Only some of the conservative Catholics who are embarrassed by the Catholic vote and don’t want to exam why it has always been liberal, insist on knowing how a person voted before counting them as Catholic.

Catholics who were baptized Catholic, who consider themselves Catholic, who go to a Catholic church if they want to attend a church, and who the Catholic church counts as Catholic, are counted as part of the Catholic vote, and the majority of Catholics have almost always voted liberal.

It is a simple political fact, and has been since the beginning and will be in our future, California is the future of America.

You and I certainly agree that too many Catholics (however you want to define them) vote Democratic, and that it'll get worse as more and more Hispanics become registered voters. (The same goes for the 20% of Hispanics who are Evangelical or Pentecostal, who become registered voters.)

And they're a much younger demographic than non-Hispanic white people, whether Protestant or Catholic. It's a long-term electoral/demographic problem we're all going to have to face.

Have a wonderful day.
