Let me just say that social conservatism, at least from my 70 years of observation, doesn’t break down to being a republican or a democrat. Nor independent for that mater.
The abortion issue for instance, highlights this... A large majority of adults DO NOT support abortion on demand. Something like 70%. These folks are not all republicans. For example, the Catholic block is probably the most focused anti-abortion group, and they vote overwhelmingly democrat.
As far as fiscal conservatism is concerned, people vote their pocketbook. People vote in a way that they perceive will benefit themselves and their families personally. They don’t necessary understand the issues and they may be wrong, but they vote that way none the less.
Pro-life Catholics are a minority in the Church—a very vocal, active minority— but still a minority. No one who votes Democrat can claim to be pro-life. The Church has been preaching socialism and social justice since before there were such terms.
American churches have sold their souls to gorge themselves at the government trough. Abandoning their responsibility for the welfare of their members, the churches now scrabble to grasp at the crumbs that the government portions out in order to enslave them.
People may vote their pocketbooks, but the bill is paid in the tears of their children. Caesar’s ghost glares enviously out of his grave at the leviathan that feasts on the blood of generations.
