Does anyone have any insight as to how American Catholics reconcile Hillary with their religious faith?
I get the impression when American Catholics are polled it is including people who don't really ever show up to Church. I have a family member who does not go to Church but is Catholic and so would be included as a Catholic in large numbers of surveys.
I have several friends who routinely ask "How can one vote for Trump in light of Catholic Social Doctrine?" When asked what parts of Catholic Social Doctrine present a problem with voting for Trump, it comes down to 2: racism and immigration.
I have watched people make more money off throwing around false accusations of racism than Clinton made off selling national security down the river. As for the latter, the Catholic Church typically presents immigration as "We must let immigrants in otherwise we are not being kind to our neighbor." They frequently ignore the large quantities of people here who are suffering without jobs and could claim to be competing (and losing) for jobs with immigrants.

But among Catholics who attend Mass weekly, Clinton led by 57-38%.
