20% of white evangelicals with no historical baggage of voting Dem. 40% of white Catholics with the historical baggage

Both are idiots and voting against their Christian beliefs.

Blaming just the 14 million Catholics who voted 0 instead of including them with the 9 million Evangelicals and 21 million Protestants/Other Christians who voted for 0 is silly -- all of these are equally culpable

as Tired pointed out, whichever group you go to -- whether Catholic or the denominations, the church-goers by and large voted against 0.

Seems like a wider morass rather than just religious view

Btw, I adjusted my #s of all...

Protestants/other Christians: 28.5 million -- includes 11 million black Protestants; 8 million white mainline Protestants; 6 million white Evangelicals; another 3.5 million minority Evangelicals/Protestants/other Christians.

Catholics: 15.5 million -- includes 10 million white Catholics, over 4.5 million Latino Catholics, 1 million black/"other" Catholics

So...Protestants/other Christians & Catholics combined to give Obama about 70% of his votes...

I for one am not ignoring anything. My point is about the Catholic Church. I'm sure there are Mormons that voted for Obama, but that's not my denomination. Pointing fingers is just not productive. I've been making complaints about this in the RC's since Clinton. He's a man that lied on TV in front of the whole world about adultery, and Catholics still love him. He hasn't asked for forgiveness, he's mad he got caught.

One might say, well at least he's not RC, but Teddy was, and still got elected year after year BY CATHOLICS! Kerry is Catholic, Pelosi is Catholic, Biden is Catholic, and they consistently vote to kill children and support sodomy. Why is absolutely NOTHING EVER said to them?

We live in a lost world, I understand that, but what is the RC Church's role in the world? Is it to go along to get along, or is it to represent the Will of God on Earth? IMHO, you can't get there in silence. Apparently the church thinks they can sneak in the back door and God won't notice.

The arrogance of the church is to think they are somehow not accountable to God as the culture slides into Gomorrah. To act as if it's somehow the prots fault that Catholics voted by 50% to thumb their nose at God, is just childish. I can't deal with prots or Mormons, or even the American Indian, but I would hope my denomination would speak out AND ACT when the pew warmers scoff at God. The speaking is a whisper and the acting is nonexistent.

You are missing my point if you keep throwing figures out about prots and others. MY concern is over the reaction of the RC's to outright rebellion.
