No Democrat has won the presidency since 1948 without winning the Catholic vote. Obama is not even close.

It better be even less than that voting for him. I can’t see why on God’s green earth that any Catholic could vote for a president who has spit directly in the face of the Church more than any other in history.

Excellent news. I am glad to see the majority of Catholics rejecting this evil man.

And their are many of them in PA, OH, MI, WI, & MN ergo why they are in "play"... It is the same demographic that gave Schumer and Emanuel the House and Senate in 06' IMHO and I wish I still had the map I found on-line to prove it, it has been gone for eons..... Turn about is fair play Schadenfreude Baby..

“This explains why Cardinal Dolan the leader of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops was told he is not welcome to attend the Democrats’ convention in Charlotte North Carolina next month.”

I slightly disagree. If the democrats cared about Catholics, they would have Dolan at the DNC as sort of a peace offering. They don’t give a damn about Catholics & have declared all out war against Church teaching & Catholic values. THAT is why Dolan isn’t invited - the DNC is anti-Christ.

Sorry to be the wet blanket here, but I have one big question. Was there any difference in the definition of Catholic between the 2008 poll and the current one? Unlike most denominations, people tend to stay “Catholic” even if they haven’t gone to church for years. I could easily see 50% of the total number supporting Obama but only 25% of the ones who go to mass weekly doing so. Unless the same criteria were used this poll might not be showing any real shift.

so how come the north east, PA, DE, NJ, IL etc will go fro the socialists.

Catholics and Jews vote left because they do nto nkow te turht, because their parents did, because the union says to do so and because they;re ignorant and not really Catholic or Jewish until it suits them.

As a Catholic who has been involved with the church, and who worked for a Catholic hospital for many years it has been my experience that the clergy has been considerably more liberal than the parishioners. The monks who ran the Hospital I worked for lived in a communal house and took a vow of poverty. It isn't hard to sell socialism to a group like that. But by forcing them to confront the abortion issue head on Obama made a mistake. The Alexian Brothers are men of principle. They will close the doors before they violate those principles.

There is a new book by Phyllis Schafly and George Neumayr called No Higher Power: Obama's War on Religious Freedom which was published very recently (includes events from early 2012).

Powerful book--covers the well-known and less well-known ways Obama has tried to destroy religious freedom and advance a militant form of secularism, not only at the expense of the Catholic Church but at the expense of all believers (other than Muslims).

Deserves a wide readership.

The priest in my church said the following. That the ten commandments are more important than the constitution. He said that even elected officials would agree with that. He also said the President would agree with that, being general and not talking about barry at all.

Well well well I never saw this reaction in all my years. People starting yelling not Obama, dont go there, he is not a Christian. This from quiet reserved older people who attend mass during the week. very telling!!

“No Democrat has won the presidency since 1948 without winning the Catholic vote. Obama is not even close. “

So the Catholic vote went for Obama, Clinton, Carter? Not much consistency, there.

LOL! I guess those of us who predicted this were right despite the many self-proclaiming experts who tried to shout it down. It will be interesting to see what the final numbers are at the poll that counts.

That poll makes the shunning of the Bishop IN-explicable to me. You would think they would welcome any help they could get and having a Bishop bless the group couldn’t hurt.

As a Catholic, I love what Paul Ryan has to say about the issues - never heard a contradiction from him. Romney on the other hand has to keep up the present persona and get us to believe he has totally abandoned past liberal positions.

Two points: This explains why they didn’t invite the Cardinal because they are trying to attract anti-Christians in general and anti-Catholics in particular. They can’t afford to send a mixed message. The Cardinal gambled and won. He knew very well they would say no. Now they have a bigger problem than they could ever imagine because the Cardinal has obviously been waiting until after Labor Day to start to fight. He has a huge lead already without really trying.
With 52% Pennsylvania has the highest percentage of self-identified Catholics in the country. Look it up.

I can imagine the conversation between Obama and Joe Biden.

Obama: “Hey there, Joey! How many Catholics are in the US?”

Biden: “I donno. A hundred? Kin I have a cookie?”

Obama: “Okay, a hundred. How many Muslims?”

Biden: “Mooses?”

Obama: “No. The other ones.”

Biden: “Oh, a whole bunch I guess. Like a bazillion.”

Obama: “Okay, that settles it. We’ll stick it to the Catholics, because they don’t matter, and invite the Muslims to pray at our convention, so they will vote for us.”
