A rather simplistic conclusion to a far more complex situation. But as always. It's the Catholics who are at fault. Oh Well!
It's not just the Catholics, it's any Church and denomination that dares to stand on the side of morality.

Good Chart.
Romney won the white vote 59% to 39%. Catholic whites voted 59% to 40%. I would say that the race/ethnicity variable is more predictive than the religion variable for Catholics.

RE: Does it matter?
Yes it does, and I’m not even Catholic.
But I do differentiate between the erring INDIVIDUAL from what the church teaches.

Part of it is that the first Catholic President, JFK, happened to be a democrat.
One of my Catholic cousins even has a shrine to JFK in his kitchen.

I'm glad you think it matters. I really am. That is refreshing.
It is hard to be a Catholic and a Republican. (not looking for sympathy). But to stand for truth I feel I must vote Republican.

Here’s how I see it: They or others in their extended family are receiving Government benefits. They vote Democrat to protect their income. When asked about the abortion stance of the politician, these voters lie. They say they thought the candidate was pro-life. They know what the Church teaches. But in reality, their pocketbook trumps the Church’s teachings.

That was quite an accomplishment because the Democrat whispering war of dirty tricks aimed at Catholic voters (he's a polygamist, he sacrifices goats in his basement, his magic underwear is made from the exhumed burial cloths of martyred Saints) was in high-gear.

I am probably in the minority on this one. But I think the Democrats made a big mistake in using those tactics with Catholics. Catholics are told here daily what we believe and most of it's not true. Therefore we would be more likely to figure that it most of it would not be true of Mormans as well.

Is this some kind of new category?

Old news.
**To get a large enough group of Catholics, the study pooled data from the American National Election Studies for election years from 1992 to 2008.**

RE: Because they want to keep their contraception pills!!
Why do they believe Republicans want to take their contraception pills away from them?
What Republicans don’t want is FORCING someone else to pay for their contraception pills if the someone has a moral objection to it.

1) White Catholics vote the same way White Protestants do. It's the Hispanics that skew the numbers.
2) The reality is, besides some white Evangelical Christians and low Information Independent Women voters, nobody really cares enough about abortion to make a candidate's position on it a priority when choosing who to vote for.

When the Protestants do something about this problem, maybe the Catholics will notice.
8 out of 10 white Protestants voted for Romney...95% of black Protestants voted for Obama...
95 percent — unbelievable.
