of even good, church-going Catholics voting largely center to center-right. You will see cultural Catholics (those who aren't that adherent to the Faith) voting center to center-left. Not too much on the extremes, either way.
Frankly, I'm surprised there were as many who voted for Huckleberry as did.
