If you doubt my numbers put on your thinking cap (if you don't have one borrow one from a Catholic) and determine what percentage of the 68 million Catholics in this country are registered to vote and of that percentage what percentage actually turned out to vote.

Well first, how about we subtract from that number the Catholics who passed on, those who left your religion in search of God, those who are registered Catholic who never set foot in a Catholic church other than the day they were sprinkled, etc...

And who knows how many Catholics didn't vote because McCain AND Obama were both too conservative for them???

And let's not forget the 30 million Catholics who are in our country illegally who are counted in your numbers...

Could be 99% of registered, living, actual Catholics voted...

30 million Catholics who are in our country illegally who are counted in your numbers

Proof for any of your statements? Let's see how false your statement is:

  1. Total number of illegals is supposed to be from the Christian Science monitor "from about 7 million up to 20 million or more", "Based on the national census in 2000, the US Census Bureau puts the estimate of illegal immigrants at 8.7 million. As of 2003, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services put the number at 7 million. Since then, United States immigration officials have said the number has grown by as much as 500,000 a year."

    Then The Department of Homeland Security reported that illegal immigrant population dropped to 10.8 million in 2009 compared to 11.6 million in 2008.

    So, even the Department of Homland affairs says it is 11.6 million -- how do you get the number 30 million? Do you just juggle up numbers whenever needed? No need to answer that last one

  2. Now, the number of Catholics in the USA. Let's look at the census numbers which (surprise, surprise) only counts citizens and the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churchs states that there are 60-68 million Catholcis

    even cia.gov says 23.9% of 313 million are Catholic as of 2011 -- i.e. 75 million.....

  3. Whichever the number -- your figures are wrong, either humongously wrong or just extremely wrong
