"Latino Catholics appear to have been decisive in flipping three states from red to blue: New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada," wrote Michael Sean Winters, an author on Catholic issues and a regular contributor to a blog sponsored by the Jesuit-run America magazine.

Plus, "The states that are most Catholic - Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania - are also the states that are the bluest of the blue," he added.

From the article, by the numbers (xx means no percentage was given for this candidate):

xx% McCain, 26% Obama - Evangelicals
xx% McCain, 34% Obama - White Protestants
xx% McCain, 45% Obama - Protestants
45% McCain, 54% Obama - Catholics
xx% McCain, 67% Obama - Hispanic Catholics
xx% McCain, 78% Obama - Jews

I had an ex-coworker who is Catholic go out to lunch with me. We were talking about his new job, and he said that he worked with a Christian who he could not stand. The emphasis was on Christian.

I said, “I thought you were Christian?” He replied, “No, I am Catholic, not a Christian”.

I responded, “Oh.”

It never struck me til then that there still was such a deep schism in Christendom.

This is reason #8 while I’ll never convert to Catholicism.

Those illegals sure must fill up the collection plates.
