The typical Roman Catholic has far less power to affect church policy than an Evangelical. As you probably know, the RCC is a rather top down organization, with marching orders coming from Rome.
That said, many conservative Catholics do fight for what if right. Should we slam them because they don’t succeed?
I doubt there are any FReepers among the 55% of Catholics who voted for Hussein. I think we should encourage the 45% in their fight against the 55%, not bash them.
You are right, but this is not the model we were given in the Apostolic Era and can be corrected.

Please don't fall into the PC trap of thinking that criticism is "bashing". While I agree that it is unlikely that there are many obama supporters among them, their behavior is hypocritical in the least. On the one hand they run into some trouble and immediately call for Christians to come to their aid and on the other hand their church supports the party that is causing the problem. We see this hypocrisy over and over again, just look at the states with the highest abortion rates. They really haven't done anything to change this.
When someone asks for help we should first look and see what they are doing to fix the problem before we commit resources.
