Obama won Catholic vote, regular churchgoers chose Romney

Obama won Catholic vote, regular churchgoers chose Romney

President Barack Obama won a slim majority of votes from self-identified Catholics, according to exit polls conduct by CNN.

The polls shows that 50% of voters who identified themselves as Catholics voted for Obama, and 48% for Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The CNN poll did not distinguish between active and lapsed Catholics.

Protestant voters swung heavily toward Romney, the CNN polls showed, with 57% choosing the Republican and only 42% voting to re-elect Obama.

Among voters who said they had no religious affiliation, Obama was the overwhelming favorite, with a commanding 70-26% edge.

The CNN exit polls showed a clear preference for Romney (59- 39%) among voters who attended church services weekly, and an even more pronounced tilt toward Obama (62-34%) among those who never attended services.

This vote is just indicative of the amount of people who just don't go to chruch, and the amount of people who feel they just don't have to listen to the church they supposedly attend. What I don't get is why people still feel that need to affilate themselves with a church when they don't even attend.

This vote is just indicative of the amount of people who just don't go to chruch, and the amount of people who feel they just don't have to listen to the church they supposedly attend. What I don't get is why people still feel that need to affilate themselves with a church when they don't even attend. This is indicative of something that is still inside of themselves that makes them feel called to a church. The big problem is getting the message out from the chruch of what those churches teach and affirming what is taught by those churches. Now the problem of getting people to church and getting them to know is compounded by the fact that the economy is so bad people have to work 6-7 days a week to make ends meet. By the time they get to Sunday they think that church is something of an option, and their own personal interests win the day. The other issue from this election was that the Republican Candidate, Mitt Romney is a wishy washy New England Politican who everyone tried to make out to be something better than he actually was, and he didn't run the best campaign and made some big blunders.

The USA is in alot of trouble. Specifically the Republican party is in alot of trouble and the Religious vote could be potentially disowned.

The Hispanic vote went to Obama because their is a great fear of deportation from the Republican party. Now the issue of Abortion trumps that but some voted from the fear of destruction of their families via deportation. I have to fight that issue living abroad in Taiwan. It is very scary. I don't justfy it, but I believe that the Republicans should of worked on finding away to really fix this problem so that they could expand their base.

I wonder what the percentage of Obama voters would be found if they could poll the American bishops...probably higher than among the laity.

Next year they will be screaming when Sebelius's edicts put the Catholic hospitals on the spot. (For now, offer abortifacient pills...next step: provide abortion services or be ineligible for any federal money.) This year, when it could have made a difference, they were pretty quiet for the most part.

The Catholic lady next door voted dem, as usual, because dems are *for the poor*.

And she was telling me how all her friends voted dem as well, because of all the handouts, all the entitlements that the government just hands out, national healthcare being the biggie.
-----------------------------------

Catholics voted as the nation voted. Those who identify themselves Catholic, but don’t attend Mass, etc. shouldn’t count.

The heart of the matter is simple. We are living in a time of moral decay, egoism, and a general lack of personal accountability.
----------------------------------------

Everyone who formally or materially supports a grave evil has been excommunicated, this includes those Catholics who voted for Obama and other pro-abortion candidates.

But nobody tells them they are...they are just supposed to "know" it? Tell me again what earthly good that does.
