That’s easy. Catholics don’t live their faith. Evangelicals do. You will know them by their fruits.

Oh, what about the significant percentage of Evangelicals who DID vote for Obama? Were they “living their faith”?

What a ridiculous statement.

Textbook example of a Type I Error.

When a Catholic falls away from the Church and doesn't live his faith any more, he generally still refers to himself as a Catholic anyway.

When an Evangelical falls away from the Christian life, he generally doesn't refer to himself as an Evangelical anymore.

That's the only difference.

The number of people who claim to have been born again at some point in their lives and the number of people who actually live a Evangelical life is as great a discrepancy as the number of people who are nominally Catholic and those who actually live a Catholic life.

You'll find the problem with the brush you've selected to be that there aren't any paint buckets big enough to dip it in.

Boy, are Evagelicals dopes! Oops! I just did it, too!

Mighty broad brush you’re painting with there.

You might try a qualifier. I am sure I can find some evangelicals who don’t also. I’ve known more than one or two in that category. And I’ve known Catholics who’s faith colors everything they do from waking to sleeping.

Won’t deny, though, there are too many people who are cultural catholics and choose which part of the walk they want to do. Else they would have put life issues at the top of determiners of who they voted for.

They are a scandal upon the rest of us.

Evangelicals also voted for Obama.

We cannot judge everyone with such broad blanket monikers.
