The Catholic denomination supports the democrat party.

America’s second largest denomination, the Southern Baptists are about an 80% republican vote.

Protestants as a whole have only gone democrat 3 times in history, the last time was in 1964, Catholics have only voted republican 5 or 6 times, and only once against a democrat incumbent. The Catholic vote is pretty much where it has always been.

Dear ansel12,

A comparison between the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptists is a little silly, since the Catholic Church is multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural and universal, and the Southern Baptists are a group that was founded by white Protestants out of the divide of the Civil War. Where the southern side took up a defense of slavery.

In recent decades, the Catholic Church votes a lot like America votes. Which isn't surprising since ethnically, racially, politically, geographically, the Catholic Church in the United States LOOKS a lot like America looks. The Southern Baptists look a lot like... the Southern Baptists.

Even so, it's merely anti-Catholic bigotry to refuse to acknowledge that the intragroup differences in the Church are sufficiently large as to render a statement like, "The Catholic vote is this or that" sort of foolish.

And certainly, with 48% of Catholics voting for the Republican candidate this year, this statement is just pure idiocy:

"Catholics and liberal is not two different things,..."

LOL. Not to be taken seriously.
