I’m saying that Catholics support the Democrat party and their politics, including abortion, and until conservative Catholics learn that, then they cannot fix it, the conservatives in the Southern Baptists for example wrested back control from where their convention was drifting, now they are probably the most pro-life vote of any church.

Fighting to remain ignorant of how Catholics vote, will never result in a solution to a growing problem.

Your anti immigrant and anti Catholic bigotry align you well with the KKK and GOP bigots who tried to OUTLAW the Catholic schools and whose hatred has kept many Catholics away from the GOP. It is sad to see that some conservatives still spout that unholy line of intolerant know-nothingism.

The following chart seems to indicate "white" Catholics are more conservative voters than non-white Catholics. I assume the Latino/Hispanic Catholic vote is the bulk of that "non-white" vote. In my experience as a military chaplain, there weren't great numbers of African-American Catholics.

Info from the 2009 Pew Research shows the following (PDF document copy/pasted) http://www.pewforum.org/Abortion/Support-for-Abortion-Slips.aspx

Legal, illegal, Don't Know
Catholic.................45 45 10
...White non-Hisp...47 44 9
...Attend weekly....26 67 8
...Attend less..........62 29 9
...Hispanic**.........39 48 13

Look at the numbers for "attend weekly". Faithful, regularly-attending Catholics reject abortion by a huge margin: Legal 26%; Illegal 67%; Don't Know 8%.

This study shows movement in the direction of life as well, but I don't know how to transport pdf charts to html on free republic.
