There probably is a difference in %'s by region and area. I'm in Chicago and the vast majority of Roman Catholics that I know voted for 0. A great many of them regular church attenders.
Here in NE the Catholic church has been riding and pushing the ‘social justice’ over and above any anti-abortion message. The message is clear by implication - don’t be afraid of ‘change’, embrace ‘hope and change’, you must protect the environment and oh yes, don’t forget to increase your donation.
Today’s (Sunday) edition of the Boston Globe has an article commenting on the evolving ‘love-fest’ between Cardinal O’Malley and the aggressively pro-abortion (and I believe “Catholic’) Mayer Menino. The article made the point that O’Malley despite earlier objection to the pro-abortion position, the two are great friends and partners now.
Given the message from the pulpit and our own little parish in New Hampshire, I find the 55% vote for the Big O - is definitely believable and is NOT just immigrants. Friends in parishes in upstate NY, OHIO, etc. are all seeing the same leftist crap. Refusing to recognize the take over by the ‘Pink Mafia’ in our seminiaries and episicopate is what led to the abuse problem. Don’t let it happen again.
