You are increasing becoming shrill. Damning evangelicals because 20% voted like 50% of Catholics is absurd, and is attacking the chaff in our eye when a beam is in your own, while the former needs no explanation other than the one given, that we do not claim all who use the term evangelical are true, or claim assured infallibility, neither will all the proffered “historical baggage” you can muster excuse the 50% of Catholics who vote liberal.

Post no more of your absurdity to me, as they are hardly worthy of a reply but testify to all the sophistry RCs will sometimes go to defend Rome in their supererogation of devotion.

It's like a circular firing squad here now.

For the record, this study claims that Catholic voters who regularly attend Mass broke 67% for Romney to 32% for Obama. Remember, Catholics are obligated to attend Mass. Any voters calling themselves Catholic who aren't attending Mass regularly are secular voters.

I have no idea how accurate the results of the above study are, but statistics never tell the whole story, anyway. There are other factors influencing the votes of Christians of all denominations. Pointing the finger at Catholics specifically (or any other denomination, for that matter) will get us nowhere.

Just because your posts have been caught out and now are screaming away, copying in your posse in cc shows a real case of being shrill

quite frankly, 9 million evangelicals voting for Obama compared to 14 million is not a gnat to a camel comparison. Neither number is good, but the number of evangelicals voting for 0 is not miniscule...

You keep on demanding an answer as to why some Catholics voted for Obama, which presupposes we are claiming all Catholics are true to their name, and the explanation is that the enemy sows tares among the wheat , or that they lack discernment (and who may engage in racism), and such were problems with the N.T. church.

Why did 9 million odd evangelicals and 21 million Protestants/Other Christians vote for Obama?

If your post claims that some of your folks are more conservative, then why this large number voting for Obama?

Instead of focusing on that, your posts are playing diversion

20% voting for Obama is still not good enough -- and there is no historical baggage to vote for the Dems.

do you have an explanation for why 9 million evangelicals voted O?
