In 7 states, Catholics make up more than 30% of the population. Obama captured all 7 of those states on Election Day. In 8 states, Catholics account for less than 5% of the population. Seven of those states swung for McCain, and the 8th, North Carolina, is still listed as "too close to call" as I write this analysis.

To be sure, America's Catholic population is heavily concentrated in states that have a liberal political tilt. But is that a coincidence? Are those states hotbeds of liberalism despite the heavy Catholic presence, or because of it?

....Among Catholic voters who attend Mass weekly, McCain won majority support: 54- 45%. Among those who do not attend weekly Mass, the margin for Obama was an overwhelming 61- 37%. Thus Obama drew his support from inactive Catholics. And unfortunately, most American Catholics are inactive.

CATHOLICS did NOT vote for Obamanation.

CINOs voted for him and consequently excommunicated themselves from the Catholic Church since their vote supported abortion.

Remember, FRiend, CINOs vote for Obamanation.

Analyzing the “Catholic” vote would be like analyzing the “protestant” vote. It can’t really be done because both groups are large and encompass widely varying political views.

What we do consistently see election after election is that faithful, committed church-going Catholics and “Bible-believing” Evangelicals vote pro-life. Less than committed Catholics and protestants do not consider their faith when voting and simply vote for what they believe are their self interests.

Personally I have no use for any of those in the latter category.

we call it “CINO” -Catholic in Name Only...a species in the same phylum as “RINO” ....both of which, are less politely characterized as those that can’t or won’t “walk the talk”...
and in failing to do so, IMHO, dishonor their fellowman at the very least.

Speaking from New Jersey, I can tell you that many Catholics (including much of my family) are as religious in their devotion to the Dems (especially those who are public employees) as they are to the catechism, perhaps moreso. Even among the hardcore parishioners in my family, they went for "the one" and tell me that "no politician can do anything about abortion anyway."

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Thank you for posting this! I have been desolate over the Catholic vote for Obama. My Catholic friends and family have shocked me to the core by voting for him. At least I now know that roughly half of those sitting in Mass with me did not vote for him.

At least that’s something.

Before answering that question, let me cite one more vitally important piece of polling information: Among Catholic voters who attend Mass weekly, McCain won majority support: 54- 45%. Among those who do not attend weekly Mass, the margin for Obama was an overwhelming 61- 37%. Thus Obama drew his support from inactive Catholics. And unfortunately, most American Catholics are inactive.

I am surprised, and very disappointed, that amongst 'active' Catholics only 54% voted for McCain. A slight of, and lack of faith in, the senator? For Gov Palin embodies Catholic tenets much more so then many actual members of this Church.

I Corinthians 3:16-20
16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

18Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"[a];
20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."[b]

How long until God acts on this promise? All you pro-lifers out there, please pray for it.

Here in Colorado, people overwhelmingly voted down the measure to define life at the point of conception. I will pray every day for the above scripture to be actualized as the prophet Jonah called for repentance and there was none, metaphorically speaking.

Doesn’t surprise me. Lots of folks call themselves Christian, Protestant and Catholic alike. few actually know Christ. Its like being in a club anymore.
