However you should prefer to define it. :)
The difference between conservatives and Catholics is, that we want people to abandon liberal churches, and become more conservative, we don’t want more pro-abortion, democrat voters.
Look at Hispanics, everyone knows that they vote democrat, but what people don’t know, is that Hispanics that become Protestant, become more conservative voters than the Catholic vote.
Bush got 56% of their vote in 2004, and McCain got 48% of their vote in 2008.
Catholic Hispanics, will never become republicans.
