"What I consider liberal is the Catholic vote being an extremely dependable vote for the left in election," Patently not true.
"But when we hear that 54 percent of American Catholics voted for President Obama last November, and that this somehow shows a sea change in their social thinking, we can reasonably ask: How many of them practice their faith on a regular basis? And when we do that, we learn that most practicing Catholics actually voted for Senator McCain." - Archbishop Charles Chaput.

The Catholic church is more than happy to count them as members in spite of that.
It should own them under all circumstances, or start enforcing its own teachings and deny them communion and not count them as part of that one billion strong.
