True, but not in any great majority and less so than in 2008. Still, the American Bishops have their work cut out for them.
2008 almost 55%
2012 53%
Non hispanic whites voted in 2012 around 60 percent GOP
likely their highest for GOP ever
up until Bush II they tended to vote democrat always except for Magnus
they have come around some but with latino Catholics forget about it..a lost cause at 70% or more rountinely
my group white Southern Baptists vote non Democrat around 90% in mid south and nearly universal in the Deep South
I would venture Charismatics and Texas/TN COC vote the same
Muslims prolly vote universal Democrat...lord the irony in that...medieval allied with progressive humanist?
anyhow
Peckerwood Catholics have made progress and I’m proud of them and I think this Pope even though Jesuit is no MaryKnoll style kook...and smells conservative to me anyhow as an outsider
a conservative pope always helps...we just need a church hierarchy to crack the whip on so many apostate adherents..and purge homosexuals
Catholics are so huge...this actually does matter...
