As I am sure most of you know, before the Democrats became so secular and before abortion was seen as a key issue, American Catholics were heavily settled into the Democratic column, culminating with Democrat Catholic John F. Kennedy.

This alliance has slowly crumbled away as the Democrats become increasingly secular and often even anti-religion. This has received increased attention in recent years with the Obamacare contraception mandate.

Where do you see the Catholic vote going heading forward? Will they re-establish their strong emphasis on social justice in politics an drift back toward the Democrats, remain a swing vote, or drift further to the right over sex issues?

LOL!  I wish!

And BRTD is right.  Catholics don't vote as a bloc.  Massachusetts Catholics lean Democratic and Southern Catholics lean Republican.
