RE: Catholics gave him 48%.
well, this tells me that MOST CATHOLICS (52%) either: Voted Obama, or stayed home.
Which is to say, most Catholic don’t care that their church and institutions are under attack and would rather:
A) Allow Obama’s minions to attack their church and institutions with impunity or;
B) Actively support Obama’s minions’ attacks on their church
and institutions with impunity.
In what way are they still Catholics other than the fact that they were baptized as infants?
Because they are Catholics and identify as Catholics, not Protestant or atheist, or Jewish, or non-Christian, etc.
Do you think the vast pool of diversity called “Protestant” is tested for religious purity before being counted?
Separating out members of a single church, a single Christian denomination “Catholic”, is about as good a test for purity as it gets, the Protestant category is just a collection of everything, Black churches, gay churches, Southern Baptists, Episcopalians, people who have never been baptized or ever belonged to any church, but who still say that they are Christian.
