The majority of catholics don’t live in America. Even with them, though, I consider them the same as my conservative, evangelical, Baptist relatives in W. North Carolina. The tradition of being democrat hasn’t yet been replaced by careful consideration.

I, too, was a democrat once upon a time.

The prop 71 vote was not related to party and it was opposed by the Catholic church, Catholics are Democrat because they agree with them, not from "tradition".

Catholics poll low on pro-life which befits their voting and would account for the pro-Obama vote.

So true. The change is happening, but it’s slow and will take a long time.
