The interesting thing I notice is Catholics were left of the nation as a whole up until 2008. Since 2008 they have been to the right. That is not what I see:

2012 Presidential voting D 49% R 48%

2018 midterm elections. D 50% R 49%

Roman Catholics are not helping the Republic.

Barky won the popular by 4 in 2012. Barky won the Catholic vote by 1 (at least according to this poll data). Therefore the Catholic vote moved right after 2008. In 2008 the Catholic vote and national vote were BOTH at about barky by 6.

Just looking at the religious angle without the location tells you little, otherwise you look at Jews and go "dang, why did 79% of them vote D and only 17% vote R, they must be (as eagleone said) not helping the Republic"

But then you forget that most Jews are clustered in the highly liberal big cities.

If one looked at Jews from rural areas, they vote like the people from rural areas

So, the religious angle is one, well, angle. There are a number of other issues at play.
