I don't think the Dems are doing this to punish Catholics for their votes. As you note, most Catholics voted Dem (so say the exit polls, at any rate).

Rather, I think they are doing this, at least partly, because Catholic schools, hospitals and charities provide a private alternative to government services. Therefore they must be eliminated.

That’s right. In their Catholic-bashing mode, they are forgetting the big picture, and shame on them!

It's a plausible explanation. I'm sure they figure there won't be any consequences.
