” Exit polls are reporting that more weekly churchgoing Catholics voted for John McCain than for President-elect Barack Obama, slightly favoring McCain by 50 percent to 49 percent.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is a difference between Mass attending Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants in their voting patterns. Those actively practicing Protestants in fundamentalist denomination far exceeded the Mass-attending Catholics in voting for Mc Cain.

Personally...I see it as a failure on the level of the Catholic bishops. They are failing to properly catechize their flock. For example:

My daughter taught at a Catholic K-8 high school in Texas during the 2008 election. ALL of the teachers, pricbipal, and overseeing priest voted for Obama (except my daughter) and they took every opportunity to tell this to the students. Obama is a man who voted three times to deny medical treatment to infants who survived an abortion. UNBELIEVALBE!

I have great respect for Catholicism. It would please me very much if every Catholic fully practiced their religion **ALL** of it! Imagine how much stronger, healthier, and wealthier would be our nation. I would be especially pleased if **all** of the Catholic bishops, leaders, and educators fully kept the First Commandment and fully worshiped God instead of the state.
