A lot of Catholics have been democrats since JFK. I don't know if he was the first Catholic to run for the presidency since the founding of America, but he was the first to win it. This was a huge deal to Catholics, and many have since remained democrat simply beacuse of that.

Sorry, but that isn't accurate.

JFK got 82% of the Catholic vote, but before him, republicans had only won the Catholic vote once in our history.

Catholics actually became less democrat during the 50 years since JFK. Today you are living in the least democratic voting period of Catholic history.

“Today you are living in the least democratic voting period of Catholic history”

What, you mean you were wrong about Hispanic Catholics all along? Gosh, imagine that.

Let’s see - more hispanic Catholics and Catholics as a whole are voting more republican? Logic suggests that hispanic Catholics are trending republican, no?
