Outside of America, Catholics are overwhelmingly liberal -- not conservative, and inside America, Hispanic Catholics are most certainly not conservative in their political views. To suggest otherwise would be ignoring decades of electoral data
With Pope Francis’ “green encyclical” due this summer, the Catholic propaganda is out in full force—most notably at “conservative” websites. Some articles ask the question: “Pope Francis, Green Conservative?”
There is a debate as to whether or not Pope Francis is Hispanic, but he clearly represents Hispanics—and Hispanic Catholics are dominantly not conservative (same with libertarians—if they were conservative, they would be conservatives, not liberatarians). Thus, we have another Trojan Horse movement up
The Pew Research Center has been reliably monitoring voting patterns by religion for some time, and their results are unequivocal. In the 2000 and 2004 U.S. presidential elections, Hispanic Catholics voted 2:1 in favor of the Democratic candidates (Gore and Kerry, respectively) versus the Republican candidate (Bush 43). This should tell you everything you need to know about the inherent political views of most Hispanic Catholics, especially since Bush 43 was more of a centrist than a true conservative.

Most 1st and 2nd generation Hispanics dont vote. They are apolitical.

I hope a lot of money was not spent to figure this out. All they had to do was ask Captain Obvious to figure out that Hispanic Catholics are not Conservative.
Nonetheless, in America there has been the "Kennedy Catholics" who have been the "Catholics" of record in this country for generations.
I wouldn't count out the Irish mafia, either.
lol
The most conservative Catholics are in Africa. They still preach vehemently about helping the poor bbut that is and always has been Catholic dogma. But as for the traditions and social mores they are by far the most conservative.

The television media lies to you. They hate you and don't tell the truth.
Don't believe them.
I haven't owned a television in over a decade. It's a time-waster. And the media lies.

Hispanic Catholics Are Not ConservativeWell duh! I got news for you, MOST Catholics "are not conservative".
I guess no one told Sierra about the church in Africa - http://articles.latimes.com/2013/mar/08/world/la-fg-catholics-africa-uganda-20130309
More accurate to say many hispanics are socialists - calling them liberals is just not strong enough.
When you run into a true Hispanic conservative they are usually a gem.
In the United States, concentration of Hispanics are also known as Democrat districts.
From what I’ve seen, you are right. Most Catholics are not conservative.
Ohhhhh, you're going to get it now.
Protestant Hispanics are much more conservative.
In 2004 they went 56% republican, and in 2008, 48% republican.
That doesn’t tell us their politics, or how they would vote in American elections.
When you offer no contrast to your opponent, you can't then complain that hispanic Catholics don't vote conservative. I know of few hispanic Catholics who condone gay marriage, abortion, etc.
