Padre Reese, the real question in these polls whether examining  RC voting or "evangelical" voting, is this: how do you define the terms? Take it from a non-RC, those "evangelicals" (by now a near meaningless theological term having been so stretched by the media) who overwhelmingly voted for Mr. Orange, rarely darken the door of a church. They are self-selecting in their description, having already attempted to monopolize the term "Christian".

We in a mainline church are a little easier to measure given our smaller numbers and cohesion. As to you RC, are the pollsters measuring any baptized RC, who is a cultural Catholic? Never at Mass, no check in the mail, in church when niece marries or when Uncle Vito dies, but otherwise never. If that is a Roman Catholic, then you folks are like our Jewish friends who can be agnostic but fully Jewish (well not in the minds of the black garbed ultra-Orth. but that's another story).
