Why would anyone think that Barrett being catholic means she’s conservative? Most Catholics these days are liberals, including the Pope!
One of my father’s near ancestors was a Catholic woman of Irish descent. Her husband died, when her son was a small child. Her daughter became a nun and was the object of several charismatic tales. Then, it ended. They didn’t see it as being conservative—not even the nun, when she was old and still in the convent.
I lived in a Catholic community in a small city for a while. From the perspective of a young, new arrival back then, it was a peaceful and even boring environment. But from one who had lived there for a few years, it was exciting—too exciting. But I somehow managed to survive it and get away with my life.
That small city wasn’t Chicago, but it sure was related by blood relatives and federal roundups.

The Catholic vote split 48 Clinton to 45 Trump in the 2016 election.
Older Catholics went for Trump, younger for Clinton.
Catholic vote mirrored the general population vote almost exactly.
