[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most Catholics are still Democrats.[/quote]

Not the ones I know, including myself.[/quote]

What a great anecdote! Here is some data:
"Overall, 57 percent of Catholics affiliate with the Democrats and 40 percent with the Republicans when those leaning toward one or the other party are included. The Democrats held a three-to-two lead before we included the leaners."

I expect the Democratic percentage is much higher among those involved in higher education in Massachusetts.[/quote]

According to the exit polls for 2014, Catholics went 54-46, with Republicans in favor.  The number for white Catholics is even higher, and I'm sure the number for wealthy white Catholics (which is what a lot of the Boston College demographic is) is higher than that.[/quote]
