The problem for me is that the Catholic vote goes for Democrats, so this is not something that benefits conservatism.

In fact the real fear of conservatives, is that states like Texas go in the direction of the Catholic vote, like California did.

The "Catholic vote" is pretty closely split. If you exclude "Catholics" who don't actually attend church, it breaks pretty clearly in favor of candidates who are pro-life and pro-family.

Notice I said "pro-life and pro-family," not "Republican". I see no reason, as a Catholic, to be particularly enthusiastic about Mitt Romney. "He's less of a communist than Obama" is the closest thing I can give him to an endorsement.
