What I consider liberal is the Catholic vote being an extremely dependable vote for the left in election, after election for generations. There was nothing unique about the Catholics electing Obama.

You statistics are scewed. Blacks are mostly Protestant so they need to be factored in with White Protestants if you want to compare apples with apples. Lapsed Protestants self-identify as non-religious but many lapsed Catholics self-identify as Catholic for cultural reasons. One simply cannot be a good Catholic and vote pro-choice.

Still, I would share your dismay for even one Catholic voting liberal, but God's Church cannot be judged by the failure of those who claim to be its members. Should Moses be rejected for unfaithfulness of the Israelites?

Patently not true.

"But when we hear that 54 percent of American Catholics voted for President Obama last November, and that this somehow shows a sea change in their social thinking, we can reasonably ask: How many of them practice their faith on a regular basis? And when we do that, we learn that most practicing Catholics actually voted for Senator McCain." - Archbishop Charles Chaput.
