**Many of these North East Liberals are just Catholic by affiliation and don’t attend Mass. Or if they do, they’re just the Christmas and Easter types.
A married couple that attends Mass regularly is way more likely to be pro life, pro children, and conservative, even in Massachusetts. I’ve seen it. I have lots of Irish friends named Sullivan and Murphy that have 4 kids and attend Mass regularly. My sons get frustrated some times when they can’t play with their friends because these kids are at CCD.
And believe it or not, there are many families like mine that have 3 or more kids but no religious affiliation at all and still vote conservative in all issues.**
Source for your assertions of lumping all Catholics into this one bucket, please.
I didn’t lump Catholics into one bucket. I said there are generally 2 types where I’m from. Easter and Christmas Catholics and more devout weekly Mass Catholics. My “source” is over 40 years of living in and around large Irish and Italian Catholic families. IMHO, the families that go to Mass more often are more conservative. Obviously, you are free to disagree.
