There was a time when I referred to catholics in unflattering terms, but I grew older and mellowed. But I am getting back to the point where I have nothing nice to say about them when it comes to politics. People like the idiot author of this article are really making it hard for me say anything nice. Flame on, but this country is being driven into the ground by democrats, aided and abetted by the majority of catholics.

Please take note that "National Catholic Reporter" is a notoriously liberal, heterodox rag which has been ordered -- several times -- by the local ordinary (the Archbishop of Kansas City, MO) to drop the word "Catholic" from their name.

They continue to ignore that order. There is nothing "Catholic" about them.

White Catholics vote in roughly the same way as White Mainline (non-Evangelical) Protestants. They were a little less for McCain and a little more for Romney, but neither group actually favored Obama. In other words, Catholics who've been here a while have assimilated and vote pretty much the same way as their Protestant neighbors do.
