That's not what I'm told, certainly not by other Catholics. First, other Catholics repeatedly post that there are more Catholics than Protestants in this country. Second, other Catholics have also claimed that the majority of Protestants "stayed home" and didn't vote for Romney, with sufficient numbers missing that Romney lost the election with the remaining non-Protestant voters.
Take your pick. If we're the majority, exit polls showed that of weekly-attending Protestants who did vote, they still voted in greater numbers against Obama than weekly-attending Catholics did. And if we're in the minority, then Catholic-cast votes outweighed ours. Any way you want to slice it, your side come out and supported Obama in greater numbers than our side did.
I'll toss you a bone, however - more Catholics voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2012 than did in 2008 (roughly 3% more among white weekly mass-attenders). That said, the majority of bishop-counted, self-professing Catholics still voted for Obama in both elections. Deal with it.
There are more protestants in the country than Catholics.
Deal with it.
“The largest religion in the US is Christianity, claimed by the majority of the population (76% in 2008[2]). From those queried, roughly 51% of Americans are Protestants, 24% are Catholics”
