I suspect that bloc was largely contributing to those Democrats elections but it would be good to have dual printed confirmations of this factoid.

There really is no such thing as the “Catholic vote” at least not anymore. True BHO carried the “Catholic vote” twice. But that is because of the huge margin he won among Hispanics who voted overwhelmingly Democrat especially in the last presidential election. Hispanics account for at least 1/3 of all Catholics in the US today and in 2012 they voted about 3/4 for BHO over MR. The white Catholic vote went for MR over BHO 59% to 40%-—about the same as the overall white vote in general. Also those who tend to be active church goers (doesn’t matter your particular denomination) tend to vote GOP over those who are more secular and rarely or never practice their faith. Tell me your race, your age, and often you go to church, I can pretty much predict how you vote.
