The Catholic vote

[Illiniwek]

There are three Catholic blocks. The Hispanic bloc and the ChrEaster (non-church going, white) bloc support Democrats and the church going whites support Republicans. The Hispanic bloc is more socially conservative, but because Republicans cannot embrace Hispanics, they will continue to be Democrats. Non-church goers are not passionate about Catholic sexuality issues and focus more on social justice, while white church goers are generally quite passionate about sexuality issues (at least until Pope Francis' tone change has more time to settle in. I am a Catholic who went to Catholic high school, lived in a Catholic dorm, and am very involved in the Knights of Columbus, and its fool proof that everyone that I know regularly attends church voted for Romney, and everyone who don't voted for Obama (the only exception being me (I attend church, voted for Johnson, and supported Obama vs. Romney)).
